Blackheads occur due to sebum collection in your skin pores, and they can be really troublesome to get rid of. If you too are tired of enduring the pain of nose strips for blackhead removal and don’t want to squeeze them out anymore, here is an easy procedure for blackhead removal. This technique opens skin pores enough to make it easier to pull out all the sebum and dirt and then closes them to their usual size so no new dust can collect inside. Let us have a virtual look at the procedure:
-
Opening skin pores

Pulling out the dirt and sebum
Now that your skin pores are open, it is easier to pull out excess dirt and sebum from them, without the pain of squeezing them.
What you’ll need:
