Blackhead Extract

Blackheads can be an unwanted visitor on anyone's skin.  But, how do you get a blackhead extract from your skin in the best way?  

The most common process is:

1. First opening the pores to loosen your blackheads
2. Then following through with a second step to extract blackheads.

Here are some ideas to loosen the blackheads:

1. Try Repeated Steaming - You can easily steam your skin in the shower.  If you try this technique, follow through with it about every 2 weeks.
2. Home Remedey #1 - Comine 1/4 cup boiling water with one teaspoon of Epsom salt and three drops of iodine.  Let the mixture cool until it's comfortable to touch it.  Fill a cotton ball with this mixture and dab on blackheads.  This should allow them to loosen.
3. Home Remedy #2 - Combine equal parts of baking soda and water in your hand and rub on your skin gently for 2 or 3 minutes.  Rinse with warm water.

Ways to Extract Blackheads:

1. Use a deep cleaning mask.  Try a betonite clay mask.
2. Try squeezing them on a gauze pad. Although this technique can work, it may end up irritating your skin from the squeezing pressure.
3. Use a metal blackhead removal tool.  Be careful because this can end up causing more damage to your skin than it is worth.
