Blackheads—they’re tiny, stubborn, and always seem to show up at the worst time. Caused by clogged pores filled with oil, dirt, and dead skin, blackheads turn dark when exposed to air. They love to hang out on your nose, chin, and forehead—and they’re not easy guests to get rid of.
But here’s the good news: you can clear them out and keep them away with the right routine.
Start by washing your face twice a day with a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser to keep oil and buildup in check. Exfoliate regularly with salicylic acid—it gets deep into pores and helps clear blockages. Want a bonus glow? Use a clay mask once a week to absorb excess oil and detox your skin.
For instant blackhead removal, pore strips or extraction tools can work—but be careful. Overdoing it can irritate your skin. If you’re unsure, leave it to a pro.
Prevention is key: choose lightweight, oil-free products, and always remove your makeup before bed. Clean pillowcases and makeup brushes often—they’re sneaky sources of buildup.
Stick with it, and you’ll be on your way to soft, clear, radiant skin—no filters needed.
