TonyMoly Egg Pore Nose Pack
byRita
Hello
beauties,
My skin has a
lot of problems and one of them is blackheads, especially in the nose area.
Daily, I use UV protection and I have a strict face cleaning routine that could
embarrass a lot of people. But despite these cares, I still have some blackheads on my face. Fortunately, not as many as I had a few years ago when I was
a teenager.
If you have
the same problem, you know how this is uncomfortable and how this can make us
insecure.
So, in one of
my many trips to Sephora, in the Korean section, of course, I discovered these
TonyMoly Egg Strips. I found it very cheap because I’m accustomed to buy some
strips that cost double the price. But with the experience I learned that the
price is not everything and sometimes we have good surprises, so I bought them.
And what a good surprise these were!
Let’s talk
about the brand. TonyMoly is a commercial brand since 2006 and for what I saw,
they have some cool products for skincare, makeup and body. The most iconic is
a pack in form of an egg, that are perfect for oil control and pores. Now my
eyes are on a set of ‘Natural Aroma’
masks that I saw in their website, unfortunately this Is not available in my
country, but I can wait. Here in Portugal there is a few ‘I’m real’ masks, Egg Products and a few hand creams, nothing more.
According to
the website, the egg pore nose pack strips is a ‘hi-tech formula made with egg shell powder and charcoal to eliminate
blackheads and whiteheads easily!’
Their nose
strips are rich in acetic acid, which deep cleanses pores and regulates oil
production. Some of the ingredients are:
· Egg shell powder, that soothes redness, calm and brighten the appearance of skin.
· Charcoal, that supports skin structure and elasticity. This ingredient is great to absorb the excess oil and it's also good on eliminating breakouts.
· Sesame seed extract, this is full of zinc, an essential mineral to produce collagen, and other antioxidants which helps to detoxify skin.
The packaging
brings seven strips, which is cool if you do one per week. They say that you
can use twice a week, but not apply in the same area repeatedly during a single
session.
I don’t feel
the necessity to do more than one per week. I think the skin needs to
regenerate, so give it some time.
How we should
use it:
-
After cleansing and toning, place the
sheet firmly on a damp nose. It’s important the area to be damp!
-
Leave the strip on for 10-15 minutes,
and remove once the sheet is dried.
-
In the directions they don’t say
this, but I think that is important to clean the area after taking off the
strip.
The strips
cling nice and snug comfortable against your skin so don’t worry. When you take
it off, it won’t hurt and you will see the difference when the strip is dry.
One tip that
I have is that you can use a hot towel to open up the pores before using the
strips. The hot towel makes the pores open and the strip will be more
efficient.
I almost
forgot ..., the first time that I used this, after cleaning, the skin was just
a little red but in minutes this disappeared.
If you are
like me, you will love to see the strip when you take it off. All the
blackheads and whiteheads stays in the strip and the image is so pleasing
(maybe a little bit gross, for some of you…and you will not believe how much
sebum we can have). You will feel and see your skin so cleaned and soft! To me,
I noticed a big difference, let me tell you!
In Portugal, this
product cost me 5,50€ but you can visit the website (tonymoly.us) and buy this for
$6.50.
