How do i get rid of black heads and pimples with household items?

Topical products: You can purchase a small device called a pore-extractor at the make-up section of stores, that is probably the safest option, using household items not intended for the task will risk causing bruising to the skin, or redness, or possibly worsening the situation.

Comedone extractor: Wash face w gentle cleanser 2x/day & use oil free products. No oily hair or heavy foundations. Exfoliate occasionally. Try not to pop pimples. Avoid touching face (cradling chin in hands). Remove makeup before bed. Shower after strenuous exercise. Consider otc products (salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide). If > mild acne see dermatology (discuss meds, comedone extractor, pore strips, etc.).
