If you're someone who has used a blackhead removing tool previously, you'll know just how sharp they can be. That's why it's important that you don't apply too much pressure on your skin while you use the tool or it might end up tearing and damaging your skin. Just be gentle and push the tool properly and it'll do its job.

It's almost a cardinal sin to use your blackhead removing tool before you've exfoliated your face. When you exfoliate your skin, it can help open up your pores and get rid of any surface dirt and impurities. This, in turn, can let your blackhead tool do its job a lot better by being able to dig deeper.

It's extremely important for you to understand that you must cleanse your face not just before but also after you use your blackhead tool. This is because the tool will open up your pores and will leave them squeaky clean but that'll also mean that they'll be prone to getting infected easily. So, use a cleansing wipe on your face once you're done with the tool.

Just like your skin, your blackhead removing tool must also be cleaned before and after you use it. Don't just simply use it on your skin as it might have some dirt or impurities on it which could get transferred onto your skin and lead to an infection. So, make sure to wash your tool with warm water and soap before and after using it.
