Then, wash your face again with a foaming gel cleanser to remove any residue. To wash your face, you should use a microfiber washcloth to completely remove dirt.

1.2. Step 2: Exfoliate

Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin and helps ensure that the products in the next step are best absorbed by the facial skin. There are several different types of exfoliants such as:
Physical exfoliants include products such as: facial scrubs, home microdermabrasion, or blades. Chemical exfoliants like lactic and glycolic help dissolve dead skin cells. For the ideal at-home facial, experts recommend using both physical and chemical exfoliants. Start with a chemical exfoliant first. After leaving it on for 10 minutes or so, we recommend continuing with physical exfoliation to make sure dead skin cells are removed.
People with oily skin can exfoliate four or five times per week. Women with drier skin should exfoliate much less, about once a week.”

1.3. Step 3: Sauna

After exfoliating, you should steam your face. Under the impact of heat in the sauna will help slightly expand the pores. This causes the blackheads to sprout on their own to the surface of the skin. Steam also helps increase blood flow to the skin and hydrates the face. This process should only take 5-10 minutes. Prolonged sauna time increases the risk of dehydration.

1.4. Step 4: Squeeze acne

If you are intending to squeeze blackheads yourself, you must do it properly to prevent damage to the skin and pores. Women need to clean the blackhead extractor and wash their hands with soap before squeezing.
