One of the more recently popular methods of blackhead removal involves using a pore vacuum, also known as a blackhead vacuum. That said, the one and only thing that has helped the appearance and occurrence of my blackheads are extraction-heavy facials from my favorite celebrity esthetician, Renée Rouleau. Based in Austin, Texas, Rouleau comes up to L.A. every so often to cater to her celebrity and beauty industry clientele and has nursed my acne-prone skin back to clear, glowy, blackhead-free health more often than I can count. So who better to ask all my burning blackhead-related questions? If you're using a tool versus your fingers, your step three will go as follows. "Hold hair salon for men open near me the tweezers in one hand, and place the open tips on both sides of the blackhead you plan to extract. With the tweezer body perpendicular to the area to be extracted (curved part of tips in contact with the skin) and using the round, curved ends, gently press on each side of the blackhead until it begins to release. Apply slow, even pressure, and once you're able to, lightly pinch the tweezers and pull the blackhead out from the skin to extract it. If the blackhead does not release easily, do not continue to attempt the extraction. We're going for what I like to call 'responsible squeezing.'"
