Beauty Glazed offers nose pore cleansing strips that are designed to quickly and easily remove blackheads, dirt, and excess oil. The strips are applied to a wet nose, allowed to dry, and then peeled off. They are marketed as a quick-acting, deep-cleansing solution for congested pores.Â
How to use Beauty Glazed nose pore strips
According to instructions on merchant sites selling the product, these are the steps to use the strips:Â
- Cleanse: Wash your face thoroughly with a cleanser and warm water to remove makeup and surface oil.
- Wet nose: Thoroughly wet your nose area. The strip will not adhere to dry skin.
- Apply strip: With dry hands, peel the strip off its protective lining and place it on your nose with the smooth, shiny side down. Press down to ensure good contact, smoothing out any bubbles or creases.
- Wait: Allow the strip to dry for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it feels stiff, like paper-mâché.
- Remove: Slowly and carefully peel the strip off, starting from the edges and pulling toward the center. If it’s too difficult to remove, wet the strip again to loosen the adhesive.
- Rinse and moisturize: Rinse any remaining residue from your nose with cool water. Cool water can help calm the skin and close pores. Follow up with a soothing moisturizer.Â
Important considerations and alternatives
While pore strips like those from Beauty Glazed offer the instant gratification of visible gunk removal, dermatologists and skincare experts recommend caution with their use.Â
Potential downsides of nose strips:
- Can cause irritation: The adhesive can be harsh on sensitive skin, potentially causing redness and irritation.
- Temporary results: Strips only remove the surface-level buildup and do not prevent blackheads from reforming.
- Risk of skin damage: Improper or excessive use can lead to skin abrasions, broken capillaries, and damage to the skin barrier.
