How Biore Pore Strips Are The Devil

They are actually the worst...

We all deal with acne or other skin problems at one time or another in our lives.

Honestly, it is SUPER easy to get jealous of those people with *perfect* skin.

We also are all a little satisfied by the grossness of our bodies.

I started using Biore pore strips when I first started college back in 2014. I really didn't have a lot of blackheads or whiteheads during high school, and even when I started college.

But, that all changed.

The pore strip is like a very strong sticker that you can put on your nose, chin, forehead, or wherever you struggle with blackheads. When you pull it off, it pulls out all the bad (and good) stuff stuck in your pores.

Honestly, this is the most addictive feeling ever. To be able to see all the gross stuff come out of your skin makes you feel oddly satisfied.

I followed the instructions, using only one a week, and did this for about a month.

What happened after that pretty much ruined my skin.

My pores were DAMAGED! They were huge around my nose, to the point where it was completely obvious!

I stopped using them since (over two years ago), and my poor pores are still as damaged as they were when I had just stopped using them.

ADVICE: Stay AWAY from these little devils and use alternative and natural methods to clean out your pores. Since my pores are bigger and damaged, they collect all this gross stuff easier and it causes more pimples and blackheads than I want.

STAY AWAY!!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
