A lot of people these days are trying to find the most efficient way to get rid of pesky blackheads and whiteheads. One option is to use a blemish extractor like the one dermatologists use. To give you an idea of how they work, I'll explain the process from start to finish.
The first thing you absolutely need to do is get your pores opened up. There's a few ways to do this. A popular option, is simply by taking a hot, steamy shower but not scalding of course. That's the simplest option but if you don't feel like taking a shower, you don't have to. Instead, you can . Once the water is giving off enough steam you can either put the pan on a heat-safe surface or pour the water into a large container. Then put a towel over your head and hover your face a safe distance from the water until your face starts to sweat. The last way I'd recommend is to place a hot, wet towel over your face for a while, until you achieve the same effect as the pan steaming option.
Then to keep things sanitary, wipe your comedone extractor (the technical term for the tool) down with some rubbing alcohol. Holding the tool, you'll want to line the pimple or blackhead up inside the correct sized loop. Press down with the blemish extractor and force out all of the puss and oil. You may have to press more firmly than you might expect, but don't get too rough or you could leave scars.
Once you've used this process on each of your blackheads and/or whiteheads, it's time to sanitize your extractor and also your face. It will most likely sting a little but you need to use a cotton ball and clean around and on the spots of your skin that you used the blemish extractor on. Trust me, it's well worth the time and small amount of pain. You really don't need any infections. I've read that some people also like to use a nice antiseptic cream after they're done. These usually contain tea tree oil which is a natural antiseptic. The cream will not only sanitize your skin, but will also sooth the irritated areas. It might also be a good idea to wipe the blemish extractor down again with rubbing alcohol just to be extra clean about things.
Well there you have it. It's a relatively simple process that for some reason seems to intimidate a lot of people. Don't get me wrong, though. These are still professional tools and need to be used responsibly.
