Don't squeeze whatever you do! I'm a beauty therapist and so many girls come in asking about this. There is a product called dermalogica- go for the clearing skin wash and skin resurfacer (that's an exfoliation). If you pop your pimples- you will cause scaring to the follicle and can lead to hyperpigmentation (that's where you look like youve got a scar from popping a pimple or once you pop it; the redness doesn't go away. It could last for months to years if your not careful!!) I can't stress it enough; don't squeeze!!

This is kinda gross but I swear it works!!
First wash your face with hot water or take a hot shower. When you get out, put Elmer's white glue on it and the area around it. Let it dry then peel off the glue and your black head gunk will come off with it

Don't pop!! Get the biore pore strips. It'll be gone in 15 minutes. Just make sure your face is wet first before you put the strip on. 8 bucks at Walmart for like 12 of them I think

I always reccomend salicylic acid for blackheads.
Black heads are dirt and oil caught inside a follicle, and they're usually quite deep- so extraction will sometimes not always get rid of all of it causing it to come back. When way salicylic acid works is by basically deteriorating what's underneath it- which is why it's used in small doses, and it will get deep into the pore to get rid of all the clogged dirt.
Finding a moisturizer and cleanser with this ingredient will help keep your skin free of dirt and oil while also fighting your current black heads. I suggest you use it day and night to keep your skin clear and clean!
Try investing in a good exfoliater, and using it once every two weeks. Don't use it too often or it will speed up the production of oil which is not good when you have some clogged pores already, but using it often enough will help deep clean your skin and get rid of the dirt under it.
For a quick fix, you can try using pore strips. But they do not permanently get rid of all the dirt, and may not stick on to all of it. Older black heads tend to be deeper and harder to remove, so they will have to be done the slower way, or if you're desperate to rid of them you can buy an extraction tool from your local beauty supply store- or some drug stores- which squeezes the individual pore safely, just make sure your pores are open prior by applying a hot rag on your face.
After getting rid of your black heads I suggest a milk cleanser or any mild cleanser to keep your skin clean without dehydrating it, you wanna avoid causing your skin to over compensate for oils when you are black head prone, to keep them at bay. Also try and stick to an oil free moisturizer as well!
