To safely extract blackheads at home, it is important to prepare the skin properly. Start by cleansing the skin with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt or makeup. Then, apply a warm compress or steam to the area for about 5-10 minutes to soften the plug.
Next, choose the appropriate extraction tool for the blackhead. If using a come done extractor, place the loop or spoon-shaped end around the blackhead and gently press down. If using a pore strip, apply it to the area and leave it on for the recommended time before peeling it off.
During the extraction process, it is important to be gentle and avoid applying too much pressure. If the blackhead does not come out easily, do not force it as this can cause damage to the skin. After extraction, cleanse the skin again and apply a soothing toner or moisturizer to help calm any inflammation.
