That sounded like snother language.... I have to video record this though ... and try my best
Night and morning ?
It's really not. I think it's the fact that she speaking so quickly and it makes it seem a lot worse than it is but when this is explained to you step-by-step, it makes it easier. I will say the liquid BHA products is the number 1 to go for
… you must have nice skin, mine is decent, but I cannot stand my enlarged pores and if a few products can actually make them look smaller, hell I’d do a skin transplant if I could for that😹😹

Bro, I read your comment only after I posted mine. Glad to see some sensible people in comments.

Can you just provide us with a list of everything you just said. That would be extremely helpful
I took loads of screenshots 😂
@@victorialefley9439I followed your lead the screenshoting is effective 10/10
Trust me, just wash your face before sleep with a good moisturizing facewash, followed by application of retinol. And in the morning after washing your face, apply moisturizer and sunscreen (atleast SPF 50).
At night use an oil-based cleanser followed by a regular cleanser. Then apply a retinol and top it off with a moisturizer that contains niacinamide. In the morning use a BHA liquid, followed by a moisturizer that contains niacinamide and a sunscreen.
She doesn’t give any product recommendations because there are literally dozens of products on the market with those ingredients at all price ranges, you have to experiment to see what your skin loves.
Agreed. she went a bit fast at the end of course when talking about recommendations. Staring with an oil based cleanser is a good first step.
What I heard was “instead of using this one strip, use 20 other products”… 😂😂😂😂 mam, that’s just too much
A bottle of face wash will last months, compared to single-use strips. The recommended products may actually be cheaper per use. Plus, they're the same products for basically all skin care problems, and recommended for most people anyway.
I know right, I need something simple. That was like a ten step process.
skin is complicated
You'll have to spend a bunch of time and $ repairing your skin barrier if you use strips, but go for it.
It’s literally just washing your face and applying 2 creams at night. You can wash your face in the shower and then use the creams when you do your body moisturizer. 1 cream in the morning and sunscreen, you’re supposed to be wearing sunscreen as is.

Just rub ice 3 times a day. The coldness will tighten the pores in your skin around those areas and all the dirt and oil that’s stuck in your skin will get squeezed out. And no dirt or oil will get in when the pores tighten up. Make sure to wash and scrub those areas with warm water before so the pores are open because of the heat. Then apply ice.
Your pores can't tighten up, that's a myth
Idk man, that pull was satisfying af. I rewatch this video like 5 times for the pulling itself

Niacinamide has done more for my skin in two weeks than I ever thought possible.
Exactly
What brand do you use
share the brand please!
What brand?
Good molecules have a good and inexpensive niacinamide serum.
So like 10 different products instead of 1 simple pore strip? I'll risk it and save money
Same goes for me
well the difference is the long-term and short term effects, if you really have a severe issue with those pores/sebaceous filaments then you may want to invest that money into something that might do you better in the long term. Pore strips though cheaper are fairly temporary solutions a lot of the time and frankly can be pretty rough on your skin making things worse. It’s all about research and personal preference
And that's why yall will keep getting the results you get. Don't complain afterwards 😂
I am a person with darker skin and using pore strips has never left a mark, why do people hate it so much. It works, it doesn't damage your skin, it doesn't go that deep
They want to sell their cheap laundry detergent that causes even more damage on the skin 😂
It’s just our nose we put the strips so what break out you’ll get from that
she didn’t say dark skin, she said if your skin heals with dark marks, aka do you get dark marks and hyperpigmentation when your skin heals
basically she’s recommending a long term solution you might want to invest in if you are really having an issue whereas pore strips are more temporary solutions
It leaves marks on my skin and hurts so much. I'm a brown person with very sensitive skin and those strips will be very damaging.
She sounds like the medicine commercials that squeeze in all the side effects at the end 😂😂
Yes, i fully agree that oil based cleanser really works! After i started to use retinol of couse i also startes to use SPF. So, of couse, it's very important to remove Spf, so i started to do 2 steps : oil cleanser and after this i use a "regular" foam cleanser.
And this is the best thing that ever happened with my nose. About 90% of black head disappeared.
I can't say that my skin is perfect, but its almost perfect!
Who else completely ignored her and just watched that satisfying video at the top
Reminder that you don't have to use the exact same brands she has! That's why she didn't list the brand, she listed the key ingredients/draw required of them ❤ you can find stuff that contains these options that are cheap (or ones that are pricey it's up to you) are long as you are paying attention to the ingredient list
I was literally going to type this lol until I saw your comment
I luv her smile, when she was showing the products
That's the smile that loves money
Amen, thanks for putting it into a simple description. Other people make it seem intimidating
I stopped using all my luxury skincare and quit all sugar. Now I’m just using soap and CeraVe and now my skin is flawless.
Good for you
Genuinely
Everyone has different skin.
I genuinely don't believe anything she said. Using a tape makes your pores bigger?? Causes more breakouts?? And she doesn't even explain it. Totally made up
Wow good job ! ☺️
okay but can we all agree that the pore strip was immensely satisfying to watch 💀

