Dealing with blackheads and whiteheads can be frustrating, but there are effective methods for removal and prevention. Here’s a guide to help with both:
Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells, which can clog pores and lead to blackheads and whiteheads. Use a gentle exfoliator that contains:
- Salicylic Acid: A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates pores and helps clear out oil and debris.
- Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA): Works on the surface of the skin to remove dead skin cells, preventing pores from clogging.
How to Exfoliate:
- Do it 2-3 times a week.
- Use gentle scrubs or chemical exfoliators with 2-3% salicylic acid.
- Apply a thin layer to the affected areas.
- Leave it on for 10-15 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water.
- Use 1-2 times a week for best results.
