Now, before you run to Boots to stock up on dental floss, you should know that this technique is not recommended nor ideal for every skin type - we all know we're not supposed to pop zits at the risk of accidentally scarring the skin, needless to say running dental floss down your nose is also a no-no.

But if you're interested on the DIY Sukhi used, these are the steps:

  • Prep your skin by cleansing it

  • Dampen a cloth with warm water and place it over your nose to open pores

  • Press a floss pick against your nose and slowly run it down

  • Use a toner to cleanse it again once done
