Blackheads Remover

Blackheads Remover

A blackheads remover, or extractor, is a small, metal instrument with a circle attached to the end. The circle is centered over the blackhead. The blackheads remover is used to push down on the surrounding skin. This expels the blackhead through the hole of the circle without damaging the surrounding skin.

A blackheads remover is a tool physicians use to remove blackheads. People have the option of purchasing a blackheads remover to treat their blackheads at home. They are available for purchase online, usually priced between $7-$25.

Sterilize the blackheads remover before and after each use. Always wash your skin before and after using a blackheads remover. Applying a warm washcloth before using the extraction tool can soften the skin and enlarge the pore, making it easier to expel the clog. You may find it helpful to use steam to soften your skin and enlarge the pores.

Only use as much pressure as necessary to remove the clog. If you press too hard, you may damage the skin and cause scarring. After removing the blackheads, apply an antiseptic soothing cream. To help prevent future blackheads, use the contents of a green tea bag as a facial scrub twice a week.
