Skin Care Review: Formula 10.0.6 Down To The Pore Chin + Forehead + Nose Pore Strips

June 27, 2020 / No Comments

It’s summer. It’s hot. No doubt your pores are grosser than ever. Between makeup, sweat, oil and various dust your skin attracts during the day, it’s super important to keep your pores clean to avoid breakouts and blackheads. Spot treatments that draw the dirt out of the pores are perfect for a quick fix. One that I’m currently using is Formula 10.0.6 Down To The Pore Chin + Forehead + Nose Pore Strips. Nose strips are nothing new, but Formula 10.0.6 includes strips for other areas of your face where pores can be an issue — chin and forehead.

About Formula 10.0.6 Down To The Pore Chin + Forehead + Nose Pore Strips $6.99 (4 sets):

Target your t-zone and stop spots from erupting. This supreme strip combo has the strength of charcoal and the power of witch hazel to rescue pores from oil and stubborn impurities. Give your skin the “all clear” with this fast fix against blackheads! These nose, chin and forehead strips are for our oily, combo and normal skin-type friends. They work by drying onto the skin before removal.

My results:

I’m a sucker for any skin care product that addresses pores. Yes I’m obsessed with my pores. So, when I received Formula 10.0.6 Down To The Pore Chin + Forehead + Nose Pore Strips, I was pretty excited to try them.

To use these pore strips, you must first cleanse your skin, then apply them to wet skinThen wait for the magic to happen. As the Formula 10.0.6 Down To The Pore Chin + Forehead + Nose Pore Strips dry, you can almost feel the gunk being pulled out of your pores. When the strips dry, simply rip them off. Well, don’t rip, just peel them off.

Then you see all the nasty stuff that was in your pores that is stuck on the pore strips. So, if you’re doing a good job keeping your skin clean, your pores should be pretty clean. However, if you need a good pore cleansing, these pore strips are a great start.

Formula 10.0.6 Down To The Pore Chin + Forehead + Nose Pore Strips are also the perfect “touch up” for my skin when I have had a week of slacking off with my skin care. I love that the pore strips fit perfectly certain areas of your face. I have actually cheated and used them on certain spots on my face where my pores are a problem.

Bad Beauty Habits: R’Chelle Will Take Better Care of Her Hands

As much as I advocate for skincare and beauty routines to enhance your outer beauty I fall terribly short when it comes to one important area, my hands! Last week I took a look at my hands and they looked like I’d been playing in a box of rocks. Without question my beauty resolution will be to take better care of my hands this year. In an effort to restore the moisture and health into my hands, I’ll be using Clinique Even Better Dark Spot Correcting Hand Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 15 $29.50. What it is: A soothing hand cream that moisturizes and helps create a more even skintone. What it does: This rejuvenating hand cream helps reverse the appearance of dark spots, age spots, and discolorations, producing a smoother, clearer skintone.
