Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips! I think the next time, I just super glue a No-Pest strip to my nose - it will be less painful to remove! That is all. I'll be back when my eyes stop watering. :silly:

on edit: typo - my eyes were still watering.

1. I'll take your word for it!
What purpose does a Biore Deep Cleansing Port Strip accomplish?

:hi:

2. very little, from my experience.
AND they're expensive! AND, yeah, they can hurt. I find waxing my brows to be less painful than those strips. They're supposed to pull out blackheads.

I don't wax my brows, either. I tried it once and my eyes were
practically swollen shut for about a week. I'll stick with the Brooke Shields, circa 1982, look - thank you very much. :7

3. To test the limits of one's tolerance for pain, apparently!

Actually, I'm not really sure. Damn. That was one effective advertising campaign :crazy:

4. I had a lot of trouble with a large bandage recently
that thing was practically welded to my arm. Taking it off was so painful that I wish I had an oxycontin.

10. I think if anyone really wants to use them,
they should note that scotch tape would be about as effective. and alot cheaper. Ah, the boundless sacrifices we make in the name of beauty.

12. They were expensive little suckers. I think I paid $6.99 for eight
of them. Well, technically I paid $6.99 for one, since the other seven will now be sitting in my medicine chest for the requisite amount of time before I finally toss them out.

Day-um - I'm not sure I have any skin left on my nose!

26. Aw, thank you. I can assure you that no permanent damage was done
and next time I will know better than to put something on my face that has instructions saying "wait until it feels like "paper-mache!"

d'oh

13. On the rare occassions that I feel the desire to approach my
eyebrows with tweezers, I first slather them in anbesol. It helps. :)

15. Next time just scrub with a Brillo pad and Comet.
Probably less painful. ;)

21. Duct tape is less painful than those things!
:hi: Of course, that is one of the advantages to living in the devastated regions - makeup and appearance are not number 1 on the list. :silly: I am worried that I will forget how to apply make up once we "get back to normal"

:hug: :loveya:

29. I must be a sado-masochist then.
I love using those damn things.

Did you pull it off slowly, both sides into the center?

33. I started to freak out a little when the darned thing
wouldn't come off. I thought I was going to have to tell people at work that I broke my nose or something, anything to explain the "bandage" stuck to my nose.

31. I was so repulsed at what was on them after I used them
I couldn't believe the nasty crud that came out of my pores. I found them no worse than wearing a bandaid and removing it
