"HI, I'm Kim with Simply Beautiful in Austin, Texas we're going to talk about how to get rid of blackheads, how to remove blackheads. There's not a whole lot you can do, as far as, but I want you to keep your hands away from them. What I'm going to say to you is get a really warm towel, I'm just going to drape your face with the towel, leaving some area for your nose and mouth, leave it on there. We don't have the time for me to demonstrate how long to do this but I want you to leave it on there as long as the towel feels hot or warm. What we're doing here is we're opening those pores up so we can help release the blackhead, Then, we're going to take a clay mask, any kind of clay mask, I'm ok with, and then you're just going to put it on your skin with a relative thickness. I don't want you to be able to see your skin through it, about that much. You want to make sure you don't see your pores through it. You want to leave that on for ten to twelve minutes, not until it get dry and cracked, just ten to twelve minutes and then we're just going to, you can use the same towel even, just pull it off. With the combination of the steam and the mask, we're opening the pores with the steam, as the pores are open we're going to use the mask to draw out the blackhead and that's how you remove blackheads. Keep your fingers away from them, if that doesn't work, after cleansing your skin twice a day, two or three times a day and you still see you have a problem, you might want to visit a dermatologist who has a special machine that can suck them out of your skin."
