Blackheads can happen to anyone, no matter what your skin type. Blackheads are caused by oil in your skin that gets caught and expands in the pores. Oxidizing from exposure to the air, the oil actually turns black.
what works for some people might not work for everyone but here are some things that you can consider.~
First, stop the problem before it starts. Use noncomedogenic, oil-free, water-based skin-care products. (Noncomedogenic means the products were laboratory tested and approved by the FDA not to clog pores and cause blackheads.)
If you change your skin-care routine and still get blackheads, speak to a dermatologist about getting a prescription for Retin-A, which is a strong exfoliant that opens pores, sloughs off dead skin and cleans out blackheads.
If all else fails, a dermatologic facial performed at a dermatologist's office involves a prescription-strength acid that gets rid of dead layers of skin and the use of surgical instruments to extract the blackheads.
Blackheads are a problem that should be treated by a dermatologist. But, if you want to try an over-the-counter product, a lot of people rave about Biore Pore Perfect Strips, which are supposed to lift out blackheads on your nose, forehead and chin.
Hope this helps~How do u prevent blackhead?
biore strips, and wash your face with an astringent everyday
stay away from the ghetto
try proactive solution it helps
Blackheads are caused by excess oil getting clogged in your pores. The way to avoid them is to wash with a gentle facial cleanser. If you don't have acne (whiteheads), then avoid benzoyl peroxide solutions, because the problem isn't bacteria, but oily pores. Something mild like Neutrogena will prevent your skin from drying out and producing even more oil to compensate. It's important to not wash too aggressively. Makeup can contribute to blackheads because it may clog your pores, so avoid wearing heavy makeup. Gentle exfoliation is also key, so try a mild scrub once every two or three days. Avoid getting hairstyling products on your face. And don't touch your face unless you're washing, because your hands get dirty from all the things you touch through the day, and you can transfer bacteria and dirt to your face that way.
Exfoliation and washing your face everyday. I use that 3-step skincare system from Clinique. It really works. And so does Pro Active.
try using a koalin clay masque to open the pores and really clean out your skin...
the heated mask from The Body Shop is the best one I have tried but it is a little expensive...
if you can find Queen Helene products...the Mint Julep Masque is really nice and not too expensive...
also, deep cleanse and mosturise with a light, oil-free moisturiser morning and night...Olay for blemish prone skin is nice or try Neutrogena...
Use a mild exfoliator a few times a week and wash your face every night.
if i did i would tell u but quite frankly i have the same issue.
