Pore Vacuums — Are They worth The Hype?
Can you really trust Instagram for skincare advice?
A little background
I’m not going to lie. I’m a bit of a sucker for skincare. I wish I could say it was the fancy, professional kind, but no, I can’t afford that. So I go for the quick fix — the fads. I can’t help myself. I want to be ageless and flawless forever, please, but on a budget please. I’m a sucker for a pore strip, an at-home face mask, micro-needling, face, and body brushing, silicone pads. You name it, I’ve ordered it.
As a woman, I think the Instagram search/recommended page likes to show me a hell of a lot of make-up, hair, beauty, and fitness stuff. The feminist in me is annoyed, but the vain person is scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. It’s easy to get mesmerised by these miracle products that you know deep down are probably fake, but you wish pretty hard that they are not.
The pore vacuum
One that really caught my attention was the pore vacuum. What is that? Well, it’s basically a little vacuum for your face! You drag it across your skin, and it pulls the blackhead (dilated pores filled with oils and dead skin cells that have been oxidised and turned black) right out, all of it…
