She Removes Blackheads With... Elmer's Glue?

Monai McCullough's rainbow-coloredAfrowas practically screaming at us during a recent romp in Midtown. TheHousing Worksretail associate relies on the tried-and-trueWen Cleansing Conditioner, as well as an olive oil leave-in treatment to keep her mane healthy. She gets her glowy skin by adding sugar to store-boughtface scrubfor a "little extra exfoliation." (Smart girl!) But it was McCullough's unconventional method ofextracting blackheadsthat gave us pause.

"I useElmer's glueto remove blackheads. It's a little extreme but it really works," McCullough told us. "Just put the glue on your T-zone, around your nose or where you noticeblackheads, let it dry and then peel it off and wash your face."

Editor disclaimer:While this extreme form of exfoliation works for this beauty, this writer wouldn't recommend trying this at home. We've had great success with deep-pore cleansing strips.
