Ok i've just bought a facials scrub and was wondering if this would get rid of blackheads?
If so how does this work immediatly or over time, should i just gently massage the scrub into the problem area and the black gunk will just come out i'm confused?

Or should i steam my face via bowl of hot water first and then apply the facial scrub?

I wan't to get rid of them but i don't want holes left on my face or scars!!!

Yeah well, that's not the way to go. Do more research in this forum. Scrubs are lies.

In my experience, scrubs are not very effective against blackheads. Gentle scrubs containing silica microbeads can be a valuable part of a skincare regimen, but if you want to go after blackheads, you need a leave-on treatment that will penetrate and exfoliate the pores. Mandelic acid and salicylic acid products can both be effective.
