Blackheads

I’ve found products that work well and keep my blackheads from becoming worse but I have not been able to find anything that will remove them! What is something g that I can do or that is strong enough to reach into my pores and dig out the gunk??

1. Cleanse with salicylic acid Instead of benzoyl peroxide, look for over-the-counter (OTC) products that contain salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is the preferred ingredient for treating blackheads and whiteheads because it breaks down the materials that clog pores : -excess oil -dead skin cells 2. Gently exfoliate with AHAs and BHAs For blackheads, though, regular exfoliation can help remove excessive amounts of dead skin cells that can lead to clogged pores. The process may also gently remove existing blackheads. Rather than looking for harsh scrubs, you’ll want to focus on alpha and beta hydroxy acids (AHAs and BHAs). Glycolic acid is the most common type of AHA, and salicylic acid is a prominent BHA. 3.Try topical retinoids Retinoids may be useful for stubborn cases of acne by helping to unplug pores. This process can also make other OTC products more effective by helping them to be better able to enter the follicle. But if you’ve got dry skin, Britt Kimmins recommends avoiding strong exfoliants, like retinoids, altogether. 4.Use a clay mask Clay masks help to draw oils and toxins out of the skin, which helps to unclog pores, says Britt Kimmins. Clay masks are often considered must-haves for oily skin. Some clay masks also contain sulfur. Sulfur is another ingredient that works to break down the dead skin cells that make up blackheads.

You can use a salicylic acid product or a clay mask to get rid of them. I'd recommend trying these products out since they were helpful in treating my acne, blackheads, and whiteheads. ❤️

I would also recommend going for a salicylic acid - it’s oil soluble, so it reaches deep into the pore and gets rid of oil/sebum buildup 🥰
