How to Use:

First take a shower and wash your face thoroughly. Now apply a generous coat of Vaseline on the affected area in a way that it creates a temporary seal by trapping the heat in the skin. You can use any other moisturiser too, but Vaseline works best as it is thick and doesn’t drip.

Now take the plastic wrap and seal the area. Soak the washcloth in the meantime in hot water. Squeeze the excess water from it and apply the two small hot, damp washcloth over the area for at least 5 minutes to give it more heat, and loosen the pores and blackheads.

Further on, take off the washcloth and the plastic wrap, and wrap a tissue around both your forefingers and gradually press the skin that is filled with blackheads to remove them. To avoid bruising your skin refrain from applying too much force and keep re-positioning your fingers. Don’t make any more than three attempts to remove the blackheads, else you will end up breaking the capillaries leading to the formation of pimple. Remove the ones that come out easily.
