You put WHAT on your face?

Remember when you were a kid and you put white glue on your hand, let it dry, and then peeled it off? Well, putting glue on your face like that works a lot like those pricey pore strips they sell at the drugstore.

All you have to do is spread a thing layer of glue over your congested pores and let it dry. When it’s fully dry peel off and ta-da! Clean clear pores!

Word of caution though, don’t let it come in contact your eye eyebrows or hairy areas. It hurts to rip off of densely hairy parts of your face.

I use it only on and around my nose and middle of my forehead. It leaves my pores a lot happier than they were before and for just a fraction of what a box of pore strips would have cost me. Quick and easy! Enjoy!

I just sent this post to a bunch of my friends as I agree with most of what you’re saying here and the way you’ve presented it is awesome.

Have you ever tried gluten pore strips? I saw them the other day. Seems to be the same idea, only this is less mess, more chemicals.

who would've thought that glue could be a beauty trick? after reading your post, i hurried to the craft storage, took out my white glue , went into the bathroom, locked the door (i didnt want anyone walking in on me : i felt like a little sneaky girl with her mama's lipstick), put the "white stuff" over my nose, around it and a bit on the chin, waited for 15 min and tadaaaa my skin feels super smooth and it felt just like using store bought strips except the store bought ones tend to tear and are harder to peel off!!! great beauty hack and thank u for sharing it, i learned something new today!!! thank u
