Vaseline (petroleum jelly) can be used as an effective method to remove blackheads and whiteheads naturally by softening clogged pores, making extraction easier. This method is especially useful for those with dry or sensitive skin who want to avoid harsh scrubs.
Why Vaseline Works for Blackhead & Whitehead Removal?
✔ Softens and Loosens Pores – Helps draw out trapped dirt and oil.
✔ Moisturizes the Skin – Prevents dryness after extraction.
✔ Safe for Sensitive Skin – No harsh chemicals or irritation.
