DIY: Pore Strips

I am obsessed Biore pore strips. I love how I can instantly tell that my pores are smaller and my blackheads are gone, but Biore pore strips are expensive.  I came across a DIY pore strip recipe that is: inexpensive, easy to make and more effective on the skin. And here is how it works:
You will need the items pictured above. Total cost is about $2.49 
Ingredients: 
1 TBSP of Unflavored Gelatin
2 TBSP of Milk
Looking at the above picture, do the following steps:
1. Measure 1 TBSP of Gelatin into container
2. Add 2 TBSP of Milk
3. Until it looks like this
4. Stir the ingredients together, quickly, until you get a chunky glob.
--Microwave the gelatin for about 10-15 seconds. It will get creamier in the microwave. Stir that around and start applying it IMMEDIATELY to your face. This stuff hardens up fast so you’ve got to act fast.
--Leave on for 15+ minutes
--The gross, but fun part: Peel it off
--Your skin will feel soft, blackheads will be gone and pores will be hardly noticeable. 
TIPS
It has a bad odor, but once it hardens, it goes away!
Avoid your eyebrows!!! Rips them off, I learned the hard way
Wash your face before applying the peel
The thicker you apply it, the longer you should leave it on for
Questions? Ask me :)
