How to Remove Blackheads Naturally

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Kelli. I'm an aesthetician and makeup artist at Ulta Salon and Cosmetics, and I'm going to tell you how you can get rid of blackheads naturally. First thing you want to do is you want to steam your face, so either get a facial steamer or take a really hot shower, boil some water and just hold your face over it for about two to three minutes. Now, it's going to soften all the oils and the dead skin within the pores. When doing so, you do want to make sure that you don't get your face too close and you do want to protect the eyes, either with eye pads or cotton pads. So after you've steamed your face for two to three minutes, then you can go through and remove your blackheads, and there's two ways that you can go about doing this. One way that you can use is just get some Q-tips and you can basically squeeze the skin around where the blackhead is and wiggle the Q-tips, and that's going to help to remove that blackhead. And since your face is steamed and all the oils and the dead skin is really nice and soft, it should come out really easily. The next method that you can use is to actually make some finger cots out of either tissue or gauze works really well or some cotton. And you're just going to wrap your fingers up. And you're just going to take it and squeeze it around the blemish and wiggle your fingers until the blackhead purges from the pore. So that's how you can remove blackheads naturally."
