Press its hole over the blackhead and press it gently to get the blackhead out without damaging the skin around. Lastly, apply antiseptic soothing cream to avoid infections and helps the healing process.

However, before doing any of the three methods mention above, you need get your skin for blackhead removal. Wash your skin with mild exfoliating agent such as low potency benzoyl peroxide as an exfoliater. This helps by removing the dead skin cells and alleviate the blackheads by breaking up the blackheads rooted in the skin.

After exfoliating, pat the skin dry and get ready for steam. Use your wash basin or a bowl to get steam. You can see how to do this from the video shown in the previous post here. You can also add a few drops of tea tree oil to it because it is a natural antibacterial agent. This helps to gently wash away the dead skin cells, blackheads, excess oils and dirt from the nose area. If steam method is not convinient, you can do any of the method after a shower or bath.
