Using this blackhead extractor is easy. First, make sure your face is clean. Then, place the curved part of the tool around the blackhead and gently squeeze to remove it. Remember, it's proven safe for home use, but don't apply too much pressure to avoid skin damage. After use, clean the tool with soap or detergent and water. Dry it completely with a new, clean paper towel. Finally, follow the manufacturer's instructions and soak it in an EPA - registered disinfectant that can kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses to keep it in top condition.
