Items Needed For Getting Rid of Blackheads:
- Facial Steamer
- Niacinamide Serum
- Purifying Facial Mask
For exact product recommendations, click here to head to blog post!!
Directions:
- Wash your face well before using the facial steamer. I use a cheap one from Amazon, and it is awesome! I highly recommend getting one of these to treat pores, it has been a game changer for me.
- Once you have steamed, you can use the tools that come with the steamer to extract blackheads on the nose or chin area (or whatever area you have them).
- Apply a layer of the Niacinamide serum directly onto the area where blackheads were. I just do a spot treatment on these areas.
- Apply your regular skincare to the rest of your face, you can apply a layer of blemish based moisturizer on top of the niacinamide if you have some. If not, just leave that area covered in niacinamide.
- I do this routine every day for a few days until the area looks almost free of blackheads.
- For maintenance, you can keep up with minimizing pores and black heads by using a good purifying mask like the one we share in our blog post!
The reason you want to use a purifying facial mask is they typically contain ingredients to shrink and clear pores. This is key to keeping blackheads away!

Sorry, I disagree.As a licensed esthetician with education from Aveda, as well as a myriad of other education from other courses I will say an unlicensed person should NOT be using professional tools on their skin as it can cut, & scar the skin.
This is VERY VERY BAD advice. I have worked in various states & with various skincare lines & even have had two businesses.I do recommend using the following. Cleanse the skin, tone, use either two dental plackers for removing food/plaque press down on the skin & then move the tools toward one another & then the white or blackhead or blemish will usually come out. Or you can buy a skin scrubber or ultrasonic skincare spatula. La Belle makes one but, if you cannot afford $150 they have one’s which are less. A decent one is about $60. The cheaper one’s tend to wear out quicker. I have used cheaper one’s on client’s & the motors wear quickly. It’s not worth it. I recommend using them a few times a week. Use one side to pull out impurities & one side to push in serums, Creams, etc. You will also want to use a nice masque. Also, don’t use your nails or finger’s to remove or pick at your skin. It will spread bacteria.
If you want to also pull away blackheads a pore strip works nicely. Also, a scrub works quite nicely & lease don’t use St. Ive’s. Beauty professionals think this is junk. If someone in the industry tells you to use this at home please run.You can also once a month or twice a month get a microdermabrasion treatment or if you cannot afford one Trophy Skin has a decent Micro Dermabrasion machiner for home use. You will want to use it one to three times weekly. Believe it or not drinking collagen does help. Just find a good organic brand it does help. Make sure you have a well balanced diet, clean tour skin, follow with a good moisturizer, use a derma rollers, gua sha’s & use a good sun screen. Anything over 30 does not work. It is designed to make you feel better. Your skin needs maybe 15-30 minutes of sun a few days a week to avoid depression.60-70% of people are deficient of vitamin D. Avoid retinol if you are going to be in the sun for a week before sub exposure.
