Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

I can clearly remember the first time a Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strip found its way into my hand. I was 16, heading into a Lilith Fair concert with some high school girlfriends. We were handed a free sample as we walked through the gates. Dismissing the strip as some ‘breathe-easy’ nose strip I quickly stuffed it into my purse. There were female artists to see, songs to sway along to, and vendor counters to peruse after all.

A few days later, when cleaning out aforementioned purse, I found the Biore strip again. After reading the label, I learned this was not a breathe-right strip at all, but in fact promised to clear the nose area of all pore-clogging, blackhead, zit causing, grossness. Huh. I had not even known I HAD pore-clogging, blackhead, zit causing, grossness living on the skin of my nose, but if I did, I definitely wanted it out! Thus began the legend of Biore strips.

Fast-forward to - ahem - 13 years later. Lilith Fair may be a thing of the past, but I’m still a fan of the Biore strips and still find myself amazed at all the junk that little strip of white is able to pull out of my skin in one fell swoop. (Anyone who claims to not be disturbingly, curiously fascinated by the end result of a used Biore strip? They’re lying.)
