Chrissy Teigen Shares Her Strange Blackhead Removal Routine

There are few things in life as satisfying as removing a pore strip and seeing all the gunk you’ve just removed from your face. But model Chrissy Teigen, who’s known for keeping it (hilariously) real on social media, took pore strip removal satisfaction to a whole new level on Instagram recently.

In a series of Instagram Stories, Chrissy detailed her love for Bioré Deep Cleansing Pore Strips and her unusual routine for ripping out those pesky bits of dirt from her face.

"I like to pull these off, slowly, and then tilt them towards the light so I can see each little mountain, each tiny mountain. And then I like to take my finger and brush the blackheads to the side so I can see their length," she said.

She even revealed that she has a specific routine for how she rips them off! "I take the strip and I fold it into quarters," she said. "That concludes my story, entitled, 'If Hannibal Lecter Loved Bioré Nose Strips.' Thank you.”

Once again, Chrissy Teigen proves to be the most relatable celebrity on social media. As bizarre as this routine is, we also can’t deny that it sounds ridiculously satisfying.

I'm guilty of this too haha. Its extremely satisfying to see those solid little lumps stuck to that paper and those clean little holes left on your nose. I'm trying 10-0-1 Volcanic Clay Nose, Chin and Forehead strips at the moment and they are not anywhere near as effective as the Biore ones. I won't try them again. Next purchase will definitely be the Biore Charcoal strips. So long suckers!

Omg same, I have been using the Biore charcoal pure strips and I am intrigued what I see when I take the strip off on the strip itself.

I have huge pores, but these strips never work for me, I can never see anything on the strip afterwards!

There you go - another way of doing a very painful job.

I do exactly that too. I touch them once their on the strip to see how long they are! I look at it sideways. I love it

I better try these blackheads strips, used to use something similar years ago and it did wonders before a night out.

I shamefully do the same. Remove the strip, make it catch the light so I can see exactly what it has removed. It's pretty gross but oh-so-satisfying!!
