That is exactly why it is so important to know how to get rid of these ugly little pimples in a quick, but gentle and effective manner.
First rule is never to squeeze blackheads. It looks like an easy way to get rid of them, but it is not. Many acne suffers tend to squeeze their pimples only to find that it makes them worse. Do not do that with blackheads either, because it will only make the problem worse and spread infection. You need to find a gentle and non-scarring way to remove your blackheads.

Such a harsh treatment of your skin will only harm it and even though it will temporarily create the impression that your blackheads have cleared out, they will only be back. The only long-term, sustainable solution is to make sure in the first place that your kidneys and liver are clean. You can do this by drinking a lot of water.
