DIY blackhead strips?

[000]

I have goddamn blackheads, and squeezing them out is time consuming, kinda gross, and bad for your skin. So I went to walgreens to buy some strips, since I used one once and it was amazing, and they were crazy expensive, like 10 bucks for 6 of them.

How could I make my own? I doubt I can just use duct tape or whatever...I tried that before and it didn't really work at all. I found this site http://www.stretcher.com/stories/03/03may12b.cfm , but the ideas there are pretty dumb.

Any ideas anyone?

I found their home remedy to work really well. Mix some vics vaporub with some methylated spirits. First wet ur face and rub milo into it. Then clean it off with the vaporub and methylated spirits. It opens ur pores and pops the blackheads from the inside. If u dont have vics vaporub u can use axe oil, the chinese oil with menthol.

Heres what the pro's do take a small vacuum pump attach a hose from it to the lid of a jar then another hose through the lid to the bottom (like a water pipe)
Then on the hose that goes to bottom will have suction on the end put a glass eye dropper. put some H2O in the jar turn on pump push the eye dropper lightly & strait on over a BH and sucks it all out ALL out. And the BH ends up in the water for a high protein drink.

They actually make something like that. It's a blue thing that looks like a vibrator (and works as one, too ).

OP, I'm running late and need to get to class, but there's a recipe that uses jello as a face mask. Google it and see what you can find.

You...disgust me...

Yeah, I've seen those vacuum things. But they can rupture blood vessels potentially, and I've heard they don't work that well. Squeezing is ok, but time consuming, and also not really good for your skin. I know about a great masque actually, but I don't want to smear crap on my face, I just like the idea of a strip.
