Unfortunately, blackheads are
something most of us experience thanks to the skin's constant sebum
production and cell turnover. But there are a few things you can do.
Here's How:
-
Alpha hydroxy acids are also a good
first line of defense. They gently
exfoliate skin to prevent cells from building up and clogging pores.
-
There have been mixed reviews on pore
strips. Some love them while
others have complained about losing a strip of skin. If you have
sensitive
skin it might be better to avoid these strips.
-
Head off to the drugstore and look for
salicylic acid cleanser. It will
temporarily remove surface oil and pore-clogging debris.
-
Really stubborn blackheads are best
removed by a dermatologist and
yes... it usually hurts.
-
Retin-A is another defense that you
might want to consider. A little stronger than the hydroxy acids, it
loosens the blackheads while speeding up cell turnover. That means that
skin cells have less of a chance to clog pores.
-
There are lots of home remedies to try.
Here are a few... Mix equal
parts of lime juice, almond oil and glycerine and apply to the face.
-
Beat an egg white until stiff. Add 1 tsp
honey and then apply to area with a cotton swab. Leave for 1/2 hour and
then rinse with warm water.