Pore strips help with larger amounts of buildup niacinamide and salicylic acid help on a daily basis, but if you forget for a few weeks a pore strip is your best friend.
I hate it when they pull up products and don't tell us the name brand.
Look at the bottles a little more carefully then
Not every video on youtube is made to promote products (which is an almost guaranteed outcome after posting a video) some of them are for info and info only. But just to help out i can name some. That is the clinique take the day off balm, la roche posay retinol and either kate sommerville/ paula's choice BHA
you dont need a specific name brand. several brands have these products.
2 cleansers , 2 night creams , 2 days creams… I had to watch this 5 times and I still don’t know what to get.
Salicylic acid and moisturizer are enough 😁 I don't use a lot of products because my skin doesn't like it. If I may suggest, try to find BHA toner for exfoliation once a week. Cosrx from Korea is a good one for that!
@@sleeplesshead602 I got those two (salicylic acid and moisturizer) but they're not clearing anything up at all but maybe it's just my skin. Still thank you though.
You don’t even “need” creams. They’re a preference. You need one good face wash that’s not going to destroy your skin barrier, and then some sunscreen and moisturizer which often come together. That’s the bare minimum for a skincare routine. I personally like serums and creams but they aren’t a necessity.
I just use fresh water works like a charm
@@sleeplesshead602 My moisturizer has salicylic acid in it, and it works wonders on my skin.
They’re just soooo satisfying I don’t even care if it doesn’t work lmao
I used to just squish my nose and wash my face regularly. That worked for me.
I like to do these every so often cause they are sooooo satisfying
I used these once, she is right. All this did was open up all those pores and this doesn’t take out everything under it. For months, my face was covered in pimples. It basically opened up all my pores so everything came poring out and created pimples for months. Worse thing I ever did in my life.
If that’s the worst thing then I feel jealous 😂😂😂but then I remembered my fear before was dying with little or no memories and achievements like my mom. So I guess the flying across countries jsut to be proposed to form another country and the abuse and the everything is maybe worth it ? Haha idk if this is tmi I’m just thinking as I type honestly

Thank you I appreciate the straight forward ness it’s so difficult getting a straight answer on the web
what a stunning and knowledgable lady!
Honestly, just oil cleansing has worked so well for my skin. Niacinimide is am amazing product but if this all seems like too much, you can probably go with one or the other. But just adding an oil cleanse to my skincare has been so amazing for my pores
i have an oil cleanser but how do i use it? it turns white with water but idk how to use it ahahah do u have tips?
@@your.local.multistan It's best advised to find out how the company wants you to use their cleanser, but I usually do: step 1. Oil cleanse first (I usually do mine on dry or slightly damp skin) 2. Let the oil sit for 1-2 minutes so the good stuff in the oil absorbs into the skin 3. Wash off with a damp wash cloth (especially cause the oil I use clogs my drains haha) 4. Follow up with my normal face wash
Hope this helps, but always remember to get a second opinion cause I'm not an expert lol, and always pay attention to how new steps in your skincare are affecting your skin
@@dorian9769 thank you so much!! this helped lotss
What is the name of the oil cleanser that you use?
I’m so happy to hear a dermatologist actually include info for people who get hyperpigmentation. Very refreshing
Thanks for the tips but honesty that’s one of the best strip pulls I’ve seen! So much came out😌👍
I trust her cuz her skin is literally perfect.
It caused more breakouts and dried my skin out, and my pores looked crazy large, you're very correct,
Try taking l-lysine, that makes my pores get smaller when they are large!! I like Sundown Naturals!

