Schamberg Comedone Extractor $15.50 Use this extractor to get rid of blackheads, pimples and comedones. Blackheads are a mixture of dead skin cells, oil and bacteria that builds up inside our skin’s pores. Use the same tools that professionals use to extract blackheads, pimples & clogged pores. Using this extractor is the safest, most ideal way to remove them without damaging your skin. They can be exterminated by using a quality professional comedone extractor. First, lay a warm, wet washcloth on your face for a few minutes. After a warm, steamy shower is an ideal time to extract or using a hot water compress is strongly recommended to help soften comedones. This will make them much easier to remove. When you're ready to begin the extraction process lay the looped side on top of the blackhead - basically encircling this area with the loop. Apply slow and even pressure lightly until the trapped sebum is forced out of the follicle. The blackhead — oil and all — will ooze up and out of the pore. Do not continue to attempt the extraction if the trapped sebum is not released easily. Applying too much force can cause infection and scarring. When piercing a whitehead with lancet (Pointed end), wait until the whitehead breaks open, then gently roll the tool over the whitehead. Be sure to disinfect the area when finished and clean your tool off with alcohol or hot water. A deep, cystic pimple should not be opened with the lancet. When dealing with deep acne, it's best to visit a dermatologist. A doctor may use a sterile needle, but only after a pustule has formed. Additional treatments depend on the severity of the acne. You should always use professional-quality tools for your skin rather than buying cheaper and lower quality implements. It truly makes a difference.

Using the Schamberg Comedone Extractor is the safest, most ideal way to remove them without damaging your skin.

We recommend the following routine to prevent or limit the amount of blackheads and pimples:

1. Cleanse the skin daily.
2. Exfoliate 3 x a week.
3. Mask & Hydrate 2 x a week.
4. Peel With Glycolic Pads 5% 0r 10% to stimulate the exfoliation of cells 1 x a week.
5. Always use SPF protection after any exfoliation.

A blackhead is a plug of dry, dehydrated sebum that gets stuck in your pores on the way out of your skin due to several reasons:

1. Lack of water in your system.
2. Excess dead cells blocking the opening to the pore.
3. Excess Oil being Produced by you.
4. Improper cleansing routine, oil not being removed.
5. Products / makeup you are using or not using.
