You need to do two different things: Blackhead prevention & Blackhead removal:
1. Blackhead prevention
The best way for blackhead removal is preventing it from appearing. There are many ways you can do.
* Hormones are the major cause of overproducing sebum. Stress and food play important roles in the hormone levels. So, stress release is a good way for blackhead prevention. Diet is another good way: Always avoid too much intake of fat and junk food.
* Use a gentle skin exfoliant to remove dead cells from your skin, and keep the skin as clean as possible.
* Do not use harsh soaps, which may irritate the skin. Use only natural cleansers instead.
* Do a clay mask once a week for those with oily or combination skin. A good quality clay mask could help you to remove excess oil on your face, which is a cause of the blackhead.
* Avoid oil-based cosmetics and heavy make up, which could clog your pores and cause blackheads.
2. Blackhead removal
There are some ways for blackhead removal:
* Use a facial steamer to steam your face for a few minutes. This helps you to open up facial pores, and expose the blackheads. Pat your face dry. Then, use a blackhead remover to remove blackheads. Place the hole of the remover over a blackhead, and gently press down. This will apply the pressure from underneath the blackhead, and pop it up. Then use an alcohol pad to clean it up to avoid infection. Avoid harsh squeezing or scraping at the blackhead. Excessive squeezing can damage the skin surround the pore and can actually increase the size of the pore, leading to more blackheads in the future.
* You can also use a pore strip. The adhesive action of pore strips can actually rip blackheads out of your face. Since most strips are medicated, this will ensure you don’t get an infection from the rather rough extraction. Use a facial steamer to steam your face first, and pat it dry. Then, just apply the strip to the blemished area, wait the prescribed amount of time instructed by the user manual, and rip the strip off, taking the blackhead with it.
