Zits, pores, extraction: A gross world, videotaped

FYI: The video above is gross, if you don’t like gross stuff then don’t watch it.

An “extractor” is the name for the metal tool you can use to poke and extract blackheads. Used sparingly, in the right way, it can remove excess oils and keratin from your face without pushing the oil and bacteria back into your tissues. Used excessively, it can lead you to a life where you go around finding gigantic pimples on other people and squeezing them just to see the goop ooze out.
