DIY Comedone Extraction

     If I can, I'd probably DIY everything! Well, I do. I cut my hair (and my daughter's hair... sometimes even my husband's hair), I do my own nails, and yes! I do my own facials. My husband is my favorite "customer" of course. He was more than happy to sort of pose for this DIY/review. 

     We used the 3-piece Comedone Exctractor Kit by Complete Skin Solutions. By the way, if you didn't know what a comedone is... It is just another term for a blackhead or whitehead. These are the things we wanna get rid off! I always sanitize my extractors before and after use. I have a spray bottle with alcohol in it and just spray them up.

The comedone extraction kit comes with this cute pink storage pouch.
     
     Next, I'm going to be showing you how each item looks like from tip to tip... Most of them has a loop for scrapping off that comedone. Try to push it down a little and lightly pick it up by sliding it gently on the skin. This procedure should not hurt (or maybe just a little). I've been told, I have light hands. Either way, my husband doesn't really complain about it. Haha.

     First, I asked my husband to go wash his face. Sometimes, I also do it for him. Then I just apply a toner and proceed with the comedone extraction.


Applying some toner.
 The first extractor has a loop on each end which can both be used to take out big or small comedone.
A closer look of the first loop.
This looks like the previous photo but notice that it's a little bent.
     
     The next extractor is my favorite piece in this set. I use it more often than the others. I use the thicker loop to kind of push down the surrounding area of the comedone (note that the comdeone has to be in the center of the loop). As I push down, the whitehead slowly surfaces out. And yes, my husband has whiteheads but no blackheads. I use the other end of the same extractor to scrap it out and then proceed to the next comedone.

Our first comedone. Lol.
     
     The last piece is used to puncture a stubborn comedone that won't come out easily by using the first two extractors. This can also be used for popping out a pimple. I rarely do this because my husband's skin is actually "normal." Yup. He has a beautiful brown skin like me! :)

The other end is also a loop like
the previous extractor described above.
     
     It takes practice to use these extractors and alsways use them with caution. For more information on how to use this set, there is an ebook that the seller will send to you. Please read it carefully before use.
