Is it better to squeeze black heads or pimples, or just let them as they are???

Answer 1

The best remedy I've ever found (and I used to work in the cosmetics and skin care industry!) is a little dab of tea tree oil or lavender oil. These are essential oils you can get for pretty cheaply at a health food store. As soon as you feel it coming on, dab a bit onto clean skin. If you do this early enough, you won't even have the option to squeeze because they'll never come to a head.

If you've got a big problem, see a dermatologist. Even a good facial is a good thing because the women who do them have been trained and will not over do which can cause scarring.

Be sure you drink a lot of water, it’s one of the best things you can do for good skin! Cheers!

Answer 2

you shouldnt squeeze because it can leave scaring. There are tools for blackheads where you apply pressure and a small cone with a hole in the end pops the pimple/relieves the blackhead. You can find them at most drug stores in their make up tools section.

If you must squeeze though, take a shower as the steam will open your pores. Then wash your hands with anti-bacterial soap. Take a tissue to cover your finger tips and apply pressure to the area. This will prevent fingernails from leaving marks. After youre finished, apply a medicated creme or liquid like clean and clear or clearasil to the area to help it heal. Both of these can be found at a drug store.

Answer 3

You should squeeze the black heads but for the pimples use vicks just a little bit when you are going to bed in the morning you wash your face with a scrub and it will be perfect.

Answer 4

its better that u squeeze them..because it looks really ugly especially the black heads..what you should do is that u bring a boiling water with a punch of mint inside it and put ur face near the pott but beware of getting hazards :s and cover ur head with a towel so the steam will reach ur face and the pores are going to be open..after that sqeeze ur black heads and the pimples u have they will get out quickly and easiy because the mint and the hot ater helps in opening the pores which makes the procedure really easy...

Good Luck :)

Answer 5

I squeeze when they are at a head. But I wait as long as possible.

I've found they leave scars when I don't even touch them. So for me, it doesn't matter if I squeeze or not.

Go to CVS and buy one of those acne tools you use to get zits and blackheads off your face. They're located with the tweezers and nailfiles and stuff. It's the same tool esteticians use during "acne surgury". I have it and it works wonders!

Answer 6

Leave them!!! If you squeeze them, there is a possibility you could get a scar or even make it infected! Ewww sorry but the thought of squeezing them is gross. Use concealer/foundation if you want to cover them up but maybe invest in a special type of face wash or black head cream/lotion to prevent in future??

Answer 7

If you want scars...then go ahead and squeeze away. Use a clay mask regularly for blackhead control. Use Neutrogena On the Spot...they are little "stickers" that you place on your pimples and they really do disappear overnight. (the zit, not the dot)

Answer 8

Wash your skin with warm water and then squeeze them, but make sure that you have some alcohol handy so you can rub it to the squeezed area.

Answer 9

In tight times like these I gently squeeze my blackheads & siphon off the oil to use as a lawnmower lubricant.

Answer 10

Leave them as they are. If you poke at them, they're just gonna get even more infected.

Best thing would be to get some oral cream from the doctor and apply it the moment you see the first signs of pimples.
