How do I get rid of Blackheads?

• Use a mild scrub or skin defoliant to remove any dead cells and expose the blackhead.


• Pat your face dry.


• Place a slightly warm compress on your face for approximately 10-15 minutes in order to soften the blackhead, making it easier to remove.


• Pat your face dry again.


• Place a piece of tissue on the tip of each finger to avoid slipping, which ould tear the skin and cause further damage.


• Gently apply even pressure to both sides of the blackhead by pushing down, then up around the blemish. You're trying to apply the pressure from *underneath* the blackhead.


• Only attempt this once or twice. If it does not "pop", you may bruise the skin, make the blackhead worse, and could cause scarring.

BEWARE OF PORE STRIPS!!

Repeated use of pore strips can cause irritation and future breakouts.
The adhesive on the strips can tear or injure the skin, especially if you are using an acne medication , or if you naturally have thin skin due to psoriasis, rosacea or seborrhea.
