you already have.

crumbling, pop the pencil into the freezer for 15 minutes before applying.

makeshift pore strip. Just like when you peeled it off your hands
as a kid, spray thin layer on your face, let it dry, and peel off. Keep well

the pace for gel on a problem spots overnight. Add a band-aid to keep it in

foot cream. (Just be sure to put on socks if you use it as a foot cream, so
you don't muck up your sheets).

puffiness.
