Never have I ever been so fascinated yet scared of a gadget. When I first saw a video of a blackhead pore vacuum I was both intrigued and sort of disgusted. I’m all for trying out new beauty trends as long as they’re safe and easy to do. However, when it came to this peculiar blackhead removal method I was a bit sceptical. Turns out I’m not the only one who has second thoughts about this beauty gadget. As I was scrolling through Malini’s Girl Tribe I found out that many women were wondering whether or not to try out the blackhead pore vacuum. So I took matters into my own hands and after some hardcore research, I can conclude that this everything you should know before buying a blackhead pore vacuum:
How Does It Work?
If you’re having trouble fathoming how this device works them just imagine a mini handheld vacuum that’s meant just for the surface of your nose. Since most of these devices are handheld and battery operated, they start at the touch of a button. Once you’ve switched on the device, apply the nozzle to the surface your nose and just slide it along your skin gently. The blackhead pore vacuum sucks out any impurities present in your pores like excess sebum, blackheads, whiteheads and dead skin cells. You’ll be able to see all the gunk that was accumulated inside your pores. Hence it is disgusting yet oddly satisfying to use this device.
What Are The Pros?
The blackhead pore vacuum is famous for a reason, have a look at the skincare benefits you’d get after using this device:
- Say goodbye to congested skin, because this device will suck out all the gunk from your pores.
- Since your pores are clean from excess sebum and other impurities your skin will be less prone to breakouts.
- This device will also simultaneously exfoliate your skin since it will also remove dead skin cells from your skin.
What Are The Cons?
Too much of anything can be a bad thing and this phrase is perfectly applicable for blackhead pore vacuums. Before you make your decision about buying one, have a look at the cons of using this device:
- Using this device can be pretty addictive and you can overuse it. If you overuse this device it can cause bruising which can be very painful.
- In serious cases, when your skin goes through a lot of pressure because of excess suction, you can suffer from telangiectasia. It’s a condition that takes place when your superficial blood capillaries dilate and become very prominent. It can be very painful and it can take a few weeks to heal.
