blackheads removal tips

Blackheads are those little black dots that clog up your pores 
which can happen to anyone, and can sometimes stubbornly linger 
long after your acne has cleared up. Blackhead removal can be a 
tempting endeavour, but is removing them really the best thing 
to do? Blackhead removal may be more trouble than it’s worth.

Blackheads can be more resistant to cleansers and topical 
treatments than pimples, making them infinitely more 
frustrating, and so much more tempting to remove. Blackhead 
removal can be a long and tedious affair, as unlike pimples, 
they can sometimes seem to inhabit every pore on your nose, 
chin and forehead, so before taking out that blackhead remover 
and getting started, consider whether going to the trouble of 
removing them is really worth it!

Blackheads removal is usually a two-step process:

1. Opening the pores and loosen blackheads.
2. Blackheads extraction.

Here are ways to loosen the blackheads: 

1. Steaming the Pores

Steaming can be done as often as twice a week but for no 
longer than 10 minutes at a time. This is a great way to clean 
out pores and loosen blackheads.

2. Combine 1/4 cup boiling water with one teaspoon of Epsom salt 
and three drops of iodine. Let mixture cool until it's 
comfortable to the touch. 

Saturate a cotton ball with this mixture and dab on blackheads. 
This will allow them to loosen so they can be easily squeezed with 
a gauze pad.

3. Combine equal parts baking soda and water in your hand and rub 
gently on your skin for 2 to 3 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
  
After loosening the blackheads, you can extract the blackheads 
easily. Here are ways to extract blackheads:

1. You can get a metal blackhead removal tool. It is usually 
available at the chemist's shop. It's long and narrow and has a 
hole in either end, one large and one small. You choose one end, 
center it over the blackhead and press down gently. The gentle 
pressure on the skin sometimes dislodges them quite easily. A lot 
less stressful than using your fingers.

2. Use a deep cleansing face mask prefferably a clay mask.

Glycolic creams are very highly recommended for blackheads removal. 
It helps in skin peeling, effectively unclogging the pores and 
smoothening the skin surface. You will be really happy to use this 
Glycolic gel for blackheads.
