How to Extract a Blemish Like a Pro

Popping pimples. We’ve all been scarred by it. Doing extractions the right way, though, can actually improve your com-plexion,
says aesthetician extraordinaire Ling Chan of Ling Skin Care in New York City.
Here are her three steps to getting rid of zits.
Apply an exfoliating enzyme peel to the pimple or blackhead, then cover it with a hot, wet towel.
Operate
Wrap your fingers in an unscented tissue. With one finger holding the skin close to the blemish, use the other to push against the opposite side.
For a white-head, extract all the material until only clear fluid is left. For a blackhead, if it doesn’t come out after a few tries, stop!
After about three minutes, clean off the product with a massaging motion.
