  • Don't wash your face with water often. That is was causes blackheads.

    If you wash your face with water, it dries it out, which then causes your face to produce more oil which then create more blackheads which you were trying to avoid in the first place.

    Its just a vicious cycle.

  • avoid oily,sugary foods.eat more fruits and vege and more nuts.nuts give you healthy fats unlike other food.use witchhazel it gets rids of blackhead and whiteheads and also minimizes your pores.use a facial scrub twice a week and dont forget to use a facewash that is suitable for your skin.dont use any harsh chemicals.and tone and moisturize after cleasing.drink loads of water and greet tea eat more strawberries as it contains lots of saliclyc acid.

  • Blackheads are caused by excess oils that have accumulated in the sebaceous gland's duct. The substance found in these bumps mostly consists of keratin and modified sebum (an oily secretion of the sebaceous gland), which darkens as it oxidizes.Clogged hair follicles, where blackheads often occur, reflect light irregularly to produce a blackhead's "black" hue.

    First, I would suggest using a clean comedome extractor or blackhead strips to remove the blackheads instead of squeezing them with your fingers as you will just spread more backteria and may end up getting more blackheads.
    Then, you can try deep cleansing products which target blackheads. Also, Exfoliating weekly can get rid of the excess oils which cause blackheads. Most of these products are available from your local supermarket and are relatively inexpensive.

    Severe cases can be treated with oral acne medication.

    I hope my advice helps, and more importantly, I hope you can get rid of those nasty blackheads.

  • How old are you? I used to get horrible white heads. Those are easir you can pop white heads easier. What i would reccomend is washing your face constantly. I know millions of people have already told you that but what i did was.....wash my face in the morning, after school, at night and if i sweat anytime in the day i washed it then. I then proceeded to buy clearasel. Its like a paste and it dries your skin. you need to shower daily and make sure you stay as clean as possible. Try eating less sugary and oily foods. Hope my advice helps.
