6 Ways to Ban Blackheads


Few things can foul up your goal of flawless, unblemished skin quite like the dreaded blackhead. Unfortunately, you never know just when or where on is going to strike. Usually, it’s at the worst possible time.
Luckily, blackheads aren’t a skin problem that you just have to live with. We asked the skincare and beauty researchers at KristalsCosmetics for their top tips for banishing pimples once and for all. Here’s what they suggested.

#1 Exfoliate Often
Blackheads are the unfortunately result of dirt, oil and dead skin cells building up on your skin over time. And the best way to remove this mess and banish blackheads is with a gentle exfoliating cleanser. Our experts recommend using it twice a week to keep the skin clean and clear.

#2 Don’t Be Afraid of Moisturizer
While quite helpful, exfoliation does have the result of drying out the skin, which can actually lead to irritation and even blackheads at the other end of the spectrum. The right balance of moisture is crucial for the skin, which is why regular moisturizing is equally important in the fight against pimples.

#3 Wash Your Face Right
Prevention is really the best approach to nip blackheads in the bud before they can start. And regular face washing with a mild cleanser is another step in that process. Get in the habit of doing it in the morning and before bedtime.

#4 Try a Mask
The final preventive step is a gentle mask each week to refine your pores and cleanse the skin of impurities. Different masks work for different people, so take some time to find the one that will work best for you.  

#5 Use Salicylic Acid
When blackheads do strike, a salicylic acid gel product that you actually leave on the pimples in often the most effective treatment. By letting the gel stay in place and do its work, you’re more likely to see results faster.

#6 See a Dermatologist
If these steps aren’t working, your dermatologist has a number of options that can help. These include prescription acne medicines as well as medical treatments to safely remove blackheads.
