Steam your face first with a hot towel to loosen it up, wrap your finger in some tissue and pop that sucker out

I have no idea what "thingy" you're talking about. Ditto to what April suggested. Steam your face or try washing and giving yourself a clay mask of some kind to draw out impurities.

I think she's talking about a blackhead extractor.

put the circular hole of your 'thingy' (oh gosh that didnt sound right! lol) over your blackhead, and push down on it until it pops out...

steaming etc beforehand is a good idea if its a big one.

Just press down. Geez, I wish I had your face, it is obvious that you never have pimples, you cant get a blackhead out.

I am Jealous

I am Jealous lolx. i consider myslef quite lucky

but i've had my share....
just press down? the circular thingy is so big.. as in not near the blackhead at all.. press down????

lolx.. i must have sounded stupid... dont even know how to press a blackhead out.. lmao

 

[Ashley]

Maybe it's not "ready" to come out.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I've never had a problem with blackheads either.

y'all are silly!

what i do if it is a really bad one is take a sterilized needle, carefully poke right into the black head...straight in and straight out....and THEN squeeze...if you exfoliate the area where the black head is first that will help the 'plug' to slip out easier when you squeeze too

why poke the needle straight in and than out?? won't it push the blackhead deeper into the face???

Poking your face with anything sounds scary! :/

like you would pop a pimple, using 2 fingertips wrapped in tissue.

it's still there .. GROSS!

 

[Reaperfox]

Haha! Oh man, you're so lucky that pimples and blackheads are so rare you don't know what to do!

Something I found helps too is after steaming (or putting a very hot flannel/towel on your face for a while) is to STRETCH the skin away from the blackhead first and THEN squeezing around it gentle. I guess it losens the area up or something? I find it pretty easy to get rid of blackheads but I'm SO lucky *touch wood* I don't get them as often as I used to !
