Biore Pore Strips for nose blackheads? I havent had the chance to get any facials done for the last eight months (Uhmm, since 2008 started) and my nose is rough because of those clogged pores. My cousins from the US use them all the time and claim it works - they just have to put a hot towel over the nose for about 5-10 minutes to open up the pores before applying the strips. I get such a kick seeing so many blackheads on a strip after peeling (It may sound gross but Im really fascinated by it). Aside from blackheads, I need to have warts cauterized. We all have warts - some of are just too small to get noticed (like mine) — I want to get rid of them soon.
