I can’t help squeezing blackheads! They are so gross looking–especially in certain lighting. Most people have blackheads on their noses, and I’m sure some of you have done this before: If you ever have to squeeze blackheads, make sure you use Kleenex!
Of course, I think you’re not supposed to do this at all because most people do it incorrectly— but I think if your blackhead is nice & juicy (gross I know) then you can pop it out using an extractor.

Do you use a blackhead extractor? Would you try this product?

I just use the biore blackhead pore strips. sure, taking them off hurts like hell sometimes, but it gets it all out. i've never used a blackhead extractor like in the picture, though.
i've used an extractor before, it left a scar. I assume i did it wrong, but idk.
I lost it, though, so now I definitely cant use it.
I prefer the Biore strips over extracting, unless it's somewhere other than where I can apply the strips easily.
i have a blackhead extractor. i don't really use it much since i feel so much more dexterous using my hands. plus i use biore pore strips.
I've used them before and it was much too difficult to use. It never got everything out, either. If I pick my face, I wait until before I take a shower so I can wash all the crap off and then use my skin products.
I used biore pore strips before and it didn;t work. haha maybe I did it work >.< or something. I also have the bleak head extractor it works but it hurts
ive tried some sorta strips dont remember the name but yeah never got everything and hurt =/ also never heard of the extractor O.o ill have to try it, i use my hands but ill have to remember to use kleenex =P
I use the biore strips too. But I still have a lot left after that...why me. Well. I whip out a pair of tweezers...squeeze, then pluck it out (much faster). It may be gross but I'm doing myself a favor.
biore pore strips :P
honestly, are blackheads pimples or something? I really know nothing about skin care other than daily washing it and lotion. haha
I use my hands and tissues. It's cheaper and easier. How can you do that incorrectly?
when i used the biore strips, the next day i broke out on my nose with a couple big pimples :( i'm scared to use them ever again.
so i stick to my hands and tissue.
biore pore strips
I picked at mine. Yeah it's gross. But it's gone and no scar. I got lucky.
supposedly...you can try putting white toothpaste on your blackheads...at first its like really cool feel on your skin then you wait till that "cool" feel is gone...wash it away...then its all gone or most of it is gone....don't do this too often....
i read this on this chinese forum...i haven't tried it before...and it HAS to be WHITE paste...not gel...
Yes. I have a built in blackhead extractor. Its called my fingernails.
@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - lol
That thing looks scary! How does it work? Does it hurt?
Does anyone ever stare at someone's face, and you feel the urge to get rid of their blackheads? Or is it just me?
@I_am_Sango@xanga - i'm with you on that.
i'm so scared that squeezing will leave a scar or make it worse. squeezing whatever i don't like on my face is probably not the best idea.
It sounds so... mechanic.
i'd totally use that! the strips don't really work that well for me =/
My dermatologist told me that I shouldn't pick at them. They irritate the skin and push more bacteria in, possibly causing acne.
But then again, she never told me what would happen if I used an extractor. I went to a salon once where they got rid of my blackheads using one. It hurt like hell, but the outcome was definitely worth it. The problem: blackheads came back a month later. I tried using an extractor myself, but I ended up getting a scar. =P
my boyfriend has a lot near his ear/neck area and back, so whenever he's over at my place, he would watch a movie while i get rid of them ): it's disgusting, but i can't help it T_____T !!
HAHA! I use one of those in sculpting!
i have one but i don't use it too much.
Biore strips don't seem to work that well for me.
@the_world_is_on_fire@xanga - That's what I was thinking too!
