Truth is I'm not a fanatic of Biore strips since they can be slightly damaging to the skin. But, even I admit I get a sense of satisfaction when I see a bunch of blackheads come out. The idea behind the strips is pretty simple. You wet your nose, apply the strip, and then remove it once it has dried. Sometimes you get a ton of blackheads out and other times you get nothing. After trying it out a few different ways I figured out the most effective way to remove as many blackheads as possible.
Follow these steps and it should work for you as well (try to do this at night if possible):
1. Cleanse your face as usual but do it with the warmest water your face can handle.
2. Pat your face dry. Except your nose or other area you want to apply the strip - of course!
3. Wet the area once again with the warmest water possible. Basically you want to hold the water over the area for a few seconds at a time to help open up your pores. Once you think it's enough go ahead and apply the strip.
4. Leave the strip on for the suggested amount of time or until it has dried up and then remove it.
At this point you should see a ton of blackheads. The trick to making these strips truly effective is to open up your pores before use. If you don't want to put hot water on your face you can definitely use a facial steamer if you have one or just boil some water, place it in a bowl, and then put your face over the bowl with a towel over your head.
Hope this helps!
