Doctors refer to it as open comedo, but you know it better as a blackhead. These irritating developments on the face and chin are considered to be the first sign of pimples. So blackhead removal assumes paramount importance.
Here is the process on how you can get those blackheads out without causing scars from pinching.
Preparing your skin
The first step in the process is to get your face ready for the facial. This is fairly easy and all you need to do is to wash your face with water using some mild soap. Don't go overboard while scrubbing your face. Also, after you are done washing your face; dry your face with a clean towel by patting it gently.
Facemask Application
The integral component of the blackhead facial is the facemask. Typically, a facemask should be wet, before you apply it. Upon application, give it around 15-20 minutes to dry. The purpose of this mask is drawing blackheads to the surface and also dislodging the whiteheads. Before applying the facemask, go through all the instructions with a fine toothcomb. Only then should you begin this part of blackhead facial.
Washing off the facemask
When the mask is completely dry, peel off the mask or wash it off with warm water. This should help open your pores more and make it easier for you to get the blackheads and whiteheads out. Pat yourself dry with a soft cloth or towel after.
Open the pores further
After washing the mask off, putting a warm towel on your face should open the pores more. This should prepare your pores for the next step of blackhead removal and makes it less painful for you.
Blackhead extractor
Normally, a double-ended extractor is used for this process since it one end can be applied onto the blackhead while the other end takes the blackhead out of your pores by pressing it out. It is painful of course, but you have to make sure that all of the blackheads are extracted or it may cause pimples in the future.
Home-based blackhead facial should be a good alternative to going to the dermatologist and spend big bucks on skin care. If you want to maximize your blackhead facial, you can repeat the process until you achieve your desired result.
