Before falling into the temptation to catch them between your fingers and squeeze them thoroughly, follow these tips to prevent them and, if necessary, remove them without the remedy being worse than the disease.

To clean the face … is any product useful?

Facial cleansing is the first step in preventing blackheads and preventing them from reappearing. We know that it is complicated but, once you get used to doing it, you will see how you notice your skin much better. Does any product work? The answer is no. If your skin is oily or combination –which is where the problem of clogged pores tends to occur most–, thoroughly cleanse your skin, morning and night, with products that require rinsing. This Eucerin cleansing gel is non-comedogenic, acts on hyperkeratosis (the accumulation of dead cells that cover the exit of the pore) and eliminates excess oil.

Mattifying cream

After your daily cleansing, it is very important to choose well the moisturizer or treatment cream that you use next.

Get a scrub

Get a scrub once a week with a product with microparticles, such as jojoba or bamboo powder. In case your skin is very sensitive, use better enzymatic scrubs (with active ingredients of papaya, pineapple). Then, take the opportunity to apply a mask with charcoal, seaweed or clay. It will enhance the purifying effect and help regulate sebum so that blackheads do not reappear. When choosing the scrub, make sure it contains keratolytic active ingredients : they help speed up the removal of dead cells so that new blackheads or pimples do not form. Among them are glycolic acid and salicylic acid, present in this exfoliating product from Bioderma.

Like this one from Dermolab , with fruit acids, which even includes hyaluronic acid, with hydrating properties.
