Blackheads Removal Tips That Works

Acne treatment is more than just curing pimples and spots. It includes getting rid of blackheads and whiteheads as well.

Blackheads are a type of acne vulgaris and are also known as open comedones. It is mainly caused by excess sebum that clogged the pores.

When excess oils are combined with trapped toxins and subsequently exposed to oxidization, blackhead becomes the result.

Blackheads can become difficult to remove and ugly if they are left too long and untreated. People with oily skin are most susceptible to having blackheads.

Whitehead is yet another type of acne vulgaris. However, unlike blackheads, it is not so obvious.

Whiteheads are mainly caused by excess oils and dead skin cells that clog the pores.

Many people have the habit of squeezing the blackheads and whiteheads on their skin. This type of treatment can be very dangerous as it may cause inflammation and scarring.

It will take time for you to remove blackheads and whiteheads. However, you can use acne products that are effective in removing them without any infection or scarring.

Salicylic Acid - assist in getting rid of bacteria and excess oil. It is a very effective solution for removing blackheads.

AHA - this is very helpful for removing whiteheads and dead skin cells.

Benzoyl Peroxide - not as effective as the above for removing blackheads but it is used commonly for treating pimples.

Accutane - this is used only if you have very severe cystic acne. If possible, try other methods and keep this as a last resort.

Home Remedy - you can also use a face steam to remove whiteheads. Add some essential oils to the steamer. The essential oil can be use for anti bacteria purposes.

Lemon juice can be used as a toner to help reduce excess oil on the skin.

You can also use pore strips to remove loose blackheads and whiteheads. If you combine it with the usage of salicylic acid, you should be able to remove these impurities quite successfully.


Keep in mind not to overuse on the pore strips. It is best to use salicylic acid first and wait till the blackheads are "loosen" before applying the strips.
