For the best results, Blackhead removal should be done in a logical manner.
First you have to get the pores open, then you have to remove the Blackheads using one of the proven methods, then close the pores again quickly so they don't get contaminated and clog up again.
If you are willing to put in some time and follow a dedicated beauty regimen, I suggest you read the recommended method on How to get rid of blackheads on nose. But for a quick fix, any of these below given methods must work. These will not be as effective in keeping away blackheads as the above mentioned method, but it sure is a way
how to get rid of blackheads quickly.
Pore Strips
Pore strips are adhesive tapes that resemble masking tape, but are manufactured specifically to extract Blackheads without harming your skin. Of these, Biore Strips are the most popular.
Using a Biore strip is very simple. Just stick a Strip on your nose, at the blackhead affected site, and wait for about 10 minutes. Then, in one swift motion, tear the strip away from your face. You will find that most of the blackheads will have been extracted with just one strip, hence it is one of the most effective (and easiest) methods to extract blackheads.
It is recommended that you use Pore Strips atleast once a week.

Honey Patdown
This method works wonderfully if you have some really sticky honey in store.
Start with a clean face (NOT a wet one!). Cover your fingers in honey, and start patting your face rapidly with the honey-covered fingers. The honey will stick to the material inside the pores and pull them as you take your fingers back from your face. What's more, honey is an excellent Anti-oxidant, so if at all any stuff is left in the pores, they will not oxidise and turn black.
Please note that you will need really sticky honey for this to work!
Tomato / Lemon / Oatmeal Mask
Peel a ripe tomato and place it in a blender, along with a Tsp of Lemon Juice and a Tsp of Instant Oatmeal. Blend the mixture.
Spread the thick paste on your clean face, and leave it on for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
Tomatoes and Lemon Juice are rich in acids that fight BlackHeads effectively. Oatmeal is an excellent exfoliant. Together, they should work wonders.
Egg Whites
When it comes to Blackhead removal, anything is better than squeezing them out with your fingers, even covering your face in egg-whites and smelling like egg for the rest of the day.
Clean your face, Get some egg whites, and spread them evenly on the blackhead covered area, or the whole face, that would be better. Don't just stop with one layer, When the first one dries, paint another, and then another one still.
Wait for the whole mask to dry completely. 15 minutes would be an ideal time to wait.
By this time, the egg mask will have dried completely and your face will have begun to tighten. You might have started to get worried about your skin, but don't worry, we will get rid of the goo in a minute (not the stench though, sorry..). Get a washcloth, preferably dipped in warm water, and apply it on the mask. Scrub the layers away gently exerting Little force. The blackheads will not have disappeared completely, or nearly as much as when using a strip, but you sure will be left with a smoother and softer skin, and some of the blackheads will have gotten scrubbed away too.
Cosmetic Clay Mask
If you can get your hands on some Cosmetic Clay, you can easily make a mask that is really effective in pulling out the blackheads.
Just mix about 1 tablespoon of Clay with 1 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar and make it into a paste. Apply it on the affected area, and let it sit for about 15 minutes and dry into a tight mask.
Dip a washloth in slightly warm water and gently wipe the mask off.
Green Tea Scrub
If you are in the habit of drinking Green Tea, save the teabag after you have brewed a hot cup.
Cut open the used Teabag and take out the tea. Spread it on your skin and scrub it gently for some time. Green Tea is rich in AntiOxidants which will also help exfoliate your skin. Rinse your face in warm water afterwards.
Oatmeal Mask
A homemade Oatmeal mask is really easy to make.
Mix a cup of Oatmeal with 3 teaspoons of Aloe Vera gel, and 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda (and no more!)
Spread the mask on your face and leave it on for five minutes. Wash away gently with warm water.
ToothBrush it!
This is an extreme measure that should be attempted only as a last resort!
Dip a soft bristled toothbrush in lemon juice and gently scrub the affected area. Use gentle circular motion so you don't harm your skin. Rinse your face thoroughly afterwards.
Dip the tootlhbrush in Hydrogen Peroxide to clean it afterwards. I recommend you keep a seperate toothbrush for blackhead busting, for obvious reasons.
Make sure that you avoid any sensitive areas on your face, the eyes, and any cut or open areas of the skin!
