Blackheads are a common skin issue, especially around the nose. They form when pores get clogged with oil, dead skin, and dirt. Check out a few simple steps, and you can remove them at home without damaging your skin. Tap to read!
Steam Your Face
Use hot water in a basin or burn it in a facial steamer to open up pores and then easily rid them of blackheads.
Exfoliate
Gently scrub the nose with a mild exfoliator in order to remove dead skin cells from the surface and de-clog pores.
Apply a Clay Mask
Clay masks (bentonite, kaolin) are used to absorb excess oils and impurity deposits from pores.
Gently Extract Blackheads
After steaming, press and extract can either blackhead-removal tools or fingers wrapped in tissue.
Moisturise
Follow up with a light, non-comedogenic moisturiser to keep the skin hydrated and balanced.
