How To Extract Whiteheads And Blackheads Properly

 

 Hello my beauties! welcome to my acne series and today I want to talk about how to properly extract your pimples with a blackheads whiteheads extractor. I do have to stress that the incorrect use of extraction tools can cause like ice pick scarring caused like all sorts of like shallow to deep scar on your faces. Discoloration historically blackhead or acne extractors were used by dermatologists or by therapists and they have been trained professionally on how to use it. So that it doesn't damage or create the least amount of damage to the skin.

 The most common blackhead extractors on the market are the ones that look like a loop on one end and then you've got like the sharp point on the other. You can also get nowadays the new blackhead extractor tool which is sort of like this curved tweezer. It's basically a push down and then pull out extraction tool, this is definitely a bit more safer in terms of less damage to the skin.

 You also get extracting tools that have a longer or a loop here type of tool. These are great for like almost like scraping off the blackheads or whiteheads or yellow heads. We want to call them you also have these ones these are for like those big big pimples and these are going to more professional ones. So these are obviously used in salons and dermatologists.

 So before using a acne or a pimple or a blackhead extractor the first thing I would like you to do is assess your face.So sit in front of a brightly lit, you know mirror preferably magnifying mirror. Just look at the types of acne you have on your skin, you need to make sure that the pimple or the acne, or the black head that you're extracting is ready to be extracted. 

So blackheads is definitely ready to be extracted because it has an opening and it's ready to be coming out white heads. Sometimes you have to see whether they have an opening or it's going to be have an opening. You have the skills to create an opening for it.

 To come out the first step is definitely cleansing the skin and then exfoliating. Those are the two main steps before trying to extract anything from your face number three step is steaming the face. Because it actually opens up your pores and allows pimple to come out a lot better. if you don't have a facial steamer you can always do this for shower. So what you would do is wash your face exfoliate in the shower.

When you come out of the shower we've pretty much you know skin is ready to be extracted. The next thing is definitely to sanitize your extraction tools so either use like you know rubbing alcohol or if you have a disinfectant or anything like that just to make sure that your your extraction tool is clean.

 Also make sure that everything you do with your face is with gentle force so no like squeeze into the fact that you're shaking. No like popping until the point that you're about to cry just, just be really gentle in face.Because your skin is really delicate obviously have tissues and cotton pads ready because you never know what's gonna happen. It's probably gonna be a lot of blood and pus. Sometimes a lot of blackheads and when you do press down just have the loop that loops around the acne itself.

 Just press down gently and then with a little sliding motion just push towards you or push away from you. I don't like to pull towards me so that I kind of control the amount of force that I use whiteheads are harder. Because you need to locate an opening. Sometimes if you don't find the opening you can actually do more damage by causing the surrounding areas to be bruised or infected with whiteheads. 

People professional salons like to actually create an opening with a sharp point. That's why there's a sharp point on the other side of the loop which I don't suggest you use at home. Because you just don't know whether you're pointing the right way try and avoid using any extracting tools instead, use two cotton tips and just gently push around it and just try to get as much of the pus and blood out until the face.
