The Right Way to Remove Blackheads
It is not right to remove blackheads with our fingers or with tweezers.
Blackheads are dried fat tissues that clog the glands that secrete oil on our face. It is called comedone. The black color that we see on top of black heads is not dirt.
Blackheads come out when our sebaceous follicle that let out oil has a problem. When this happens, the glands are clogged and the follicle is enlarged allowing the bacteria to enter and cause infection. These become pimples afterward.
It is not advised that we prick pimples with our fingers or with the tweezers because it is possible that they can be infected especially when what is inside cannot come out. If we notice during facial sessions, the face is given steam bath to open the pores. This is because it is easy to remove the blackheads when the pores are open and the blackheads had softened.
At home, we can use lukewarm water and mild soap. It is not advised to use our fingers or the tweezers to remove blackheads. Actually, we must never use anything that could cause infection to our face. There are tools that can be bought to remove them. I cannot exactly recall what they are called but they are designed with a sharp pointed end and a rounded end with a hole at the other. If you do not know how to use them, it is better to go to the derm clinics because they know how to use these tools to prick the blackheads and the pimples.
It is still better to seek and learn the best ways to treat problems of the face. We cannot afford to guess and take chances. An ounce of prevention is better than cure.
