how do I tell my GF to use pore strips without hurting her feelings?

Answer 1

have a beauty night with her. get some wash out hair dye and both of you can color your hair.... get a face mask, pore strips and both of you do it together. that way it wil be fun and she won't take it personal.

Answer 2

The most subtle way there is :
Buy some for yourself and use them from time to time with her noticing it. If she asks about it, tell her that it does wonders for your skin and that she should try it, just for fun! "Oh, you would look so cute with these strips on your nose" *g*

Other ways are :
Just tell her that she has some blocked pores and that pore-strips would do wonders.

Buy her some pore-strips and maybe some other beauty stuff and just make it look like a nice present. If she has them handy, she will probably use them.

tell her you noticed some blocked pores in her face and that you would like it if she used pore-strips, because you get the urge to press them out if you see her up close.

Mostly it is a good way to include humor and fun in your request, make her laugh and make it clear that you would not really care either way, but that you think it would be better for her health.

Answer 3

Go to the store together and act like you're interested in the Biore' Pore Strips (they're the best ones. Ponds didn't do so well). Tell her that you think you have blackheads and need them. Have her give you a facial using the pore strips and then offer to do hers. Do yours first. When she sees how much stuff is on your pore strip act like "ewwww, yuck, lets see how many blackheads comes off your strip". That way you're not outwardly telling her that she needs them. Hope that helps.

If that fails, try to act like you never seen them there before and comment on them. Tell her that you or a friend had the same problem and that Biore is what they used to get rid of them.

Answer 4

There's absolutely no way to tell someone there is some aspect of them you don't like without hurting feelings. Buy her a spa day as a gift maybe, and include a facial? The results are much better than pore strips.

Answer 5

If her blackheads bother you that much, treat her to an at home facial and spa date. You provide all of the products to pamper her and apply the pore strips during the facial process. She'll be relaxed and she may even decide to do some of the things herself for maintenance.

Answer 6

You could put together a pack of beauty things such as face masks, eye mask (to reduce puffiness), nail polish, bubble bath, just things that you get to treat yourself and make yourself feel better and relax...you could also get double of the face mask/pore strips and do it with her...

i don't know you so who is to say you don't already use them or need them but most guys need the pore strips than girls do...

try and make it about you wanting her to relax instead of saying she has nasty clogged pores and needs to unclog them.

Answer 7

Just tell her that you have noticed that she has some
plugged pores and ask her if she has ever tried pore strips..
Then offer to get her some...

Answer 8

Honey, I dont want to hurt your feelings, but you need pore strips! Easy as that!

Answer 9

Stick one on her face while she's asleep - erm... stick one on your face too (that way she'll think someone else did it) - then she'll pull it off - you can go yeeeuuh and then she'll see the errors of her ways - use pore strips for ever more and live happily ever after?

Answer 10

not a good idea to tell her but if you must...

Get a basket and put a whole bunch of different stuff in there like

1. a loofa
2. expensive body wash
3. expensive perfume
4. expensive lotion
5. The pore strips
6. hand soap
7. nail polish

Go to bath and body works to find these things and tell here you just wanted to be sweet and that she deserved all these things
