[Routine Help] OCM/BHA purging has (to my satisfaction) brought blackheads to the surface. Is extraction a viable option? (self.SkincareAddiction)

Beauty Tips For Body Care
(Normal skin with mild dryness and some excess oil, blackheads, SFs in t-zone and overall dullness of complexion.)I recently started a ScA-inspired regime to battle blackheads and SFs and hopefully restore brightness to a complexion that suffered from years of unhealthy acne treatments and general neglect/abuse from picking. Luckily, acne outbreaks are no longer much of an issue for me but I'm still battling other skin issues.I'm one week into my OCM and BHA regime and I'm seeing some results but mostly I've felt blackheads becoming much more pronounced on the surface. When I'm washing my face I feel pronounced "hard plugs". I'm pretty skeptical about this exfoliating regime's ability to fully extract them. They're right under the surface but they're stubborn. Is it acceptable for me to use an extraction tool to simply lift them out?I want these plugs out of my face for once and for all! I'm eagerly anticipating my new clean canvas.
