Kiss your Blackheads Goodbye

 

So I had a birthday last week, and am now considered “late twenties.” Let me tell you what is not cool in your “late twenties”…blackheads. Those pesky little things that you think leave your face alone after high school, but unfortunately they tend to stick around.

The good news is, Bioré is here to make your life easier with their new charcoal products: Bioré Self-Heating One Minute Mask and Bioré Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips.

Let’s talk about the Charcoal Mask first. This is a self-heating mask that heats up, never hardens, and rinses clean. The mask purifies pores two and a half times better than a basic cleanser. It literally takes one hot minute and dirt and oil are rinsed clean. It does actually heat up and I was a little surprised, but it feels really good and your face feels super clean afterwards.

So really the charcoal mask heats up on it’s own (and it’s pretty awesome) to draw out dirt, oils and impurities. Then after your face is clean it ends with a cool tingly sensation to give you smooth and tight skin.  Plus the small packaging and little packets are great for traveling. I love it!

Ok, now let’s talk about the Bioré Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips! I’ve been using these for years. I seriously love these babies. They work like little magnets for blackheads. It’s a clean you can actually see when the strip is removed and y’all that is satisfying whether you admit it or not!

My favorite thing about these charcoal stripes, is they help to reduce pores..because NOBODY wants large pores.  Bonus! They are dermatologist tested and trusted and have been around for 20 years! They come with six in a pack and are super affordable!

skincare

I’m so thankful to Bioré for giving my “late twenties” skin the glow it deserves. I’ve EARNED the right to clear skin by surviving high school and I am so grateful for the Charcoal Mask and Pore Strips for giving me the skin I want!

Do you use Bioré Charoal Products? What’s your favorite??

    I need these! I’m going to the drugstore today, and you’ve convinced me to pick these up! I struggle so much with black heads on my nose no matter how much I cleanse! And if they work on reducing pore size then they are miracle workers!

    • Helen @ Hel On Heels says

      March 30, 2018 at 12:17 pm

      Yay! You will love them. I use them all the time and even trusted these strips to clear my skin before my wedding!
