Is there a way to make your own pore strips to get rid of blackheads?

Vikki27 answered Thursday July 13 2006, 2:13 pm: Honestly, I don't believe that there is. Pore strips contain specific ingredients to ensure they remove blackheads without causing damage to the skin around the pores and most of them are made in a way which means they won't glue to your skin so much you can't pull them off without it hurting a lot. Any you make at home might not do that and you could end up doing damage to your skin and in a lot of pain.
I see that two people have suggested the use of duck tape. This is actually not a great idea. Firstly, duck tape will stick to your skin quite firmly and chances are it will hurt to pull it off. Secondly, the adhesive that makes duck tape sticky will actually clog your pores more than it will remove blackheads. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]

But that has speacial medicine in it so that they don't do any other harm to you. Theres some at dollars stores, if money is the problem. I'll do some research and edit this if i find a way!!
