Biore Self Heating One Minute Mask

Photo Source - Biore

I heard many good things about using charcoal based products to clear away impurities from skin. I figured this would be a good time to try it since it seems tons of charcoal based products are cropping up. The product is very easy to use; just smooth the mask over wet skin. The natural charcoal  draws out skin’s impurities along with dirt and oil. They claim this mask is self heating, which is utter crap. I applied it to my wet skin, and only when I using fingers to massage in the mask did the mask generate heat.  When I did wash off the mask, my face did have a nice cooling sensation. My face did feel fresh but it was a bit tight after  washing off my mask.  I kind of wish there was more than just 4 packets especially since they recommend you using this product 2 to 3 times a week.

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

Not the best picture, but what can you do :P

With having more than 200,000 pores on your face, wouldn’t you want them to be clean as well? The oil - free paper mache strips promise to “deep clean” your pores and with regular use can reduce the appearance of your pores. I have been using these strips since I was in high school and they have helped removed the blackheads. Sadly, I didn’t notice an difference in the appearance of my pores or getting rid of my blackheads completely. While I wish I could get rid of the blackheads completely but these are fun to use in the meantime.
