Q. What is the best way to get rid of blackheads?

A. Blackheads are a build up of sebum. Sometimes cleaning is not enough. You may need the help of a professional Esthetician (Facialist). They can gently extract the skin to get rid of blackheads and other blemishes. If you must extract them yourself always work with clean tissue wrapped fingers.
