Blackheads are a part of acne and can be a pesty thing that occurs mostly on the nose, chin and sometimes cheeks. Trying to treat them can be difficult but maintainable. Here are some tips to how to get rid of blackheads.

1. Exfoliate Weekly – Exfoliating your face once a week is a great way to get rid of build up of dirt and oil. Since blackheads is a plugged pore, exfoliating will unplug your pores. A good way to exfoliate your face is through microdermabrasion.
2. Use A Medicated Acne Soap – It’s important to still wash your face with a face wash that has benzoyl peroxide and/or salicylic acid. These medicinal agents will unplug pores and wash away any dirt and oil on the skins surface
3. Use Pore Strips – Pore strips are little sticky strips that are placed on the nose and left on for a few minutes. After a few minutes you rip them off and blackheads are dislodged. This method is not recommended on a daily or weekly basis. Do not use if the skin is swollen, red or irritated. Prolong use of pore strips will encourage more blackheads so use sparingly.
4. Use A Blackhead Astringent – Be careful when using a blackhead astringent. It will have alcohol and can severely dry and irritate your skin. Only use once a week or once every two weeks. Use after washing your face.