I think it's also really important to wash afterwards and use a good gentle astringent to essentially disinfect the open pores that you've now created.
@@ShaeDailypores don’t open or close.
None of this is true.
This doctor said what you should do instead of using pore strips 😊😊😊
@@Uhohlisa You've removed a blackhead. A blockage usually consisting of dead skin cells, bacteria, and sebum, creating a pore that is no longer plugged. Hence, open. To imply that nothing had been removed would be like saying that a blackhead just doesn't exist. If it has a blockage in the pore would you say it's open? 🙄
Anytime you extract a blemish you should always disinfect the skin and tools (or fingers) before and after extraction. Would suck to get rid of a pimple, just to get a secondary bacterial infection from introducing more bacteria.
okay but the above one was so satisfying 😭😭
With warm skin, gently and slowly scratch with your fingernail. It will have the same effect of removing accumulated sebum, does not remove it all, (protecting against infection), and does not require buying anything...
We need a part 2 for the rest of the pores being cleared. I promise I'll listen that time 😂

2. follow this by a water based cleanser
3. then use a retinol with a moisturizer that contains niacinamide
4. use a BHA with a sunscreen that contains niacinamide
Her voice and soo lovely and such an amazing smile :)
I don't use the big patches, I only use normal pimple patches for my pimples. Other than that, I don't use strips.
Basically same but I have some large pimple patches to get large areas but they work the same
I use duct tape for pores on my nose ( you have to reapply it a lot of times for it to clean it a lot) and i just use lemons mixed with water and baking soda for pimples
speaking from personal experience, you can use pore strips sometimes, but the best they can do for you is nothing. you don't need a 15 step skincare routine, ALL you need is to wash your face once in the morning, once at night, use 1 moisturizer after washing that works for YOU (not something influencers tell you to buy, you just gotta trial and error your way through it, also they don't need to be expensive to be good), and wear sunscreen when you go outside. I am so serious when I say you do not need ANYTHING else unless you have a condition that needs targeted attention with some type of specific ingredients
No. Personal experience is not expertise this will not work for most people, it ALWAYS depends on person.
Kinda yes, but also no. I did just cleanse my face, moisturized and put on sunscreen and it did work to a degree but I'm just so oily I have to use a serum to control it. I'm really not kidding about the oiliness either🥲
Edit: And yes completely right in that products don't have to be expensive, drugstore is also really good!! Some brands are Cerave, E.l.f, Neutrogena etc
@@Robloxian-micheal69420 Maybe reread what I said? I put emphasis on using products that work for each person individually, and that you may need to use other products if you have a condition that needs targeted attention. Seems like you only read the first sentence.
@@marg4581 @marg4581 Oh yes that's exactly what I'm referring to when I say you may need things if your skin has an issue that needs targeted attention! Serums can be really useful for people with oily skin and I'm glad you found something that works well for you, I know it can be difficult to figure all that out lol
@@liddolbee yeah maybe reread what I said. A three step skincare won't work for most people, you ca have stuff that works for you but if a 15 step sincare works for you why stop it to follow someone else's advice?
Retinol was the only ingredient that actually made a difference for me. Plus ditching all my aggressive cleansers. Wich makes sense, retinol is a Vitamine A, wich is also what is used for acutane against severe acne.
Do you realize nobody is going to pay attention to you when you're side by side with those oddly satisfying videos?
My skin doesnt react badly to pore strips. My cheap-ass solution is using a strip once every 1-2 weeks (always immediately following a hot shower) to clean out any buildup, and using a salicylic acid cleanser 1-2 times a day to prevent/slow down buildup.
Probably not as great as using a bunch of expensive products, but 1 month in and my pores look better than they ever have
And, you can still afford to buy food...
This but once every 10 years
This is what I do too. I just use Neutrogena acne wash and exfoliate. I also use rosehip seed oil which helps
I think I’ll just stick to my basic cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen routine 😭 if I’m lazy I use micellar water 💀
Wish I had you as my dermatologist when I was young.
I used a pore strip tonight. So satisfying. Especially if they’re black ones so you can see everything.

Holy...a year would have passed by the time I reached for the last bottle of the regiment for the night.
I’ve used these for years with no negative reactions. While they aren’t as effective as a hydro facial, they do help with at home maintenance. I find they work best for me after using a charcoal mask 🤷🏽♀️
Same experience here. My skin is very clear after these strips. When I stopped using them I had problems with skin because I wasn’t removing all the dead cells and stuff. Maybe it’s not the best product out there but it works for me.
it works for me too
I did this and my little blood vessels popped up to the surface. I used to squeeze my nose a lot when I was younger but then I had it lasered so thankfully it also went away on its own.
Where did you go to get it done? Dermatologist, etc?
Same thing happened to me! Should definitely do the lazer! How many times you had to do this to get the result you wanted?
@@Orionyait is a dermatologist usually. Look at all options to treat acne though because if you have good medical insurance some acne treatments are covered completely by your insurance minus a small copay and some (like laser or chem peels) are considered cosmetic (not covered at all). If you have the money for cosmetic procedures, great, if you don't have too much or find laser out of budget see if your insurance covers you seeing and talking with a dermatologist (if you like them I suggest you stick with them in the future).

