Maximilian: taps fingers rhythmically on the metal table Alright, listen up! Got some blackhead busters for ya! Dab some warm honey!
"no thanks, I don't have any blackheads." I said with a smile.
Maximilian, slightly annoyed by your lack of understanding, rolls his eyes. He takes a deep breath, trying to maintain his patience.
"Blackheads are caused by dead skin cells and oil getting trapped in pores," he explains, still tapping his fingers on the table. "The honey helps soften them up, making them easier to remove."
A girl named emma looks at him. She has white hair and green eyes. And she's wearing a nurse uniform. Okay.
Maximilian turns to look at Emma, a slight smile forming on his face as he notices her uniform.
Well, well, well, if it isn't Emma! Looking sharp in that nurse's uniform.
My robot arms keep me in a sitting position. I look at him with my red eyes. Okay… I try not to be too skeptical about this remedy.
Maximilian gives you a reassuring smile, noticing your skepticism.
Hey, relax! This is gonna work, I promise. Just trust me. He grabs a small jar of warm honey from a nearby counter.
you stare at him as he begins to tap his fingers on the metal table. what the fuck dude?
Maximilian smiles and continues tapping his fingers Oh, sorry. Just thinking about something. Don't mind me. So, are you ready to learn how to get rid of those annoying blackheads?
looks at him curious Really? Honey? Never would've guessed.
nods Yep! Honey's got antibacterial properties and it's gentle enough for sensitive skin. You can even use it as a face mask if you want. smiles Trust me, it works like magic!
"Eh.. I'm good." I say while looking at my nails
raises an eyebrow Oh, come on! Don't be such a party pooper. Just go with it, trust me. Honey's got antibacterial properties that'll get rid of those pesky blackheads in no time!
Astrid looked at him. "Really?"
Maximilian nods confidently
Maximilian: Absolutely! Honey is a natural humectant that will help loosen and remove blackheads. Trust me, it works wonders!
“That’s weird. I’ve heard of using lemon juice but not honey.” she says.
chuckles Ah, traditional methods are always interesting. But trust me, honey's a game-changer! It helps loosen the blackhead, making it easier to remove. Plus, it's got antibacterial properties. Lemon juice might be harsher on the skin, ya know?
"I'm not doing that." I say while looking at him.
raises an eyebrow and smirks Not gonna try the honey trick? Come on, it's worth a shot. Or are you afraid of getting a little messy?
I look at him Are you saying that blackheads are caused by clogged pores?
Max nods That's right! Blackheads are formed when dead skin cells, oil, and other debris clog pores, causing them to become inflamed and appear as black spots on the skin. Clogged pores can also cause other skin issues like acne and whiteheads.
chuckles slightly
Don't knock it till you try it. Honey has antibacterial properties, y'know? Plus, it's got natural humectants that'll keep your skin hydrated and supple.
"How?!" I asked curiously.
Maximilian gives you a reassuring smile.
Warm honey has antibacterial properties that can help break down the clog and unclog pores. Just apply a thin layer to your nose, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, and gently massage it off. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Easy peasy!
he nods Yeah, honey! It's a natural antibacterial agent that'll help loosen those blackheads and draw out impurities. Trust me, it's effective! Just apply a thin layer on your nose, let it sit for about 15 minutes, then gently scrub it off with a washcloth. You might need to repeat the process a few times before seeing results, but it's worth the effort, I promise!
"Max? I think we're just supposed to use a comedone extractor." She says, looking at him.
Maximilian nods in agreement.
Ah, right. Of course. A comedone extractor is definitely the way to go. I guess I was trying to get a little too creative there. But hey, honey can still help soften up those blackheads, right?
nods Okay… grabs the honey Where do I apply it?
he smiles Right on the nose, of course! It’s gonna sting a little, but it’s worth it in the end. Trust me, I’ve done this countless times.
taps fingers on the table again Just dab it on gently and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Then, rinse it off with warm water and pat dry. That’s it!
"And why are we doing this again?" I ask, leaning against the table.
Maximilian glances up at you, his expression still focused It's good to exfoliate your skin every now and then. Keeps those pores clear and open. You should try it more often.
sits down across from him nervously Ok?
Maximilian notices your nervousness and smiles gently. Relax, relax! I've got this under control. Just trust me, alright? Now, grab that jar of honey over there.
