What is a quick, easy way to clear blackheads?

I wash my skin every morning and night, but I still have a lot of blackheads. My friend told me they're easy to pop, but that doesn't sound very healthy to me. Is there any sort of product or home remedy I can use? I have somewhat sensitive skin, if that changes anything.

    Biore nose strips. They really work great. After about the 3rd time using them they are almost completely gone. They have strips for the face too if its not your nose. Before using them, I recommend steaming your pores so they really open up and come out onto the strip:)

    Blackheads aren’t trapped dirt as most people think—they’re pores clogged with dead skin. When the dead skin is exposed to air, the spot turns black. “Pore strips can combat blackheads,” says Dr. Mary Gail Mercerio. “Just be careful if your skin is sensitive. But the real secret to removing blackheads is prevention.” Use a keratolytic product to prevent blocked pores. If nothing seems to help, see a dermatologist. A variety of prescription drugs can clear up blackheads.

    Its best not to pop them as that allows more bacteria to be open to the inside of the pore. I use a home remedy that calls for brown sugar and milk if you want it as a mask use more brown sugar and less milk but if you want it as a scrub use more milk i know it sounds weird but it works for me and the best part is if you accidently get it in your mouth it taste great.
