Everyone has their own ideas but here is my tried and trusted way to remove blackheads.

First, wash your face, not vigorously but gently.  You can if you wish use a soap but its not necessary.

Then soak a cloth in water as hot as you can bear.  Wring the cloth so that it is still pretty wet but not dripping.  Place it on your face (or wherever you have the blackheads) and leave it there for at least five minutes, ten is better.  The heat in the cloth allows your pores to open and prepares the blackheads for their eviction.

Remove the cloth and place a clean dry tissue on your face (to catch the blackheads) Using both hands, put your fingers, not your nails,  on each side of the affected area, and SQUEEZE.  If you inspect the tissue you will find the now homeless blackheads.  Repeat the process in the other affected areas.  If the blackheads do not pop out, don’t force too much.  Accept they are not ready and leave, but repeat the process the following day.

Don’t forget to dispose of the tissue
