Keep It Extra Clean
Keep It Extra Clean Found a juicy one? Wash your hands (thoroughly, please), then wash your face. Gently press a warm washcloth against the blemish for a few minutes. This helps soften the gunk inside the pores, making for easier excavation. Then — pay attention, because this part is key — use a comedone extractor instead of your grimy fingers (yes, they're still dirty, even though you washed your hands). We're big fans of the Dr. Pimple Popper Comedone Extractor, $20. "Gently apply pressure around the circumference of the blemish to help ease out the contents of the clogged pore," advises Lee.
