DIY

Faça tiras para limpar os poros...

Quer limpar o seu rosto? Tirar aqueles cravinhos que tanto te incomodam? Então invés de pagar caro, faça você mesmo seu próprio poro strips. Não leva nem 5 minutos e funciona. Confira!

Você vai precisar:

Gelatina sem sabor
Leite (não se preocupe pelo tipo de leite, use o que você costuma ter na geladeira mesmo)
Um recipiente que possa ir no microondas
Um pincel de base que você já não usa



Modo de fazer:


Despeje uma colher de leite no recipiente. Adicione uma colher de sopa da gelatina em pó e misture bem. Se a sua mistura ficar bem grudada, como se fosse açúcar, está no caminho certo. Em seguida, coloque no microondas por 10 segundos. Espere esfriar um pouco e com a ajuda do pincel aplique no nariz ou em qualquer área que você deseje. Depois de aplicado espere 10 minutos. Quando estiver seco, é só puxar a capinha que se formou.
