This article will help everyone to know the best methods on how to remove blackheads from the nose and to answer the question “what are blackheads?”

So what are pimples? Blackheads are clogged pores, often on the nose, but can be elsewhere, appearing black to the naked eye. Why are they black? Since the debris in the pore is exposed to the air, it oxidizes and turns a dark shade of black. Therefore, blackheads are not dirt and it does not mean that you do not know how to wash your face. I hope it has answered your immediate question of “what are blackheads?”

Blackheads on the nose are a real pain because they are unsightly and unruly. Even if you squeeze hard, many of the pimples remain in place. Sometimes these pimples are rough and oily, and can be felt by rubbing your nose with your finger. Sometimes they can also be itchy.

One good thing is that blackheads are not normally inflamed (but sometimes they can be).

Personally, I have had pimples in my teens and into adulthood (so for me, I had the answer to “what are pimples?” From very early on. They were the precursors to the many years of acne that lay ahead. By the way, now it is clear to me and I will share what clarified it for me in a moment.

Now about the top 3 methods on how to remove blackheads:

Method 1: Blackhead Extractor Tool. These can be purchased at Target / Walmart for about $ 10. They are long, thin little tools that are usually in the section with tweezers and manicure tools.

This tool has two ends. One is intended for whiteheads and the other for blackheads. The flat end is the one you will use for your blackheads.

The best method I have to use this tool is as follows: Apply direct pressure to the pimple area. Some of the pimples may come out directly, others will be more stubborn. A helpful tip is after applying pressure, gently scrape the dirt out of the pores.

You will definitely notice an immediate difference. This method is good when used regularly, but you can also consider it in combination with one of the other 2 methods below.

Method 2: strips of blackheads. These can also be purchased at Target / Walmart. These are very easy to use. Just follow the directions on the box, which is usually to wet your nose and then apply the strip directly to your nose.

Then wait 10-15 minutes for the strip to work. Then you take it off your nose. I think the recommended and most effective way to remove it is very slowly. Some people may find that these strips hurt a bit, but personally they don’t bother me too much.

Method 3: a facial scrub. Personally, I use Queen Helene’s Honey Oatmeal Facial Scrub. It is natural and much gentler than other scrubs on the market. There are other brands as well, such as St. Ives apricot scrub, etc.

You may want to test it a bit on a small area of ​​your skin to make sure you don’t have a reaction. When you rub the skin, be very gentle.

Don’t rub too hard as it can cause a breakout. I usually rub lightly for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Wash it and dry it.

You should use this method regularly if you are prone to pimples. You will avoid future blackheads if you do it regularly. If you still get blackheads afterwards, be sure to use method 2 or 3 above.

And that’s it. My top 3 methods on how to remove blackheads and a concise answer to the question, “What are blackheads?”

I use the 3 methods above as part of a more detailed holistic method for fair skin. It’s very simple. Basically, you try to eliminate as many chemicals from your skincare routine.
