![]() Make sure to keep breathing through your mouth if you have a stuffy nose as your nostrils (at least one of them) will get completely shut as you do this. ![]() Then as if you’d scoop ice cream, push down on the tool and move the tool downwards as you do. Using blackhead extractor tools, nose blackheads that are just behind the nostrils will quickly become a thing of the past. Especially if you are not using a tool to do so. This is the area between your eyebrows and down to your nose.īlackheads on the nose can be very tricky to remove. Hard to reach places:Īs we see the most common place for blackheads to appear would be in the so-called “T-zone”. This will leave behind a perfectly empty pore as the dead skin and oil mixture is squeezed out of the blackhead or whitehead. This allows the debris in the pores to be pushed out from the bottom. It sounds a bit silly but there really is no better way to describe the motion that this tool requires to achieve the best result.īy pretending you scoop out ice cream you are effectively applying pressure on the far-side of the tool. ![]() Then once it is placed pretend like you would scoop ice-cream out of a jar. Simply place the loop over the black- or whitehead of your choice. Ultimately what counts is that the gunk is out from your pores! However in practice I have seen the small loop being used to extract blackheads and vice versa. The whiteheads on the other hand, can’t withstand the pressure the small loop provides. Now the tool used in the picture above has 2 loops which one should you use, right? The flat loop is meant for extracting those hard-to-reach blackheads. If all went well, you might even hear a small pop, after which the sebum pops out of the pore. Place the right sized loop over the right sized comedone, then use a sweeping motion to apply pressure to the comedone. These include a lancet tool, used for popping whiteheads before extraction, and comedone extractor tools to fit a variety of comedone sizes.Īs seen in the video the way to use these are relatively simple. In the picture above a kit persisting of 5 tools are pictured. Or then, be smart and use a comedone extractor! Therefore if you do decide to use your hands, use gloves when touching your skin. You really should wash them more often, however very few of us ever do. Hands are one of the most dirty parts of your body. Your hands, are NOT the right tool for this job. As a result less pressure is required, saving your skin and your mental health at the same time! Using a comedone extractorĪs we can see in the video above, the right tool needs to be selected for the job at hand. That way when pressure is applied, the sebum stuck in your pores will come out more easily. That is why before a facial a lot of dermatologists and beauticians will use a facial steamer to loosen up your skin. ![]() Your pores for example have a tendency to “loosen up” (note not open!) under the influence of warm temperatures. Your skin reacts extremely well to changes in temperature. In an effort to make the whole process more enjoyable there are a few steps you can take. Anyone who has been to a dermatologist knows full well the pressure that they have put on these tools to get your gunk out! Making it easier on yourself However if you feel that they come out relatively easily, there isn’t any harm in using these. Too much pressure on your skin using a sharp tool as this might leave your skin prone to scars. If you have to apply an extreme amount of pressure on your comedone extractor, it might make more sense to go see a professional to get rid of your blemishes. I believe there isn’t any reason available to be scared of these tools as long as you use common sense. A lot of people however are hesitant to use them. How to use a comedone extractor? Mechanical extractionīy far the most used tools are the ones pictured above. We can now use a comedone extractor in an effort to get rid of either black- or whiteheads from your skin. Resulting in a single pimple on your skin. As a result the sebum does not oxidize and remains white. If a comedone grows over on the other hand, the sebum stuck in the pore does not oxidize as it is not in contact with air. the skin does not grow over the pore, the sebum stuck in the pore has a chance to oxidize and turn black. The only way a black- or a whitehead differ from each other is how the pore evolves after being clogged. So we understand that a blackhead, or a whitehead, is just a more specified version of a Comedone. As we can see from the picture, a clogged pore can turn either into a whitehead or a blackhead. In a sense, both blackheads and whiteheads start out the same way! Therefore the scientific name for both these starting situations is called “Comedone”.
