3. Extract Blackheads/Whiteheads for Clear Skin
Blackheads can be stubborn during winter because dry air causes dead skin cells to accumulate and trap oil in the pores. Removing them can be painful but not when you do it on the right time and use the essential steps to using a blackhead remover at home. After cleansing your face and washing with lukewarm water, you skin tends to be softer, making the blackhead removing process gentler.
You can also take a step further by doing a warm compress or use a facial steamer for about 5 minutes to soften the skin and easily clear clogged pores without stripping moisture. Then follow these steps:
-
Hold blackhead remover so that the loop is directly over the blackhead
-
Gently press the loop onto the skin and apply light pressure to extract the blackhead
-
End by cleaning your face again using mild cleanser to remove any residue or bacteria
