  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.

Top 5 Acne Solutions

Use A Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl-Peroxide Based Cleanser
You heard it here! Using Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl-Peroxide will help reduce pimples, breakouts and blackheads. Using a Salicylic Acid based cleanser only, will only make you less red but will not clear pimples or blackheads. The Benzoyl-Peroxide will strip away blackheads and will work deep down to penetrate pimples. A lot of cleanser has either one or the other so a good solution is to buy one of each.

Wash Your Face Twice A day
Washing your face twice a day will not dry out your skin. For oily skin it won’t overproduce oil either. Wash in the morning and in the evening before going to bed. It’s good skincare regardless.

Use A Moisturizer With Salicylic Acid
The more the better. When washing, you strip away essential oils and nutrients from the skin so replace this by using a moisturizer, even if you have oily skin. The Salicylic acid will form a protective top layer before you put on your makeup that will shield it from the daily grind.

Do A Microdermabrasion Treatment Weekly
Microdermabrasion is a facial technique that scrubs away impuraties and removes dead skin cells that could clog up your pores. This greatly helps reduce blackheads as the treatment will scrub away the blocked pores and open them up. Do this once a week and you will reap the benefits.

Use A Non-Alcohol Based Toner
Since you are using many products that zap out oil and dries up pimples, using a non-alcohol based toner will soothe the skin and hydrate the skin of essential moisture.
