Grim simulation shows why blackheads return if you make one simple mistake after removing them

Squeezing blackheads: admit it, we've all done it.

Whether you enjoy it or not is another matter entirely, as the pimple popper video obsessives walk among us...

A new simulation goes into surprisingly gross detail about what happens when you decide to take matters into your own hands to clear your visage of any pesky filled pores.

Yes, yes, we all know you shouldn't squeeze spots, and experts advise to leave your skin well alone and to be gentle with it, but sometimes it's just too annoying especially if it's somewhere highly visible.

There's nothing worse and waking up to a spot or a giant blackhead on the end of your nose so that you rival Rudolph.

You might think twice before attacking it next time after watching this simulation though, as it shows why they keep coming back.

The simulation has been made by a creator called Mr Brain Boost, who is known for weird and wonderfully creative videos.

It features a man gouging out a blackhead, which leaves an open pore on his face.

"If you just removed a blackhead, don't stop there," the video advises.

"That open pore? It's not empty, there's still oil, bacteria and dead skin deep inside."

"Leave it like that and it'll just clog right back up" it continues.

"You need to wash your skin immediately, use something with salicylic acid to dissolve leftover oil, then apply a light non-comedogenic moisturiser to keep your skin balanced and seal the clean pore... Remove, clean, seal, that's how you stop blackheads from coming back."

Hands up who else just had to look up what 'non-comedogenic' meant? It means something that won't block your pores, you're welcome.

One viewer replied: "Whatever you do please don’t do this. I’m a skinoligist" which makes us think they might not be an actual dermatologist...

Another confessed: "Is it weird to wish you had bad skin just for the satisfaction of popping blackheads?"

A pimple popper fan added: "This video was a little bit too satisfying," while another made a gross suggestion: "I'm keeping the leftovers in there so I have another blackhead to squeeze a couple days later."

"What if you like removing blackheads?" demanded another commenter.

"Well this was gross while I was eating," added one unhappy viewer.

This person recommended: "Drink water too! Re-hydrates your skin and prevents dead skin cell build up."

Proof that it truly takes all sorts with this commenter here: "Weirdly, I love getting them! Rare though. Love popping them out! I never got acne as a kid. So I purposely try to infect them so I can get something!" (Needless to say, don't do that.)
