For easy removal of black heads with strips.
Nothing beats being in a steam room first.
Then steam the nose strip a bit to get it wel or spritz it
with water to wet it. dripping water onto it just either
makes it too wet or too icky.
Apply on nose. wait to dry in a aircon room,
preferably with a book and lounging on the bed.
Peel off when you feel the strip getting really cardboard
dry.
