Winning the blackhead war on your nose - and chin

Advantages: Very effective
Disadvantages: None

...I've first seen the Purederm range at beauty discounter Beauty Base in Ealing Broadway, London and because until now I haven't found a truly working nose strip treatment, I gave them a go. The Purederm range is widely available at chemists and online too and all products tend to have the same £2.99 price. The packaging The nose strips come in a pack of six (or 8 when on promotion) in a carton box donning the Purederm logo in white and red ...
...What it claims it does * Instantly cleans clogged pores * Removes blackheads * Larger size for better fit Apperance and application The strip is a small pad with a shiny surface on one side that's protected with a transparent foil you remove before application. It has a faint chemical smell of alcohol. You apply the shiny side of the strip on a thoroughly (dripping) wet nose. This is because the glue on the strip is activated by water, ...

...no way as good as Tweezerman super curl curler. I wasn't going to buy another pair for I was so dissapointed that they only lasted 3 weeks, but they are the only ones that I have come across that work so well. So, I am going to give them another chance and spend another £8 and hope for the best ...

Things are heating up!

Advantages: Smooth skin, cheap price
Disadvantages: Heat effect doesn't last long

...I came across a few Montagne Jeunesse products, including this Sauna Masque. ~What is it?~ This is a face mask made of self-heating 'therapy clay'. The idea is, that when you apply it to your skin it heats up opening and cleansing pores. It is made of natural ingredients - and contains Ginseng root extract, Cactus Flower, Evening Primrose extract, Jasmine extract, Grapefruit peel oil and Walnut shell extract amongst others. ~Packaging~ This comes ...
...front there is a picture of a woman with a thick red face mask on, and for some reason she has leaves over her eyes!! The sachet has a small perforated part at the top corner, which means it is easy to open - no searching around for scissors! ~Using it~ To use this you need to first cleanse your face and they recommend that you do this with water only. I guess this is in case residues from other products react with the mask. You should then apply ...

Review of Montagne Jeunesse Sauna Masque

these strips are pore-fect

Advantages: get rid of blackheads, cheaper than the competition
Disadvantages: they smell a bit weird

...noticed that they also stocked T-Zone packs for £3.75 including a box of 6 strips and a bottle of their foaming gel wash, which retails at £1.99, so I decided to buy that and save myself £1.25! ~Packaging~ The strips come in a box very similar to the one pictured but with a slightly different layout. If I wasn't looking for these I probably wouldn't have actually noticed them. They are aimed at teenagers of course, but still I think the packaging ...
...or excessively dry skin. - T-Zone have a website which is www.t-zone.co.uk if you want to have a look - The product is not tested on animals ~Conclusion~ These were very good, I would say just as good as the Biore ones, but a lot cheaper. At only £2.99 for six, they are definitely worth trying, even if they're just to keep in the cupboard in case of a breakout! P.S. Sorry about the title - they're getting worse with each review!! ...
