Her Source | A Yucky Topic, But Here Goes: How to Extract Blackheads

How to perform extractions:

After showering, apply a thin coat of the heaviest moisturizer you have directly to the area you’re looking to extract. Using a rich moisturizer will create a temporary occlusive seal to keep the heat trapped in the skin, which for extraction purposes, is necessary. Next, tear off a small piece of cellophane/plastic wrap and cover the area. Then, apply a hot, damp washcloth to the area (on top of the plastic wrap) and apply a second hot washcloth directly over the first one. Hold it to the skin for five minutes. (The plastic wrap and washcloths help the skin to retain its heat longer.)
