Answer
Boil some water in a medium sized pot and steep some dried herbs or herbal tea in the water (suggestions would be the herbal mix found in the laxative tea Swiss Kriss, or Chamomile and peppermint teas...basically any decaff herbal tea).
Take the pot off the burner and, with pot holders, transfer pot to a stable surface, like a table. Put a pot holder underneath it so you don't ruin your table. Put your face over the water, but not too close or your will burn your face. About 5-6 inches above is about right...experiment for the right distance. Make sure your hair is tied back and a large towel is covering your whole head and draping over the sides of the pot...so that no steam can escape.
Steam your face like this for about 10-15 minutes. If the water cools off, you can always reheat. I like to do hot/cold water therapy on my skin. The way you do this is by steaming for 10 minutes, then splashing cold water from the faucet on your face for a minute...then warming up your water again and steam again for 10 minutes...
Then...when your pores are heated and open from the steam...apply a glacial marine mud mask...a lower priced one is Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask...a higher priced one could come from Nu Skin (ordered online) or Zihr (considered a men's skin care line..but very effective), or Alba Botanica (found in health food stores, Rite Aid, or CVS). Let the mask dry until it cracks, or is very tight.
When you are washing the mask off with warm water, you may see some of the white heads starting to become softer...this is the ideal time to gently extract them. But if the skin over the white head seems really thick, DON't force the stuff out by squeezing!!! This will cause scarring!
If the white head still isn't ready to come to a head, you can put the same mud mask on the whiteheads (spot treatment), and wear overnight. In the morning, you could steam again and this time, try a different kind of mask...like Queen Helene's Grape Seed Mask. This will refine pores and get tight enough to encourage the gunk in your pores to come to the surface.
You can also buy a tube of 10 percent benozyl peroxide and do a spot treatment with that.
When your skin is still all fresh and moist from the mask and/or steaming, apply a Quality, Light foundation like Estee Lauder Lucidity or Sue Devitt Triple Seaweed Foundation...these foundations aren't too drying...they actually have some moisturizers in them and reflect light away from the skin to detract attention from blemishes.
Other products that are helpful in softening up whiteheads are the Zia brand skin care line, found at Whole Foods and other health food stores...I love their papaya enzyme and pumpkin mask products. They really help to condition the skin, improve blood circulation, and improve acne if used regularly.
Also, remember to decrease stress and drink loads of pure water. You can also workout and sweat a lot before doing the above skin care...this will open up the pores and help to expel a lot of skin toxins...just remember to wash your skin with a gentle cleanser afterwards.
Good Luck!
