My skin has always been really oily but over the past six months or so, I've noticed an influx in the amount of blackheads that I'm getting on my nose particularly and also across my chin and cheeks. I've tried various removal strips with varying levels of success but nothing has really done anything to tackle the problem. Rather than waste money on these products any more, I decided to take the plunge and buy this remover from the Body Shop. APPEARANCE I don't normally comment on the look of products but it seems relevant in this instance. When I first took the blackhead remover from the packaging, I was a bit flummoxed by it, to be honest. To sum its ...  Read the complete review

I read about a blackhead remover on Dooyoo a while back, and was intrigued by the concept, but thought no more of it until I was browsing in a Body Shop store and saw this one for sale. At only £3 I felt it was a bargain - even more so when I used my Body Shop card and got an extra 10% off. The product is a metal strip around 10cm long with the Body Shop brand name printed on it. It has one oval loop of metal at one end, and a larger loop at the other. It comes attached to a strip of plastic with the following instructions: "Before use, soften your skin and open pores with a warm flannel. Carefully position the end of the remover over the blackhead and ...  Read the complete review

We all know we shouldn't pick at spots but on the same token walking round with big blackheads and spots on the face are rather unsightly. Not so much a problem now but I had quite a few black heads as a teenager which led me to discover this little device by body shop. The black head buster simply does what you do when you use your two fingers to squeeze a spot but provides a more hygienic way of doing it with better precision. *Price and availability* You can buy these from the body shop store or online and are priced at £3.00. You can buy second hand ones from EBay but the thought of using someone else's spot squeezing tool is a little too much ...  Read the complete review

I have combinations skin and I hate it but have to work around it. One thing i dont want to work aound is blackheads! I have tried all the scrubs and strips but still dont have much luck. This metal tool cost me £3 from The Body Shop which i dont think is a bad price. When I first tried it I wasnt vey impressed because it hardly did anything apart from make my face go red and blotchy so I put it in a drawer and left it. I was recently in The Body Shop and hear an assistant advising another customer on how to use it. She told them to use a mask first or have a really good scrub then use it because the pores will be open. Light bulb! I dont know why I didnt ...  Read the complete review

I have quite strange skin, it can go from a combination to dry to oily to normal in weeks. So trying to find the right skin care routine can be difficult. However one of the things I have always suffered from is blackheads. You could easily do a dot to dot on my nose!! I have tried everything from scrubs, strips, pen tubes, baking soda, brown sugar paste and cleansers. Nothing worked they just stayed there stubborn as ever! I then heard of the Body Shop blackhead remover and thought well I might as well give it a shot. At about £2-3 I thought if this works it cheaper than buying the strips. It a pole with two hoops at either end one small one and ...  Read the complete review
