"I used to pick at my face with reckless abandon — especially when it came to blackheads. In high school and college, I was convinced that anyone who said popping a pimple would only make it worst was just not good at it. (I can't believe I'm saying that now.) I had this trusty little tool that I had gotten from Amazon — one that only professionals should be yielding — to help me get the job done. I would sit in front of my magnified mirror for 30 minutes attempting to remove blackheads from my T-zone area and causing far more damage than good. By the time I was finished my face would be covered in red marks. I shudder now thinking about it. Since then, I've learned my lesson and am good at not ever touching my skin but I have to admit, I still have the tool buried somewhere in my beauty cabinet — I can't bring myself to throw it away." — Jessica Harrington, associate beauty editor
