Things They Should Invent: a more effective way to remove blackheads

We've all seen those Bioré nose strips, where you stick them to your nose and wait a bit, then rip them off and they rip all the blackheads out. They're very effective (although not permanent) for the nose, but even the "face" versions are difficult to use on other parts of the face and body. Blackheads appear in all kinds of strange places, like the crease of the chin, or the divet under the nose, that these strips just won't get at properly.

So what they need is something along the lines of the Nair wax that forms its own strip. You just apply some kind of goop to areas that have blackheads, wait for it to harden, then peel it off all in one piece, and it will take the blackheads with it. It could come with a bottle with various types of applicator nozzles, from a tiny pen for doing the crease of your chin, to a big fan-like thing for if you want to do, say, your entire back.

It's disgusting what you wrote. Do you have a boyfriend? Does he read that? Ewww!

Don't worry, he already knows about blackheads - he's been known to get them too :)

anonymous...I don't know how old you are. Maybe you are really young...maybe you are really old and don't remember what a blackhead is. Or maybe you don't do anything - especially exercise!!- where you sweat a lot every day and pores get clogged. Even teenagers get them...elderly get them...SO...this idea is a good idea.

And what does the question, "Do you have a boyfriend?" have to do with anything? Does a clogged pore mean that she is not entitled to have a boyfriend?
