I had my doubts at the beginning, since the strips adhered poorly and my pores were not cleaned. Only gradually I found the right application: One should first clean the nose with washing gel or soap superficially, so that the grease overhead is removed and the pores are more easily accessible. Then cover the nose with warm, wet Abschminkpads in order to open the pores by the heat a little more, alternatively, you can heat the nose under running warm water. One should keep the strips ready and replace with dry fingers, otherwise the agent from the strip dissolves, before it reaches the nose. Make sure that the strip adheres well to the nose and does not peel off somewhere. In the drying time should be the Geischt not forgiven, so that the strip dries on the skin. After about 15 minutes from the Strip dissolving slowly and then the surrounding skin of Strip pull to even open the pores a little more and to make the impurities easily be pulled out. Then apply cream with a skin care cream (free of grease).
