How to Ditch Blackheads for GoodFollow this step-by-step guide to rid your skin of stubborn blackheads and get clear skin — finally |
Remove Blackheads by Toning Post-cleanse, balance your skin with a toner. This will help improve the shape of your pores. Go for an alcohol-free product that contains Totarol (from the Totara tree which is antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial), says Lena Bratschi, a trained esthetician and founder of Carasoin Spa in Beverly Hills, California. This puts back the acid mantle (basically it restores the pH of your skin).
Try Astara Blue Flame Purifying Toning Mist, $39, or Jurlique Purely Bright Mist, $39.

I bought the Citrus Clear Grapefruit Spot Treatment to reduce the oil on my combination skin and to get rid of some of my blackheads. Yes! You can use the Citrus Clear spot treatment as a mask as well! My dermatologist told me this, and I am so happy about it! I rinse with lots of warm water to open my pores and then use the Citrus Clear Grapefruit Spot Treatment. About half of my blackheads go away each time I use it! It's a fantastic product and I'm addicted.

Steam will loosen blackheads so that these other tips work more effectively. There will be no scarring or damage from it, either.

I have the most difficulty resisting the urge to pick. I needed reminders about that, and steam treatments and vitamin B3.

I am constantly fighting blackheads so these tips have been insightful. I have used masks with kaolin and I agree that they help draw out the impurities and blackheads from the skin. I only wish the effects lasted.

Definitely good tips. Mine really cleared up when I added a mask using a Thai clay and lemon juice. I also scrub with sugar and coconut oil.
