Manual extraction, also known as squeezing or popping blackheads, is a common method used to remove blackheads. However, it is important to approach this technique with caution to avoid causing damage or scarring to the skin.
Manual extraction should only be done on blackheads that are ready to be extracted. This means that the blackhead should be close to the surface of the skin and easily visible. If the blackhead is not ready, attempting to extract it can cause more harm than good.
Before attempting manual extraction, it is important to properly prepare your skin. Cleanse your face and steam it to open up the pores and soften the blackheads. This will make extraction easier and less painful.
