Manual extractions do not make your skin cleaner.
The more often you mechanically remove what is inside the pore, the more oil your skin starts producing in response. Pores become wider, blackheads become more noticeable, and the cycle repeats.
Blackheads are not “dirt.” They are oxidized sebum. They should not be squeezed out. They should be controlled with the right home care, acids, retinoids, gentle peels and properly selected treatments.
If you constantly need extractions, the problem is not your skin. The problem is the approach.
