Hmm First of all, can I just say OW!

Second... I am very disappointed. I wanted to suck out some major gunk, and barely got a scrape of skin. Used it after a shower, applied as much pressure as I could bare and nothing!

Any tips? I'm sat here now looking like an alcoholic reindeer, it's not a good look. :(

Do you mean the metal ones, with a hole at the end? I had one from The Body Shop, years ago, and found it rubbish. Using fingers was far more successful (and satisfying).

Have you tried your ears?
My chin and forehead are very productive. Cheeks and nose, not so. Ears = sporn.

Like in this ??

Hot flannel on your face then use your fingers wrapped in tissue - works every time.

BunnyLebowski · 13/07/2012 12:57

Glaikit Can I kiss you???

I've just watched that video 4 times in a row Grin

OP - Valium is bang on. Especially with the tissue bit.

valiumredhead · 13/07/2012 13:00

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!! That video Shock

Those people cannot have had a good wash for YEARS, it took so little pressure for them to pop. One good scrub with a hot flannel would've sorted them out.

Oh dear God - I don't know wether to laugh or throw up!

Glaikit · 13/07/2012 13:01

It a doozie isn't it! Oh the joy!

booksandchoc · 13/07/2012 13:04

BunnyLebowski · 13/07/2012 13:06

Seriously. CANNOT. Stop. Watching. It.

My mouth is watering. I can't tell if I'm salivating with pleasure or as a build-up to vomiting Envy Grin

Dillydollydaydream · 13/07/2012 13:07

Omg Envy as in ewwwww!

MrsRogerSterling · 13/07/2012 13:09

Eeew, feel sick after watching that video. I a tweezerman blackhead/whitehead extractor and it good. Does leave me looking very red after using it so only use it before bed.

shrimponastick · 13/07/2012 13:17

O.M.G.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 Shock

that has just put me right off lunch!!!!!

Will have to watch some more now though.. :)

ChippyMinton · 13/07/2012 13:20

Ugh, watch the first 2 seconds and had to close the window. Now I like a good blackhead (and my tweezerman) but that is HARDCORE Shock

StealthPolarBear · 13/07/2012 13:21

Urgh that video was vile . How can he have lived with them for so long, without wondering what would happen is he squeezed one a bit?

fragola · 13/07/2012 13:21

Wow, feeling quite ill after watching that video. I'm going to wash my eyes.

valiumredhead · 13/07/2012 13:30

Wish I'd given my egg sandwich a miss now...

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 13/07/2012 13:39

Bloody love that link, good find Fizz

squoosh · 13/07/2012 13:52

Was that a nose? It was a quivering, rippling puddle of filth!

Why do I even peek at these things???

Fluffycloudland77 · 13/07/2012 17:28

BunnyLebowski · 13/07/2012 17:37

Oh Fluffy That looks SO satisfying Grin

Is it bad that I was holding my hand up towards the monitor and 'tweezing' as if I was doing that myself while grinning like a loon??

arfur · 13/07/2012 17:38
cocolepew · 13/07/2012 17:41

I use tweezers. Very satisfying.

bronze · 13/07/2012 17:43

How does no one get blackheads that big?
I dont think I've ever had one big enough to squeeze

Catsmamma · 13/07/2012 17:52

oooh that gob of wax was like a bit of gravel!!

and the blackheads...that one at 1.46....all spirally!

Both beautifully in focus too for the main part! ...I forgive the earwax folks their typo for their depth of focus and lighting!

StealthPolarBear · 13/07/2012 17:57

lol I noticed the typo too, still had my mouth hanging open from the size of the thing
