It's tough growing up with acne. Even worse, it's hard to look in the mirror and see ugly blackheads. After years of having acne, I ended up learning from the top acne experts so that I can deal with this problem that affected my life. You don't have to spend a bunch of time doing what I did. Here are 5 methods that I've used for getting rid of blackheads safely:
Washing Your Face
I understand that this may sound like common sense, but how many people do this when they should? When I was in high school, we had physical education. It didn't really matter if we just came back from running a mile or went through a good workout, the girls didn't wash up afterwards. It was kind of hectic getting all prepared for the next class.
My rule is to wash your face in the morning, in the evening, and when you really should do it. That includes washing your face after exercising. Pick up a skin cleanser from your local department store that is especially made for morning and night time cleansing. Some cleansers are so strong that you don't want to use them so often. In fact, some can actually dry out your skin and make it harder to remove the blackheads. Make this a habit and you'll get rid of blackheads and prevent them from showing up again.
Using Olive Oil
Some people say that you shouldn't use anything oily on your skin. The truth is that your skin produces oil when your body thinks that your skin needs it. What you want to do is take care of your skin and wash it on a daily basis or when needed.
Olive oil works as a natural moisturizer. By massaging it on your face, you'll naturally rub it away. Since the olive oil works as a lubricant, you can massage your skin vigorously without causing any harm to your skin.
Using Biore
Biore can be used in more ways that clearing up oil from your skin. If you're not familiar with it, it's simply a piece of paper with a special adhesive. This adhesive, activated by water, helps pull out dirt and oil from the users face. However, it has more uses than that.
So here's the way to remove blackheads. Take a warm towel and apply it to the area with the blackhead. This will help open up skin pores and allow the blackhead to come out easier. Then, apply the Biore strip to that area. After ten-fifteen minutes, remove the strip lightly. This will pull the blackhead away from the skin.
Using a Facial Scrub
This is a simple and easy method. The trick is to use a facial scrub that contains exfoliators. If you've never used one before, it has somewhat of a gritty texture. You can use this with warm water and rub it over the blackhead. This will help loosen it up. In a matter of time, the blackhead will be removed from your skin.
Using a Blackhead Removal Tool
You can find this tool in many department stores for around $15. Before using this, make sure that it is clean. Then use a warm towel or warm steam to open up the pores. Then use the tool to remove your blackhead. Make sure that you follow the instructions that are provided.
