Spots seriously suck ā and unfortunately we just canāt stop messing with them when one erupts on our skin.
Blackheads are the worst of all and itās likely that if youāve had one, youāve tried to remove it.
TikTok hosts a wealth of skincare hacks and tips and āhow to get rid of blackheads at homeā is a popular video topic on the platform.
However, one skin expert is now warning against using TikTokās latest viral blackhead removal process after a video featuring DIY nose strips hit a whopping 14.1 million views.
In the video, TikTok user Armen Adamjan (@creative_explained) shows a skincare hack of creating your own pore strips using egg whites and layers of tissue paper (gross, we know).
Adamjan cracks an egg into a bowl, removes the yolk and brushes the egg white over his nose, before applying tissue paper. He repeats this process over and over before leaving the āblackhead removing stripā to set and go hard for ten to fifteen minutes.
When he peels it off it appears to be jam-packed with blackheads ā but is the hack really all that it seems?
Whilst the results may look satisfying, skincare expert and founder of Bedew Skin, Rachael Robertson says itās not all itās cracked up to be.
