Everyone has different skin, from dry to oily, from small to large pores. While there are few people that can say that their skin is truly perfect, I daresay that the rest of us certainly all have had some experience with blackheads. How to remove blackheads without damage to the skin or causing infection that will only lead to an ugly pimple remains the subject of many discussions. Below are some examples of how to remove blackheads without spending a fortune on the latest skin products.
How to remove blackheads with home remedies
Make a tincture of tea tree oil by mixing approx. 1 oz. of water with a couple of drops of tea tree oil and then dab the blackheads twice daily. Or boil some water and add tea tree oil to it, then let the steam open the pores and gently squeeze the blackheads between two fingers. Dab the open pore with a bit of the tea tree oil mixture, as the oil has antiseptic qualities.
Another good home remedy is a honeyand green tea mask. To make the mask, mix 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, 2 tsp honey, 5 tsp sugar and 2 tsp green tea. How to remove blackheads with this mixture is simply by applying it to the affected areas on your face and let it sit for ten to 15 minutes. Remove the residue by washing with clear, lukewarm water.
A very unorthodox but successful way of how to remove blackheads is using an empty pen cartridge as a “vacuum”. Hold the clear end of the cartridge over the blackhead and press lightly onto skin. Then use a twisting motion from left to right and the blackhead should come out. Make sure to use an antiseptic face wash or lotion afterwards to prevent infection.
How to remove blackheads using conventional methods and skin care tools
Probably the most well-known method and widely used method how to remove blackheads is using a gentle scrubbing brush to remove dead skin cells,
then utilizing a pore steamer to open pores, and finally using stainless steel lancets or a wire extractor to remove the blackhead.
While this is a very effective method it is also somewhat time-consuming.
One of the quickest and easiest methods how to remove blackheads is using pore strips. Simply clean your face; apply the strip to the nose, chin or forehead as directed and peel off. While this does work for most people, some feel that it only is effective in the T-zone of the face and not so much in other areas.
