Pros:

Cheap - one roll lasts ages
Easily obtained
Effective

Cons:

You need to be really gentle to avoid damaging healthy skin
Can leave skin underneath a bit pink & tender if you remove too much skin.
If you are not gentle enough, you can make it worse and end up with a scab.

This is an essential item in my makeup bag - I wouldn't be without it! I hate how dead skin absorbs makeup so I always make sure to lift any dry bits up with tape. I use insulation tape (my personal favourite) - it's not overly sticky which is very important! I do not recommend ordinary Scotch/Sello tape - much too sticky and you might damage your skin.

Pros:

removed dead skin caused from the drying effects of products

Cons:

doesn't remove blackheads, duh!

I only use packing tape to remove the scaly dead skin off, since most skin products are very drying. Works pretty well for that. I don't know why people try using it for blackheads though!
