to not throw away a blackhead cleaning strip thing.

[threeineachlobe]

I am FASCINATED by it.

Its got loads of little bits of my face on it. I can't stop looking at it. That's not weird at all, is it.

threeineachlobe I think you are on to something there! I can just see Not On The High Street selling little engraved pewter tins for the products of squeezing, plucking etc. I could keep those really long, coiled ingrown hairs that I have to dig out with a pin in one, or my especially big and satisfying tonsil stones. Oh! Oh! And the waxy cheese that I can squeeze out of my ear piercings when I haven't worn earrings for ages!

Riffy - if that hadn't made me feel a little bleugh it'd be genius.

I know I started all this, but waxy cheese??

Ooh KatoPotato just saw your Mexican wave idea . Inspired.

luffs my new soul sisters. Manky are we!

Off to google dry gangrene. sigh.

Ohhh another fan of spot and blackhead squeezing here it's my fave when hubbs was much younger he had the most greasy skin ever loads of blackheads . He used to let me get them out and I can remember it now makes my mouth water. Vikram is the king onyou tube have you sen the eyelid blackheads corrr.....

I have to thank my DP for the most amazing pore strip results. The first time he allowed me to strip his nose pores.... Oh my goodness. I had a little forest of dense spikes on the strip. It was incredible. Like nothing I had ever seen before. I kept it for ages and would look at it in different lights and brush by fingers against the array of spikes . He was pretty intrigued too. Now I do it at 3-6 months intervals and we both eagerly await the results. My pores just don't produce the same excitement levels... Shame.

I also look at other blokes noses' and wonder about what might be harvested from them with a Biore strip...

Yes, gone too far now ... might possibly need help....

Aaaaaaaagh! Aaaaaaaagh! I just googled Dry Gangrene. WTF? Aaaaaaaaaaagh!

am off to look at dry gangrene but think i have already seen it in a patient when i was a student nurse it was just black and shrivelled no it was his toe nothing else off to have a look to see if it is that

yes as I though it was that well we found his toe n the bed when we bed bathed him lovely old bloke bless him he had to have his leg amputated in the end .....

Thanks for reminding me to buy some Haven't done one in years! I just pick at DP instead

I even have two comedone extractors

Am going to google dry gangrene. Am I going to be sick? Verdict soon...

WTF, that is seriously grim

thebody - a friend of mine found a few years ago. It's totally gross & fascinating at the same time.

Not for the faint-hearted!!!

Fluffy should I even bother asking how you find faecal pus filled bits on people's lower extremities? Do people crap on their feet?

I love the Biore strips. I have the chin ones too

Love seeing the results, and it's a bonus if I find a dark one.

I want to know about make it at home blackhead strips. I live in Malaysia and I don't think I've ever seen them here.
Strangely, me and DD were talking about skin care this morning. she wants a face pack when she gets home from school.
I had a sudden flashback to a craze at school. Get some honey, spread it thinly on your dry face, leave it for five minutes or so then put your hands over the area and pull back.
It removes all the yuck. The only drawback is missing the forest of sebum.

Right, Google is my friend. It seems gelatin and milk are what we need to buy later on. The lack of microwave can be overcome with a saucepan and gas!

Biore ones are amazing- do people get them in the £ shop then? Got mine from boots but if I can get them cheaper....

I have ordered one of the scraper tools and will get strips today. I don't think I even have any blackheads!
