DIY Pore Strips

The Petit Elephant Blog Shows How to Deep Cleanse Your Skin

— July 2, 2012 — Art & Design
This super easy do-it-yourself project from the Petit Elephant blog is a great way to deep cleanse your pores. Instead of paying close to twenty dollars for store-bought strips, you can make your own with ingredients found in the kitchen.

All you will need is some unflavored gelatin, measuring spoons, milk, disposable containers, and a popsicle stick (or an old makeup brush). You simply mix the gelatin powder in with the milk, and then microwave it for 10-15 seconds. Once heated, you are ready to slather it all over your face. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then gently peel off anything clogging your pores!

Beauty regimens at the salon can be extremely expensive, and for those with tight budgets, projects like this are a great way to save some money and keep skin looking its best.
Trend Themes
1. DIY Skincare - The trend of DIY skincare has become increasingly popular as consumers look for affordable and accessible ways to keep their skin looking its best.
2. Natural Beauty Ingredients - The trend of using natural ingredients found in the kitchen for skincare purposes has disrupted the beauty industry by providing affordable and accessible alternatives to expensive store-bought products.
3. At-home Beauty Solutions - The trend of at-home beauty solutions has disrupted the beauty industry by empowering consumers with the tools and knowledge to take control of their own beauty regimens and save money in the process.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty Industry - The beauty industry should consider incorporating more natural and affordable DIY products into their offerings to meet the growing demand of cost-savvy consumers.
2. Consumer Goods Industry - The consumer goods industry should consider investing in and promoting DIY products as a disruptive innovation opportunity to provide affordable and accessible solutions to consumers.
3. Retail Industry - The retail industry should consider offering more DIY skincare products and highlighting their affordability and accessibility to attract cost-savvy consumers and disrupt the beauty market.
