Getting rid of blackheads can be an annoying thing. Blackheads are caused by too much oil that has clogged a pore on your face. The clog happens when the oil cannot get to the top of the skin because of dead skin cells in the way. When the small pore opens up, oxygen mixes with the oil causing it to turn black, which is why they are called blackheads.
One quick way to get rid of blackheads fast is to pop them. This can help your skin because it will relieve much of the pressure from the inside that is causing the blackhead. Use a mild soap to clean your face and pat it until it is dry. You may even want to put a warm washcloth over the blackheads to make them easier to remove. Make sure your face is dry again and take your fingertips and put pressure on each side of the blackhead by pushing down first and then up. 
If this does not work the first or second time, do not continue to try it as this may cause scarring on one’s face.
A few other tips to help get rid of blackheads fast are really quite simple. Exfoliate often using a facial scrub. Using a facial scrub will usually speed up the removal process. Try steaming the face. Fill a big bowl with steaming hot water, use a towel and cover your head, keeping your head above the bowl. Doing this for 5 to 10 minutes can help open your pores up and help in removing those annoying blackheads. Using pore strips is a popular method of getting rid of blackheads quickly. Pore strips can pull the blackhead out of the skin. Clean your skin and apply a pore strip for about 10 minutes. Gently peel off the strip and you should be able to see the oil that has just been pulled from the skin.
If you are having trouble with blackhead removal, you can always talk to your dermatologist. They may even be able to get rid of them for you in their office. He can also help you out by prescribing you a cream that can prevent blackheads in the future.
