We have all been told that if we can avoid picking our " pimplette" as I call them we can avoid major scarring in the long run. Many times I have failed to follow this advice, it's like something takes over and I just want to touch it. Do you ever get that feeling? Well for those of us that simply can't resist touching them here are some tips for using an extractor safely to get those unruly girls out.
Tip 1
Disinfect the extractor with some rubbing alcohol and wash your face and hands before proceeding with any extractions.
Tip2
It's best to do extractions after you've washed or steamed your face (be careful not to get too close to the steam or you'll risk broken capillaries) so the gunk inside is softened and more ready to be squeezed out.

Comodone extractors can be purchased at your local Ulta or drug stores.
Tip 3
Only attempt to pop pimples with a big, white or yellow-ish head. Don't even think about trying to extract ones without a head because you will only make it grow bigger and cause other pimples to pop up around the surrounding area. The bigger the white/yellow-ish head, the safer it is to pop without lingering consequences.
Tip 4
If you are having difficulty extracting or you can use your index fingers in tissue and gently squeezing/pressing both sides of the pimple make for a clean extraction. Alternatively, you could use two q-tips to help "roll" out the gunk in your skin.
Tip 5
Use a q-tip to disinfect newly popped pimples with some rubbing alcohol (beware, it'll sting). this will kill the remaining bacteria.
There you have it keep these tips in mind if your "pimplette" shows up unexpectedly.
