Steps

Method 1 of 4: How to squeeze out blackheads without damaging your skin

1. 1 Blackheads can only be squeezed out with clean hands. It is quite possible to squeeze out the pollution without leaving a trace, but you need to take care of cleanliness and act with caution. Done right, this is a quick and effective way to unclog pores.

   How to safely extrude blackheads
   Take a shower first. A warm shower will open up your pores and make it easier to remove dirt. 10-15 minutes of exposure to steam will have the same effect.
   Wash your hands thoroughly. Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. Squeezing out blackheads with dirty fingers will introduce more bacteria into your pores.
   Apply some astringent lotion to your skin. A bottle of inexpensive pore-tightening agent can be purchased at your local drugstore or beauty supply store. Moisten the area around the blackhead with a small amount of the product.
   Squeeze the black dot with a cotton pad to extrude it. Press gently on the skin on either side of the black point to release the debris from the pore.
   Wash with water and an astringent lotion. Splash cool water on your face, then reapply some pore-tightening lotion. Then wash your hands.

   
   
2. 2 Do not use the blackhead remover yourself. Many stores now sell similar tools for removing blackheads at home. However, bacteria often build up on these instruments and may leave scars as a result. Leave the steel tools to the pros and do the cleansing and exfoliation yourself.
3. 3 Do not use heavily abrasive scrubs. If you have sensitive skin, harsh exfoliators will only irritate and worsen the condition. If it hurts when using the scrub, ditch it in favor of a milder scrub. Try an oatmeal scrub - it will gently exfoliate your skin, even if you're having trouble with more abrasive products.
4. 4 Wash your face twice a day. To prevent blackheads from appearing, you must first properly cleanse your face. Check with a beautician and experiment to see what works best for your skin.

   How to wash properly
   Remove makeup before washing. Leaving makeup on your skin will quickly clog your pores, so remove it every night with a special wipe or makeup remover.
   Wash your face in the morning and evening. Washing your face in the morning will refresh you before the day starts, and washing your face before bed will remove all the dirt that has accumulated during the day.
   Use a mild acne cleanser. Consider your skin type, choose a cleanser that removes sebum and unclogs pores.
   After washing, apply a mild moisturizer. A good moisturizer will prevent excess sebum production from causing blackheads.

   
   
5. 5 Wash your pillowcases often. During the night, dead skin cells and excess sebum accumulate on the pillowcase. Change and wash your pillowcases at least once a week to remove any dirt that has accumulated on fabrics, so blackheads will bother you less often.
6. 6 Don't touch your face. Even if you don't pick blackheads or pimples, touching your face is transferring bacteria to it from your hands. Hands are the dirtiest part of the body and are often the cause of acne. Do not support your face with your palms or touch it unnecessarily.
