It might work better if you steam your face first, such as by taking a shower or by filling a bowl with boiling water, then holding your face over the bowl and covering your head and the bowl with a towel to contain the stem. You may need to let the water cool a bit if the steam is too hot to breathe. Be careful. Allow five to ten minutes or more.

If you can afford it get a deep pore cleansing facial once a month or so at a salon or spa. Lots of guys do this.

: I was wondering if anyone knew a good way to get rid of blackheads. I have tried putting a warm wash cloth on my face for 10 seconds to open my pores, and then using a blackhead extracting tool to try to remove the blackhead, but this didn't work to well. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or tell me what i should do. Thanks in advance.
