Sephora has kicked off their HOT NOW campaign, which is a collection of their handpicked most desirable beauty finds.  This year, Japan's preservative-free, botanically-based skin care line Boscia's Pore Purifying Black Strips made the list of the must haves.  Think Biore strips meets hollywood...

The Pore Purifying Black Strips are said to instantly absorb dirt and oil which clogs pores.  Due to the active charcoal in the strips it also reduces the appearance of blackheads thus clarifying the skin and leaving you with a healthy glow.   What I love the most about this over other OTC dupes is all of the wonderful, natural yummies in it to treat oilier skin.

While this reduces the appearance of blackheads and congestion from around the nose, it is equally important to make exfoliation a part of your weekly routine.  Blackheads can form anywhere on your body where there is oil and dirt build up.  So where to find you ask?  Boscia Pore Purifying Black strips can be found exclusively in Sephora as well as their company site www.bosciaskincare.com.  Keep in mind these strips carry a heavier price tag than you local drug store dupes, however I think the reviews on Sephora.com speak for itself!

Below is a list of a few of the ingredients that pack a powerful punch:

  • Charcoal which draws out impurities and aids in detoxification
  • Silica which helps control excess oil
  • Witch Hazel Extract which is a natural astringent
  • Jojoba which is an antioxidant
  • Willowherb which calms skin inflammation, reduces redness and irritation
