Blackheads removal is an important reason for many people to gain self-confidence and boost their self-esteem. Skin with blackheads looks unattractive, which can affect the relationship between spouses.
Let’s take a look at the best options for removing those nasty pus black spots quickly and permanently.
Manual removal of blackheads
To remove blackheads that have appeared on the face with the help of extrusions, you should consider the following rules in order not to aggravate the condition of the skin.
Step 1.
Take a hot shower or bath to soften the skin and allow the pores to dilate.
Step 2.
Squeeze out only blackheads that are ” fully developed”. Unformed blackheads cannot be completely cleansed and you just might overdo it, damaging the skin epithelium. Do not try to squeeze out all the blackheads at once. See how your skin reacts to manual removal of the blackheads and then decide whether or not to continue.
Step 3.
Be sure to treat the areas where you extrude blackheads with an antiseptic. Hydrogen peroxide is a good choice.
Step 4.
Apply ice to the holes (you can take an ice cube and rub the blackheads several times with it.
For people with skin of color, acne is often accompanied by dark spots or patches called hyperpigmentation.

Using scrubs
Scrub is very effective for removing blackheads and the vast majority of cosmetic dermatologists are in favor of this method of dealing with blackheads. Properly applied to the skin, the scrub penetrates deep into the skin and, like a rake, cleans it out of side formations in the form of pimples, blackheads, etc.
How do you properly apply acne scrub? Here are these simple steps:
Step 1.
Clean your skin of makeup and cream. Use special products, such as makeup cleansing gel or similar products that you have on hand.
Step 2.
This is the desired step. Steam the skin on your face. The process of applying the scrub after the sauna is a good idea, as the face and body skin is well steamed and the penetration of the scrub will be maximal.
Step 3.
Apply the scrub on your fingers and start rubbing it into your facial skin with gentle motions. It is better to rub the scrub gently for 2 minutes than to rub it rough and hard for 20 seconds. Massage from the center of the face to the edges: i.e. from the nose to the ears, from the center of the forehead to the temples, from the chin to the edges of the lower jaw. Particular attention should be paid to the areas where blackheads are piled up.
Step 4.
After 2-3 minutes of scrubbing your entire face, rinse it off with warm water. Rinse gently, without rubbing. Skin is even more delicate and easily damaged now.
Step 5.
Gently blot the entire face with a soft towel. As with washing off the scrub, don’t rub the skin so it doesn’t get red, just dry it off. The scrub has already removed the blackheads and you need to treat the pores gently so that they heal quickly, imperceptibly, without inflammation.
Face scrubs are the most satisfying products in any skin-care routine.
