You know how much we like celebrating a birthday right? So we couldn’t exactly let Bioré’s birthday pass us by without making a bit of a song and dance about it.
Bioré Pore Strips is celebrating 15 years in the beauty business, and to mark the occasion, they’ve got a gift for you! The limited edition Bioré Pore Strips collector’s tin contains the Pore Strips you know and love – you know, the ones formulated with a patented system to visibly remove congestion from the nose and T-zone (how satisfying is it when you see those buggers come out huh?).
Haven’t tried them out? Well get on to it! Here are 15 reasons why we love Bioré Pore Strips:
1.) Pores can store dirt and oil for up to 20 years (gross right?), but it takes only 15 minutes for a Pore Strip to remove cellular build up.
2.) There are three kinds of Pore Strips – Original, Ultra Deep, and Combination, which come with an extra strip for detoxing your chin or forehead.
3.) Pore Strips have tiny slits along the top and bottom to create a custom fit for every nose.
4.) Blackheads won’t go away on their own and can stretch your pores with time. And no one I know wants larger pores that’s for sure!
5.) Squeezing blackheads can cause scarring, but Pore Strips gently lift debris from pores without damaging your skin.
6.) Pore Strips are super easy to use – apply to wet skin and when the strip sets firm like papier-mâché simply peel from the edges to the centre – done!
7.) Like all Bioré products, Pore Strips are dermatologically tested and hypoallergenic.
8.) Pore Strips make a difference you can see from the very first time you use them – the proof is on the back of the strip.
9.) Ultra Deep Pore Strips are formulated with tea tree oil, menthol and witch hazel to tackle extra stubborn blackheads.
10.) Like karaoke and sushi, Pore Strips are another great Japanese invention – in fact they’re still made in Japan.
11.) They work just as well on men’s skin so your boyfriend to give them a go too.
12.) Pore Strips are so effective at clearing debris from pores you only need to use them once every three days.
13.) Applying Pore Strips after a shower when skin is soft and warm can increase their effectiveness.
14.) You can’t shrink pores permanently but clean, clear pores definitely look smaller.
15.) More than 67 million Pore Strips were sold last year: 4.1million of them in Australia – so they must be on to a good thing!
