HOW TO AVOID BLACKHEADS

There may not be a permanent cure for blackheads but you can surely reduce them by applying a cream such as benzoyl peroxide 2.5 per cent or adapalene gel. If the skin gets too dry, apply these creams on alternate nights. Uses a face wash with salicylic acid which is a good exfoliate. Use an apricot scrub once a week to remove the excess skin cells on the skin surface (so they don’t build up in the pore) and exfoliate inside the pore. You could get the blackheads removed once in a month at a skin clinic or a beauty parlor. You could also go for microdermabrasion once a month.
