That black face mask that pulls out all blackheads....

[Chocolateteabag]

Keep seeing it in fb and instagram

Has anyone actually tried it who wasn't paid to does it work & is it as painful as it looks to get off?

My SILs were due to try it over the weekend. I'll ask them.

Ohh keep us posted my nose is yuck

Let us know! I love pore strips and am so tempted by the mask

My DD3 (18) has. She says you can see all the little nibs from your pores stuck in it when you pull it off. Bit like the pore strips you can buy.

She says it's not as bad as waxing - it's more like slowly pulling sellotape off yourself. But hey - no pain no gain

Yes I have tried it. No I don't get paid.
Been using it for several months.
It's really, really painful.
I do mine one a month.
I am a wimp beucase it's painful.
The benefits - it pulls all the gunk from your face.
It also pulls hairs from your face. So if you have a tash do a mask and a wax at the same time. Could be why it's painful.
Skin is visibly smoother and cleaner. Also feels really soft. Could be cos all your hairs have been ripped out.
It's really thick and does look like a gimp mask. So if into bdsm it's a win/win.

Negatives - it's painful for a mask. Nothing like the peel offs from boots etc that just peel easily off. A lot of videos show it coming off in one piece. It doesn't. In places it can be really hard to pull off. So have wipes to wipe off the excess.
Did I mention the pain. Honestly it feels like your face is being ripped off.

Would I use it again? I do. Get mine from amazon for pennies really.

Yes, I've tried it, yes it works, yes, it bloody well kills.

I tried it. I cried pulling it off and threw it straight in the bin afterwards (I was pregnant in my defence!)
Nothing even came out anyway

Don't know if this link will work but it's worth a watch if it does!!

But if it pulls the hairs off do they not grow back stronger - so then you are into a cycle of having to do this or wax your face forever when they grow back!? I'm wary of it as my grandmother shaved back in the 40's - now at 96 when she can't manage it any more she basically has a beard! I would love to try the pore cleanse thing though.

How does it damage pores

I tried it & it was very painful to pull off my cheeks so if i did it again i wouldn't out it on my cheeks. It didn't pull much out of my pores. Maybe i should have left it another few minutes as i think it could have been drier.

I wanted to try it but wimped put, have since been off by reading that it can damage your pores. Something about the pulling stretching them and then they become enlarged.

I have been using glycolic acid toner and its cleared up my nose without any pain.

Mine haven't grown back. Not sure if that's a pro or negative.
It has to be dry like any other face mask.

Sounds amazing. Anyone got a link?

Whats it called??

I do it to remove sebaceous filmanets (the white sebum inside your pores). A lot of people tell me it doesn't work for blackheads, but equally, people often mistake sebaceous filmanents for blackheads. I did for years.

I brought the jorgobe one. Really good, hurt like hell to get off. But really good!

Oh, I bought this one:

Waiting for it to wing it's way over from S Korea...

I only use it on my nose and DDs nose and to be honest it doesn't work at all. We both have blackheads and nothing ever comes out. Not satisfying at all. Waste of money. Didn't find it hurt that bad to be honest but maybe the nose is a bit less sensitive than cheeks.

Don't bother IMHO.

That video was brilliant 😂

Why would anyone want to remove a healthy part of the skin? It sounds harmful, the vids are fun to watch but nobody needs that level of harsh treatment to the skin.

DDIL bought it for DS1 and it worked on his nose. But she bought a really expensive one from Japan, not a cheap knock off.
(And it also pulled out all of the tiny hairs and tears sprang from his eyes.)

I've got some. It takes a REALLY long time to dry, and it gets everywhere, so messy. It doesn't seem to pull much out and it hurts.
