I admit, for a gal who refuses to wear foundation, I probably don't exfoliate my face nearly as much as I should—especially my nose, where my combination skin tends to get the most backed up. Every two months or so I'll spring for a facial to get things in order (to the tune of some very painful extractions—IYKYK), but I've been meaning to find an easy, quick and affordable solution I can use to clear my pores more frequently in between—and prevent them from getting so clogged in the first place. Enter: The Bioré Bubbling Nose Masks ($18; $17).

Chances are you're familiar with Bioré's pore cleansing strips, the go-to for folks hoping to banish blackheads for nearly 30 years. But the brand recently launched an innovative twist on the classic strips, and between the playful PR packaging (complete with a bubble machine) and unique formula, the new exfoliating masks have quickly gone viral across social media. Having received one of the sneak-peek mailers myself, I've been able to test the strips a few times over the past month—and I have to say, I was hooked from the first try.

After letting the enzymes and acids do their thing for about five minutes, you simply turn the mask over and start rubbing the textured side over your nose (don't forget those little nostril-side crannies!), which really starts to create a foamy lather. Lastly, you just rinse it all off. The entire process takes about seven minutes, total.
