How to Get Rid of Blackheads



When you’ve always had to cope with your excessively oily skin, it’s hard not to envy those who have flawless, blemish-free complexions.  Sure they must have been blessed with better genes but, it could also be that they’re just taking better care of their skin than you do.

The truth hurts.  But, then again, even if you have been doing everything by the book, it is in the nature of blemishes, blackheads included, to be unpredictably pesky.

What is causing your troubles with blackheads?


Arggh, plenty!  It is the combination of the genes you inherited, your wildly fluctuating hormones, stress, the food you eat, medications that you take, products that you use, even the dirt and dust around the environment where you live, work and play.  So, if you’re wondering how to get rid of blackheads once and for all, it takes tackling all of these — except the first factor which you can’t really do much about.

All of these factors come together to send your oil glands into overdrive, clog your skin and invite blemish causing bacteria to worsen an already bad situation for your skin.  Excess oils sitting on your pores eventually combine with oxygen which gives blackheads its dark, oxidized color.

Practicing good hygiene and keeping your face clean is a great start.  Stop touching your blackheads with your dirty fingers all the time!  Don’t poke and don’t squeeze.  Give your skin a refreshing cleanse but never more than thrice daily for your oily skin.  If you feel that it dries out your skin, cut back to twice only but not any less than that.

Practice good skincare habits that does not involve any harsh products that irritate your skin and block your pores.  For your oily, acne-prone skin, make sure that you have alpha hydroxy acids in your regimen.  Stay away from cream-based, oil-based and alcohol-based products as well which will only cause your skin to become even greasier.

Step 4:  Pour the boiling water into a large basin and place your face on top of it to catch the steam.  Let the steam lift away those blackheads and other impurities in your skin.  About 5 minutes into the process, take your facial brush and begin to slough off gently.  Rinse with lukewarm water then pat dry.

Step 5: Pick up the soaked rice paper and place it on your face.  Leave on for at least 15 minutes before peeling away.  Cleanse skin using a cotton soaked in lukewarm water.

Follow through with your daily serum and moisturizer.

Conclusion
