Adhesive Strip to Remove Blackheads from Your Nose

Do you suffer from persistent and unsightly blackheads? Wish you could use an adhesive strip to remove blackheads from your nose? Keep reading to learn more…

Blackheads are small pimples that occur when the pores become clogged due to excessive sebum production, dead skin cells, or particles of dirt from the air.

Once the pore becomes clogged, your skin’s natural oils can’t reach the surface normally and a granule forms which hardens and turns a dark color when exposed to oxygen.

Despite the unsightly appearance they can produce on the skin, however, dirt and grease are not the cause. Most of the time they occur due to hormonal imbalances, particularly related to androgens.

They can also occur as a negative reaction to excessive use of cosmetic products and makeup that mix together with the natural oils on your skin.

In any case, there are plenty of treatments to minimize or remove blackheads and give you smoother, cleaner, and healthier skin.

Adhesive strips can penetrate deep into your pores to make cleaning even easier.

While these are readily available in a variety of options, today we want to propose a few interesting recipes so you can make them at home.
