Tips For Choosing The Best Comedone Extractor

There are several points you should take into consideration when you select the best comedone extractor to clean your skin of blackheads and whiteheads. Not all comedone extractors would equally well remove those ugly spots from your skin. And here are some tips on how to select the best blackhead remover .

First of all, before you make your choice of a comedone extractor, you should find out what kind of acne you have . Comedone removers can be used to get rid of both blackheads and whiteheads. Both are clogged pores and to remove them you’ll need to know how to use a comedone extractor properly. Otherwise, you might worsen your acne and get pimples and even acne scars.

Blackheads are called open comedones, they are not covered up with a layer of skin and they are exposed to the air. Whiteheads are called closed comedones. They are covered up with a thin layer of skin and they are harder to extract.

Different comedone extractors are used for blackheads and whiteheads. So, this is the first tip on selecting your tool. Find the one you really need or get a set of tools fitted for extracting both blackheads and whiteheads.

The next tip is this: where are your comedones located? Some places, such as the nose skin, are not suitable for using a blackhead extractor . The nose has lots of curves on it and in some spots blackheads or whiteheads simply cannot be reached with the remover tool.

In this case, pore strips or wax strips can be used for removing comedones. These strips contain glue or wax on them. Applied to the skin, they clean off all the oil, dirt and dead cells. They are easy to use, but just like comedone extractors, they can cause some side effects, such as skin irritation and redness.

You should also know that no blackhead extractor will produce any great results in removing comedones if your skin is not treated the right way. Some extractors are part of a kit together with pore strips and special cleansers. These cleansers help to loosen the blackheads or whiteheads in pores and to dissolve the sebum.

Another option for getting rid of both types of acne lesions is getting a special tool which is fitted for removing both blackheads and whiteheads. It has different loops on its ends, used for different spots.
