How to Extract Whiteheads and Blackheads With Microdermabrasion

Everyone has those stubborn blackheads and whiteheads that plague the reflection in the mirror. A bad habit that many people have is to extract the blackheads by picking or squeezing the skin, which can result in scaring. Fortunately, there are many reliable home remedies on the market to help you rid yourself of those unsightly blemishes. One option is to use an at-home microdermabrasion to extract whiteheads and blackheads.

Instructions

1. Purchase an at-home microdermabrasion kit. There are many on the market, and it may take some trial and error to find the brand that works best for your skin type.

2. Cleanse your face thoroughly with soap and water. Dab your face dry with a towel.

3. Apply the microdermabrasion cream to your face with your finger or the applicator provided in the kit. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

4. Rinse the cream from your face gently with a washcloth and lukewarm water. The cream may need to sit on your face for a short amount of time for best results, so check the instructions before rinsing.

5. Wash the applicator after each use to keep the dirt and oils you remove from transferring back to your face on the next application.

6. Repeat the process on a weekly basis for best results.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep your skin at its best and aid in the prevention of blackheads by washing daily and wearing sunscreen.

• At-home microdermabrasions have a tendency to cause irritation of the skin and breakouts. Try various brands to find the one that causes the least irritation or have the procedure done by a dermatologist.
