A smart way to get started with the blackhead and pimple removal process is by using a good blackhead removal tool. They don't cost very much, so it's a nice addition to your acne treating system that won't put a hurting on your wallet (or purse).
They're predominantly used by professional dermatologists but they're incredibly easy to use and really, anybody can use one. It's just a matter of following easy directions and being clean about things so you avoid any infections by taking some health precautions.
There are two basic types of tools to physically empty blackheads. The first one is the fine loop extractor. Is has a small loop on one end for blackheads and a slightly larger loop on the other end for getting rid of whiteheads. The other kind, is the double spoon extractor. It's used in basically the same way as the fine loop remover, but the ends are designed slightly different. They're spoon shaped (hence the name) and have a hole at the bottom of each small spoon.
After you grab a blackhead removal tool at an online merchant or local store, make sure you read and follow the directions that came with it very closely. The more you know, the less likely you have of making a mistake and damaging your sensitive skin.
The most important thing you need to do, is keep things sanitary. Wash your hands very good. You'll be touching open wounds on your face, basically, so you don't want to risk an infection.
It's also a good idea to disinfect the blackhead removal tool right before and occasionally throughout its use with some rubbing alcohol. These are tools usually used by professionals and should be used in a safe, professional manner.
Yet Another good idea to keep infections at bay, is to use a good quality antiseptic cream after the blackhead extraction process. It will likely come in little tubs and is pretty easily found online at stores like Amazon. Using this antiseptic will not only disinfect your skin, but will also sooth some of the soreness and irritation.
These are some tips to get you started. I suggest you learn as much as you can and at the very least follow the directions that come with whichever blackhead tool you choose to purchase.
