Inside a beauty bloggers kit: T-zone clear out nose pore strips

Its no secret that an accumulation of excess dirt, sebum and sweat can quickly result in the creation of a congested complexion, but that doesn't give our skin the right to resemble a battlefield of blockages and blemishes.

Although often associated with skins of a greasier nature, all skin types are susceptible to the occasional blocked pore and blackhead - particularly if one fails to maintain an adequate skincare regime - but that doesn't mean that we have to accept their unsightly appearance.

T-zone natural anti-bacterial (think tea tree) clear out nose pore strips are specifically formulated to grab and remove blackheads, dirt, harmful bacteria and grease from the nasal area - a facial feature prone to excess sebum and unwanted pimples and blackheads - as their conveniently shaped strip molds perfectly over the bridge of the often tricky to treat nose.

Despite being susceptible to skin sensitivities, these fast - a maximum of 10 minutes - and effective strips not only leave my skin free from irritation, they have also proven to be an invaluable part of both my beauty kit and skincare regime.

Top Tip: Although highly effective when used alone, warming the skin via steaming or warm towels prior to strip application will help to soften and loosen stubborn blockages, as well as reduce the risk of skin damage when the blockage is removed. 

* Limit use to once every three days and avoid using on excessively dry skin, spots, blemishes and inflamed, swollen, broken or sunburned skin - this will only aggravate an already delicate and potentially painful area. 

Available from most high street and discount stores, you can pick up a pack of six nose strips from as little as £1.29, with variations on branded products also an option if your funds are low.
