Finding a Blackhead Remover that Works!

by Jhone Linkan Writer

Anyone who has ever noticed tiny black pimple-like specks on their face has come into contact with a blackhead. A blackhead is simply grease, oil, skin cells and bacteria that have become trapped in the tiny hair follicles on your body that are referred to as pores. The trapped waste stays in the pores, but remains uncovered by skin. Because there is no covering, the trapped material becomes oxidized causing it to turn black. Acne blackheads are commonly found on areas of the body that produce the most oil. The face, back, shoulders, chest and neck are all prime blackhead territory. Most people first notice blackheads on very visible areas of the face such as the nose and forehead. Blackhead Remover

There are many different methods of blackhead removal, but the best blackhead remover physically pulls the trapped oils and bacteria out of the pores. A comedone loop extractor is generally a stainless steel tool with two ends of unequal size. One end is either has a small wire loop or a round circular hole for blackhead extraction. The other end is either a larger stainless steel loop or round circular hole for extracting white heads. Before using a blackhead remover, be sure to sterilize the stainless steel tool by dipping it in boiling water and gently wiping it with a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol. Begin with a thorough hand washing. Prepare the area of removal by firmly pressing a clean, steaming hot towel directly on it. This works to open the pores and make removal easier. Take the small end of the comedone loop and press it gently over the blackhead while rocking it back and forth. The material trapped inside should come right out. As soon as the blackhead is removed, cleanse the area with isopropyl alcohol. Some blackheads are more difficult to remove. This may be because the pore is not sufficiently open. Other causes include ingrown hairs blocking the oxidized material from coming out and severe inflammation. If a blackhead does not come out by correctly using the blackhead remover, reapply the hot towel and repeat the procedure. Never force removal or squeeze the blackhead to get it out of the pore. This seriously increases the risk of permanently damaging the skin. Instead, apply an antibiotic ointment to the blackhead and let it rest for a few days. The removal should be successful after inflammation has subsided. Those prone to blackheads should take special precautions to reduce future occurrences of the unsightly blemishes. Only use mild, oil free products to cleanse and moisturize. Increasing intake of vitamins for skin health can also help reduce blackheads. Use a gentle exfoliation routine once a week to clear the skin of dead cells, which can block the pores and trap oils. For more information click here!
