Facial blackheads are undesirable acne spots on the skin. Removing facial blackheads can be done instantly if desired. Or the process can be done over a couple of days with medication.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Beta hydroxy acid
  • Benzoil peroxide facial cleanse
  • Zeno
  • Clean cloth
  1. Step 1

    Damp a cloth with lukewarm water and let it rest on your face. This will cause the warm water to draw out the oils on the skin, so they don't have a chance to build up any more and clog pores.

  2. Step 2

    Spread a beta hydroxy solution on your face routinely to eliminate blackheads. Tests have proven that such a solution can help to greatly reduce blackheads. This process can take a couple days for the blackheads to go away.

  3. Step 3

    Use a 2.5 percent benzoil peroxide cleansing solution on your facial blackheads twice a day after washing your face. Apply it generously on your face and rub it in. This solution will clear up blackheads over a couple of days.

  4. Step 4

    Sterilize a Zeno or another stainless steel blackhead remover. Do this by burning the tip for a few seconds under a small lighter or by dipping the device in rubbing alcohol. Allow the device to dry.

  5. Step 5

    Place the tip of the blackhead remover on the blackhead you'd like to instantly remove. Push the device onto the blackhead, and the tip applies pressure around the blackhead to remove it.
