What's the best way to remove a stubborn blackhead? I've tried that hoop tool thing it didn't work. Also a mud mask didn't work.

I have such an annoying one in the middle of my cheek and the black is so dark it literally looks like dirt on my face.

Anyone??

Use the oil cleansing method and salicylic acid. That will work for sure!

The OCM is a good way to go or you can use a BHA or AHA exfoliant - they deep clean your pores and slough away dead skin cells - a black head is just dirt stuck inside your pores.

What's the oil cleansing method?

If you google it you can get all the info about it - it's basically using oils to draw out the impurities in your pores - you can make your own mix of oils that caters to your skin type - I use 30% castor oil, 30% jojoba oil, 30% of the Dior cleansing oil (for its emollients), 5% maracuja and 5% tea tree oil - and that works for my combo/oily acne prone sensitive skin.

No problem - you can also just buy premade oil cleansing mixes too - like the Dior one is nice - and there are drugstore ones out there too - just use it instead of your cleanser and be sure to follow up with toner and you can use jojoba oil or one of your moisturizing oils in your mix to moisturize your skin afterwards - hope it works out well for you!

Tbh I used St Ives Apricot Scrub and I haven't even had ANY blackheads since using it, although you have to be EXTREMEMLY gentle when using this product, I've heard that if you have sensitive skin it can be really bad.
