🔹 1. Cleanse Your Skin

Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. This preps your skin for easier extraction.

Tip: Use lukewarm water—hot water can irritate, and cold won’t open your pores.

🔹 2. Steam to Open Pores

Steaming softens the skin and loosens blackheads.

How to steam:

• Fill a bowl with hot water (not boiling).

• Place your face over the bowl, drape a towel over your head.

• Stay for 5–10 minutes.

Optional: Use a warm, damp washcloth if you don’t want to steam.

🔹 3. Exfoliate Gently

Use a chemical exfoliant like salicylic acid or glycolic acid to dissolve the debris inside pores.

Do not: Scrub aggressively—this can make things worse.

🔹 4. Use an Extraction Tool (Optional)

If you’re confident and clean, a blackhead extractor can help:

Steps:

• Disinfect the tool with alcohol.

• Gently press around the blackhead—do not dig.

• Wipe the area with a toner or antiseptic afterward.

Alternative: Use clean hands with tissue over your fingers to gently squeeze, but this carries a higher risk of damage.

🔹 5. Apply a Pore-Tightening Toner

Something like witch hazel or a niacinamide toner helps calm and tighten pores after extraction.

🔹 6. Moisturize

Even oily or acne-prone skin needs moisture. Choose a non-comedogenic moisturizer to maintain balance.

🔹 7. Prevent Future Blackheads

• Cleanse twice daily.

• Use non-comedogenic products.

• Incorporate retinoids (like adapalene) 2–3 times a week.

• Use clay masks weekly to absorb oil and clear pores.

🚫 What to Avoid

• Picking with fingernails

• Over-exfoliating

• Using pore strips too often

• Drying alcohol-based products
