How to get rid of blackheads painlessly and without squeezing them out?

I want to remove my blackheads but I have too many on my face to squeeze them all out. What is a fast and cheap way to remove them? I already own neutrogena acne face wash but I want a mask or something like that to remove them painlessly.

Biore strips dont work, dont waste your money.
Clean and clear type face washes that claim to "eliminate blackheads" dont work either.
They are way toooooo harsh on your skin anyway.
This is what you need to do.
I know its a LOT to read, but everything i mention is very important.
I PROMISE you will see instant results.
You will need : Face wash, an exfoliater, a clay mask, a towel, water, and a large bowl like Tupperware container.
STEP 1 : Wash your face like you normally do, i use Cetaphil gentle face cleanser.
Its the best face wash i have found yet, that doesn’t over dry my skin which causes oil glands to go into hyper drive and make my face a oily mess.
You can get it at walmart.
STEP 2 : Exfoliate.
I recommend St Ives Apricot Scrub, or whatever you may have.
Its cheap and it works.
If you dont have money, or anything in your shower, just mix baking soda & water into a paste and exfoliate with that.
That gets all the dead skin cells off your face and out of the way.
STEP 3: Get the bowl, and fill it with 2-3 inches of water, pop it in the microwave for 5 mins.
Get your towel ready also, the bowl will be hot, so carry it with the towel so you don’t burn your hands.
When the water is ready, you need to sit down somewhere comfy, and put your face over the hot water, with the towel covering your head & water.
The steam from the water opens up your pores, making it easy to get all the gross gunk out.
It will be a little uncomfortable, but listen to music while you do it, and try to relax.
If the steam is too hot, lift your face up higher from the water.
Do this for about 5 -10 mins, it depends on how determined you are to get clear skin.
STEP 4: You need a clay mask.
I’m sure any brand would work, i personally use Origins Clear Improvement clay mask.
Its pricey at $22 for a tube, but it lasts, its all natural, and it works WONDERS.
This is important – You need to put the mask on your face, while you are still under the towel, in the steam.
If you take your face out from under the towel to put on the mask, the cold air will close your pores, making the steaming part pointless, and the clay mask less effective.
STEP 5: Once you’ve applied the clay mask to where your blackheads are, keep your head under the steam for about another minute to make sure the mask really gets deep into your pores.
STEP 6: Take your head out from under the towel, and let the mask dry.
When it feels hard on your face, and dry, go wash it off.
Make sure you wash it off thoroughly. You WILL see results.
LAST STEP : Don’t forget to use a face moisturizer too! If you don’t your skin will get dry and flaky, because of all the intense cleaning you just did.
Good luck!

You never get rid of blackheads "for good". You have to get rid of them,them maintain a regimen to minimize their recurrence. You have a few options that I’ve used- Pore Strips, Blackheadmask, and egg and toilet paper mask-Before you use any method, I would recommend that you STEAM your face first. Be careful though. Get a pot, fill it half way with hot water, get it to boil. SHUT OFF the stove, and place your face above the steam. Again, be careful. You can also get a towell, soak it in hot water, and cover your face with it. Just make sure it’s not hot enough to burn your skin.Then, do whatever treatment you want to do.
After the treatment/strip/mask- Rinse your face with COLD WATER, then close your pores with either 1.salicylic Acid, or 2. Benzoyl Peroxide/acne medication 3. Sulfur ( I use de la cruz 10% but it is very drying) 4. Tea Tree oil (I’m going to be trying this one soon) to kill the bacteria that causes them in the first place. Go to http://www.blackheadmask.com and click on tips, and you will see a tutorial for the toilet paper mask- Second video. You can also purchase the mask (20$) but shipping takes a couple of weeks, and the egg method is FREE and available to you now. Hope this helps. Good luck!!!
Wash your face using St. Ives. Then use Chiqui Beaute facial mask.
The Mud To Go mask comes in two different kinds. Purifying and Lightening. The purifying is my favorite. It get rid of blackheads. You don’t even have to put it all on your face, it could just be on your nose. It works really well. Giving you a fresh feeling afterward. The lightening mask basically get rid of dark spots. Darkness that shouldn’t be there.
