How to Pop a Black Head
- 1). Dampen the washcloth or hand towel with warm water and press it to the affected area on your face. This will help open your pores and loosen the fatty cells that have built up and solidified inside them. It also helps to fill a basin with hot water and hold you face over it with a towel over your head.
- 2). Press the circular side of the extractor against the blackhead and press down gently. Slowly applying pressure to the skin around the blackhead will eventually force it out of the hair follicle. Once the mass is out, wipe it away with a tissue.
- 3). Apply acne treatment to the area to help it heal and prevent more clogging of the follicle.
- 4). Sanitize the extractor.
