Pore Vacuum Review – This Thing Sucks!

This thing sucks!

But I mean that in the BEST possible way.

Monday I posted about the top 10 beauty trends in 2021 and one of those trends was upping our skincare game. That’s been a theme for me this month as I’ve gotten more serious about the products I use and how consistent I am with them.

One problem I’ve been noticing with my skin, even with good skincare practices, is clogged pores. Even using a good cleanser that’s made for cleaning pores, they were still there and I still didn’t like the looks of them.

That’s where this little gadget comes in. It’s called a Blackhead Pore Vaccum Cleaner, and I kid you not, it is like a vacuum for your face. You can find the device here.

Pore Vaccum

This handy little contraption comes with 5 interchangeable heads, extra O-Rings and filters, is rechargeable, and has 5 different levels of suction that you can try to get the best results for your skin.

Each of the interchangeable heads is designed for different skin conditions (normal skin, combination skin, dry skin, acne, etc.). And as a bonus, they came with 4 other skincare tools to help you get more stubborn acne and blackheads.

To use the device, remove any makeup and wash your face like normal. Use a warm towel or facial steamer over your face for a few minutes to really open up your pores (this step is completely optional, I didn’t do this the first time I used it and was still very happy with my results). Turn the machine on starting with the lowest suction level and increase as needed while moving the machine over the surface of the skin. When you’re done, splash some cold water on your face to close up those pores, clean the removable head, and voila, you’re done!

The first time I used this I was pretty amazed and grossed out at the same time. Amazed because it worked so well, grossed out by seeing all of the gunk it pulled out of my pores. After using it my skin felt smoother and the appearance of my pores was decreased.

I definitely recommend this product if you’re dealing with clogged pores, blackheads, or just want to uplevel your skincare game. I know I’m going to be continuing to use mine!

Happy Crafting!

This Apple Tart Soap is such a sweet little soap-making project, and I love how it turns a simple melt and pour soap base into something that looks almost good enough to eat. The idea of using clear glycerin soap with apple pie fragrance oil, cinnamon, and a whipped white soap topping gives this project a warm, cozy dessert-inspired feel without making it overly complicated.

What makes this project especially appealing is how beginner-friendly it is. Melt and pour soap is one of the easiest ways to get started with handmade soap, and this recipe keeps the ingredient list short while still creating a finished soap that feels fun and gift-worthy. The whipped topping detail is a clever touch because it instantly makes the soap look more like a tiny apple tart or bakery-style treat.

I also really like the packaging potential for this project. These soaps would look beautiful wrapped in clear cello, brown kraft paper, or a small handmade gift box. Adding dried apple rounds, a cinnamon stick, twine, or a rustic gift tag would make them perfect for fall gifts, teacher presents, craft stalls, Christmas hampers, or homemade bath and body gift baskets.

Because the soap uses cinnamon and fragrance oil, I would treat this as more of a novelty hand soap or decorative gift soap rather than something for very sensitive skin. As with all handmade bath and body projects, it is a good idea to use skin-safe fragrance oils and soap-safe colorants where possible.

Overall, this is a charming little melt and pour soap project with lots of handmade gift appeal. It is simple enough for beginners, pretty enough for gifting, and has that cozy apple pie scent that makes it especially lovely for autumn, holiday markets, and homemade Christmas gifts.
