If you have Blackheads, Whiteheads, Comedomes that are stubborn, deep set in the skin, does not seem to want to come out, just stays there on the skin - neither progressing into a ripe pimple, nor fading away, this is the cure. Mix 1 Tablespoon vodka with 2 Tablespoon water. Dab on clean skin, and leave it there. Do not wash off. After a few applications, the sebum (oily, waxy substance) will be drawn up closer to the surface of the skin. Now, with a little hot steam in the shower, and some pinching, the sebum comes out more easily.
I had sebum that would just sit deep in the skin. Forming bumps and closed comedomes all over (face,, neck, back, chest). Pinching it was hard because it was so stubborn and deep set. Once it formed it would just stay there, for weeks/months. If it progressed into a red, ripe pimple then it would eventually pop, and that'll be the end of it. But these closed comedome just STAYS there.
This vodka method really helps. After 2-3 days - apply once to twice a day, the sebum, closed comedomes, are surfacing!!! I can finally pinch in with a warm cloth and out they come!

I'd like to point out that professionals state to never apply Tea Tree Oil directly to the skin without a carrier oil. When dealing with essential oils it's crucial to do research before recommending possible dangerous uses.

Are blackheads a fungal infection? Athlete's foot causes a buildup of dead skin cells beneath the nail. The nail turns yellow and peels. Eventually it is destroyed. Is it possible that blackheads are a similar fungal infection affecting the hair folicles?
