Blackheads

Mega Skincare Tip

Use “Blackhead Melting” with this cream for maximum
impact.

Smooth the microdermabrasion product onto your face,
and then heat the cream for 60-120 seconds with a blow
dryer. The heat helps melt oil clogged pores. Remove the
cream with a warm wash cloth. (Note: Make sure it is OK to heat your product first.)
