Staying beautiful isn't always pretty - the human body has some areas of maintenance that are, well, a bit icky. Ear wax. Belly Button fluff. Toe nail grime.
But you have to admit, sometimes there's a bit of satisfaction to be had from the more icky beauty chores. I quizzed my friends and family and here's what the grossest of the bunch confessed to enjoying.
1. A spot popping and hitting the mirror.
Second place in the pimple zone - a really long blackhead.
2. Digging out an ingrown hair that turns out to be realllllly long.
Even if there's blood, even if there's pain, that hair uncurling makes it worth it!
3. Filing your feet when they're dry and witnessing a cloud of foot dust.
Admit it - you've let your feet go an extra week just to make it really satisfying...
4. Cleaning your ears out and it turning...magical. Cough. Eargasm.
Even better is when you've been out of cotton buds for a few weeks and you really needed that clean.
5. Peeling off a nose strip and being greeted by a forest of long black heads.

My nose resembles the surface of a strawberry! The only time my pores have been 'vacuumed' is during a microdermabrasion. A very satisfying experience. Like everyone, I'm missing the beauty treatments due to lockdown! Would love the chance for a DIY at home.