It's really satisfying ❤
I’ve always had the sebaceous on my nose and chin and never used any type of strips, they always seemed harsh and I don’t play when it relates to my skincare. As you stated here, we can find things to help lesson it, but nothing is one hundred percent going to stop the buildup.
No, it’s not going to eliminate but it sure does help, over years your skin will thank you.
This is a very natural process of the skin; it doesn't represent an illness nor a problem. But you can exfoliate your face with a gentle exfoliant. I have that same problem. So, at least every two to three days, I exfoliate.
Tea treat oil. $5 at your local Walmart. Tried everything doctors recommended for years... Had am estetician recommend tea tree oil... Acne and I'm talking sebaceous...was gone within two weeks and I had it for years I'm talking bleeding acne. Gift from God. If you still have the acne, try it. It will change your life.

Lol no way. Nose strip feels so awesome whenever I remove to remove and my skin becomes so smoooth afterwards. I’m not ditching it 😂😂😂 and besides, it’s so satisfying to check all the stuff that came out 😂
It can damage/irritate your skin, and if your skin heals with any type of mark it might not look flattering. and you could search online for ways to check everything that came out the pores.
Just take care of your skin so this isn’t necessary anymore
it just i cant stop watching these vids
I got those for my Dad few years back ,and boy what a difference and it stayed away.
Imma listen to whatever skin advice she gives because she glows
She turned me on to the Naturium brand, and my skin has never been the same.
I just wash my face with water and coffee grounds and I've been complimented for my skin pretty often I feel like you really don't need 12 things to make your skin look good
Can u explain it in brief😢
yes lets tell that to a board certified dermatologist because she obviously doesnt know what she’s talking about
anyways everyone’s skin is different and has different levels of sensitivity. what works for you might not work for everyone buddy
@@worganalamala2817 I was just pointing out the fact that you don't need a million different chemicals on your face I'm sure she knows what she's talking about but that skincare routine seems excessive
I can't hear nothing your face got me hypnotized 💯
Cheaper than going to the dermatologist and very satisfying. It’s not painful either compared to the treatment of pressing the skin by the dermatologist’s with his/her piece metal whatever they call it.
I like that you said pores "appear larger" rather than actually get larger. A lot of people don't realize that the pores stay the same size, it's just that they appear larger or smaller
Please explain, I don't get it.
If the failure was at a ripped off a brown spot, then don't use it on brown spots. And the cleaning you get out of it is clearly better than doing nothing at all.
My skin doesn’t heal with dark marks but going from my cheeks to my nose if my skin gets irritated in that area I get “broken capillaries” and they will not go away but since I started using tretinoin they aren’t so noticeably but these pore strips use to tear my face up and caused a lot of that.
Wash your face with warm warm water, not hot not cold, use soap, rinse and use cold water to close your pours. Shower the same way, warm water soap, then rinse with cold.
Finally someone actually explained the reason 😭 so many people just say, "don't use them, "they are too harsh"
Might try this for the kids and myself
I use the strips and then excitedly wait for the pores to fill up again then use it again!!
Probably the most beautiful looking doctor ever 🥰
thank you! I have sebaceous filaments and I had listen to another dermatologist and he said if you have these than use an oil based cleanser and rub it on your nose for five minutes, use a clay mask here and there, and use niacinamide. But I didn’t get an exact routine so I was kind confused and now I know what to do ☺️
I think the film forming agent can actually clog the pores… so it will remove stuff but you’ll keep going back to these strips bc it keeps coming back. I think they’re handy for when you’re having an event and want to get rid of sebaceous filaments but not as a solution to the problem.
When I was in my teens., I used to apply warm towel on my nose with whiteheads. It works. It didn't leave me with visible pores
Also, using the strips can fatigue the pores and lead to a more 'lax' and 'open' appearance.
after the 10 th
time watching, I'm going to make a video so that I can see the product types
Captions help me a lot. They are auto generated so they can be off but not with this one.
Great advice. Please tell us the products to use.
Milk....
Just use a cotton ball and dip in milk... Milk has a very weak acid... Spread milk over skin, let dry.. You'll feel it contract... Use a washrag in hot water to clean... Feels really clean, so cheap...
I just make sure to regularly clean my face and before I go to bed, I use a clear skin thing that’s in a blue bottle that’s designed to help with spots and preventing them. It’s usually around £3 or £4 in the uk
