It happens that you get pimples when you don’t expect it at all. When you see that big pink pimple, your first thought is usually to pop it, resulting in scarring. How to remove blackheads effectively has been the main question in our teenage years and also in some of our adult years. We all have, at some point or another, thought, “How to remove pimples? How to get rid of pimples? How to treat pimples?” Here are some easy tips on how to remove blackheads.

Avoid popping it – this will only give you temporary satisfaction, but the scar will last longer than expected. When you pop a pimple, it will start to spread through the pores, resulting in more pimples. The main thing to keep in mind when you are thinking about how to remove pimples is not to touch it, no matter what.

Apply ice – This will help reduce swelling. Keep applying ice daily until the pimple is reduced in size. Doing this regularly will also shrink the pores. It will also prevent dirt from accumulating in the pores, which normally causes blackheads or acne to appear.

Apply Tinted Acne Medication – Tinted acne medication is available at every drug store across the counter. The tinted acne medication should match your skin tone. What it does is that it acts as makeup to cover the pimple but at the same time it helps to heal the pimple. Ideally, you should buy tinted acne medications that contain only 10% or less of benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or sulfur.

Use heat: If icing the pimple doesn’t help it shrink, then apply heat. You should apply heat with a clean cloth to the affected area. Do this until pus comes out of the pimple. Once the pus has come out, you can use medicated acne soap to keep the area clean and germ-free and get rid of the blackheads as well as prevent them from spreading.
