The hardcore way to removing blackheads

Warning: Massive blackheads invasion!

I've been 'storing' these blackheads for 2 weeks or more because I feel super lazy and also I'm busy with MukoShop.

I haven't done any masks in a month. I guess I should really take good care of my skin like fuz! :D

I don't have flawless skin because of these suckers!
They never go away. Exfoliating my skin doesn't keep them away either.
The only way to clear them is to squeeze those suckers out!

Look at them! They are all popping out of my skin. EWWW.
You can click on the pics if you wish to disgust yourself further. lol.




My 4 steps hardcore way to removing blackheads consists of:

1) Using a nose cleansing strip
2) Steamer
3) Extracting them!
4) Clay mask to clean up the pores~



Always start with short clean nails that are filed so you won't scratch and hurt your skin.

Nose strips is never enough to make my skin clear.
I have tried many brands, like Biore, Kose, some charcoal based or clay based.
But the only brand that works best is SKINLITE!

I got it from SaSa, 3 packs of 6 strips for $10 SGD.


After cleansing my face and making sure its oil free.
I stick this on for about 15-20 minutes.



It doesn't extract and cleans my nose totally.
It cleans up those easy ones but the hardcore ones remains.

Yes, those hundreds on the strip is considered the EASY ones. lol.





After removing the strip off my nose, I proceed to steam my face, focusing on my T zone.

I bought this steamer from Watsons at $16.90 SGD. Good value!

This facial sauna is really good for opening up your pores.
It lets me squeeze the blackheads out with ease.

I let my face steam for 10 minutes and then rush to a place with great and strong lighting to squeeze them out!

After 15 minutes of extracting blackheads, here are the results!


And no, those are not from inside the nostrils although they look alike. Well afterall, they are from the same 'factory'. You know what I mean. lol.

It's actually the accumulation of blackheads!
I hear you go 'EWW;!'

I like to leave them on my hands so I can go disgust my family after that. ;D



After steaming and extracting, its red but it's clean.
Let it rest and give it some time...



And then I proceed to use Clinique's clay mask to make sure my pores are all clean and clogged free!




The end results~
Super clean and shiny nose! Say bye to those blackheads for the time being!

My 5 year old nephew, Keegan!
He's 5 and he's as heavy as me!

Can you believe it?
Believe it!


He looks all cute and tiny here. But wait till you see the whole picture!



I want his babysoft skin. lol.
And he needs to donate some of his fats to me.

He's always whining for more food every hour! -_-



Look at how tall he is!
I'm standing at 160cm and he's almost reaching my shoulder.

Monster! His arm is almost as big as my thigh. lol.



I don't know why I like posting crappy pics of myself these days. =
I look oily and sweaty and messy here. @_@



My nephew gets me flowers PLUCKED from the roadside on his way back home from school every now and then.

Keegan: Gugu! I got flowers for you! (Gugu : Auntie)
Me: OH Thank You!! Why do you always pluck flowers for me?
Keegan: I know Gugu likes flowers so I will always pluck them for you.

If only the BF is as sweet. He needs to learn from my nephew dammnit.
Yes, flowers wither and die but getting some once in a while is still nice and sweet!
T.T

BF camwhoring with my new camera.
I'm in my nightie.


I actually think the BF looks prettier than me.
I have always wanted to put makeup on him but he refused.

I'm sure he will look stunning with makeup and a wig!



I also caught Zeke blinking while snapping away at him!
Hahahah! I didn't know doggies have candid moments too!

Ahhh, that picture of the blackheads on your hand is gross!!! But your nose is super clean after. HOw long does it stay clean? I hate blackheads. No matter what I do, they always come back the next day, so I give up!

Hi^^
If you're not too busy, would you be able to share how the second step in your blackhead removing process works? (after the steaming)
I have the same problem as yours! I can remove the easy ones with a microfibre cloth or pore strips, but I've always left the stubborn ones still there cos I didn't know they could be removed too!
Thanks! xoxo
