This method is best used after a shower as the heat will open your pores. Apply Vaseline on the blackheads and then pace a plastic wrap over it. After this, place a hot towel over the wrap till it cools down to room temperature. Use a tissue to remove the excess Vaseline from your face and now squeeze the skin gently to remove the blackheads. Wipe your face with a cotton pad soaked in lotion. This should be done twice a month.
