Finally, how to pop/extract blackheads?
The first step in popping or extracting blackheads is to soften the comedones. It can be done with the help of a hot water compress or steaming the affected area. The best method to take facial steam is to fill your basin with hot water and then take the steam. Or, you can also use a wet warm cloth for the purpose. These will loose your comedones and your skin will become ideal for popping. Now to pop the pores out put the looped side of the extractor and encircle the blackhead. Apply pressure on the blackhead and let the infected material come out. Do this slowly and do not exert extended pressure. A persistent pressure can lead to infection and scarring. Do not keep pressing for the hard stubborn blackheads. It is better to leave them for expert handling. Also, never use your nails for extraction. This is a very fine way of increasing the infection.
