Getting rid of blackheads when you have clogged pores can be harder than when you have enlarged pores. Extracting blackheads therefore requires different ways of removal in both cases. While it is faster in removing black heads from open pores, more steps need to be considered on how to remove black heads in closed pores.
Removing Black Heads in Open Pores vs Closed Pores
When removing black heads in larger open pores, the best method is to use a blackhead remover to uproot the black heads from the clogged follicles located at the dermis layer. Pore sizes are genetics, they neither open nor close over time. Hence enlarged pores remain as open pores, while trapping sebum, sweat, dirt and dead skin cells residuals inside them. When the skin is not cleansed or exfoliated properly, these skin debris clog up the pores but remain unsealed, usually with the tips of the blackheads peeking above the epidermis surface, resulting in an open comedone. In such a case, you may use a tweezer to remove them if you only have a few bulbs of blackheads.
Removing black heads from the nose or face in sealed or closed pores will need a gentler and gradual process over a longer period. Blackheads in sealed or closed pores may appear as slightly discoloured bumps concealed beneath the skin’s surface. Exfoliation is key in removing black heads in this case. At home at your own convenience, use a muslin cloth to cleanse your skin or use a sonic-vibration face cleanser device (like the one below) in gently removing any dead skin cells that are blocking the pores. Very often this works better than using facial scrubs because it is a less abrasive way of skin cleansing. Such facial cleansing device has soft silicone bristles in dislodging skin debris; and with sonic waves technology will also help in stimulating skin cells for higher cell turnover rate and better skincare absorption. Using a cleanser device is good for deep cleansing to maintain overall skin health in countering overactive sebaceous glands which can cause excessive production of skin oils in clogged pores.
Getting Rid of Blackheads on Nose at Home
If you are getting rid of blackheads forming in clusters on the nose and areas around the nose, in between the brows or even on the chin area where enlarged pores are commonly found, it is more economical and less time-consuming to use pore strips in getting rid of blackheads at home. By pulling them out by their root tips so you can unclog the pores of the sebum plugs and bacteria from deeper within. Contrary to what people believe, enlarged pores will not shrink or seal by themselves. However, with proper cleansing and regular exfoliation, you may reduce any excessive keratin and sebum production and get rid of dead skin cells before they accumulate to clog up the pores again.
How To Remove BlackHeads on Nose with Pore Strips
How pore strips work to remove blackheads on the nose is that they are basically stickers or plasters with very sticky undersides that has a strong hold in lodging onto the blackheads once they’re overlaid on the nose or any part of your skin. Moist (not wet) your nose before applying the pore strip, then wait for about 15 to 20 minutes for it to be completely dry. Do not rip it out too hard and fast or you risk damaging not just the skin structure surrounding the pores but the hair follicles and nerves from the deeper skin tissues. Pulling out the nose pore strip with too much force may also rupture the pore internal walls, causing inflammation, bacterial infection and even the formation of acne or pimples later. However, if you are too slow in removing the pore strips, the blackheads on your nose may not be extracted fully and effectively. If the pulling is too gentle, the blackheads may not be removed fully, leaving the pores still partially clogged. How to remove blackheads on the nose effectively is to peel off the pore strip with a firm hand at a steady speed. This way, the blackheads can be drawn out in full from the follicular canal, clearing the clogged passage for cellular repair.
