Tips For Squeezing Blackheads On Nose

Squeezing blackheads on the nose is common, but doing it the wrong way can lead to irritation, infection, or scarring. Warming your face with a hot towel or compress for 10–15 minutes softens the skin and opens pores, making extraction easier. Regular warm compresses before bed also help loosen buildup. After squeezing, wash your hands, cleanse your face gently with a mild cleanser, and moisturize with an oil-free lotion. Avoid picking or using sharp tools like needles or pins. Use clean tissues to prevent bacteria spread, and for best results, use a comedone extractor—a looped tool designed to remove blackheads gently without damaging the skin.

If you’re struggling with blackheads and looking for a simple, natural way to clear your pores and achieve smooth skin, this Vaseline and makeup remover oil method is a game-changer. It’s an easy, effective DIY treatment that helps to gently remove blackheads and cleanse your nose area. The combination of warm compress, Vaseline, and makeup remover oil softens your pores and helps to lift out dirt and debris.

Ingredients:

• 5 cotton swabs
• 1 jar of Vaseline (or any other wax/fat moisturizer)
• 1 cotton towel
• 1 piece of food wrap (about 15cm x 7cm)
• 1 glass of warm water
• 3 makeup remover cotton pads soaked in rose water
• Cleanser (gentle and non-drying)
• Makeup remover oil

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Apply Vaseline

• Take a cotton swab and dip it into the Vaseline.
• Gently sweep the Vaseline evenly across the area of your nose where blackheads are present. Make sure it’s well-coated but not too thick.

• Step 2: Cover with Plastic Wrap

  • Cut a small piece of plastic wrap (about 15cm x 7cm).
  • Carefully place the plastic wrap over the area of your nose where you applied the Vaseline. Ensure it directly covers the Vaseline layer to help lock in warmth.

  Step 3: Apply Hot Towel

  • Dip a cotton towel into warm water, then wring out the excess water.
  • Place the warm towel over the plastic wrap for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. The heat will help open your pores, allowing the Vaseline to penetrate and loosen blackheads.

  Step 4: Remove the Plastic Wrap

  • After the towel treatment, carefully remove the plastic wrap from your nose.
  • Use a cotton swab to gently wipe off any remaining Vaseline from your nose.

  Step 5: Use Makeup Remover Oil

  • To completely remove the leftover Vaseline, dip a cotton swab into makeup remover oil.
  • Gently massage the oil onto your nose. The oil will break down the Vaseline while softening the pores, making it easier to lift the blackheads.

  Step 6: Emulsify with Water

  • After massaging in the makeup remover oil, add a little warm water to emulsify the oil.
  • Continue massaging in circular motions to remove the remaining Vaseline and oil completely. This helps clean and soften your skin.

  Step 7: Final Cleanse and Blackhead Removal

  • Use a clean cotton swab to gently roll across your nose, from one nostril to the other.
  • Gently massage the entire nose area to remove any remaining blackheads. The oil residue will help lift out dirt and blackheads from your pores.
