How To Get Rid of Blackheads & Whiteheads?

Blackheads are a type of acne . They’re open bumps on the skin that fill with excess oil and dead skin. They look as if dirt is in the bump, but an irregular light reflection off the clogged follicle actually causes the dark spots.

Blackheads typically affect teenagers and young adults undergoing hormonal changes. However, many adults continue to have acne into their 20s, 30s and beyond. Some even develop blackheads for the first time as adults.

Treat your Skin from Black Head:

  1. Skin Brush

Use a skin brush to exfoliate your skin and remove the dead skin cells. Doctors suggest to use the brushes once a week with a mild cleansing face wash. You can get a variety of skin brushes over the counter according to your needs and budget.

  1. Benzoyl Peroxide

Benzoyl peroxide works well for spot treatment as well as a full facial treatment. It reduces excess sebum and kills the bacteria inside your skin pores.

  1. Salicylic Acid

Salicylic acid  also helps reduce sebum production, which dries out your skin and removes the dead skin cells. It is considered to be the most effective treatment for whiteheads.

  1. Retinoid Creams

Retinoids are a great source of vitamin A. Along with treating blackheads and whiteheads, retinoids have anti-ageing properties. Retinoid cream can be used all over your face. Retinoids tend to make your skin sensitive to the sun. Therefore, always take the required precautions and apply sunscreen before going out during the day.

  1. Charcoal mask

Charcoal masks dig deep into your skin and bring out all the excessive oil and dirt from your skin pores. It helps to unclog your pores and removes blackheads and whiteheads gently.

  1. Clay Mask

Clay masks also draw the extra sebum from your skin pores. It helps you get rid of the toxins and clears your skin pores, treating the black or whiteheads issue.

Clay masks work best for oily skin people. Few clay mask products have sulfur in it, which is a rock-solid ingredient to fight against blackheads. Apply it once in a week.
