Remove the blackhead with a little suction...

Blackheads can look horrible, and they commonly occur on our skin particularly in our teenage years, but many people have less conspicuous blackheads on parts of their skin for instance their nose throughout their life.

Blackheads are caused by dirt, right? Well, actually that is one of the most common myths out there! Actually blackheads are caused by a mix of the oil that is naturally in your skin with dead skin cells, nothing to do with dirt.

And because of that, they are particularly hard to prevent particularly if you have oilier skin, and when they come up they can be quite annoying.

Blackhead Removal


With regard blackhead removal, the best hygienic way is to purchase a special blackhead remover. This is like a little pen that you place over the blackhead and it scoops it up and out, this is a safe and hygienic way.

In terms of blackhead prevention it is quite hard, depending on your skin.

You can certainly keep skin clean and use a good cleaner, which will help to remove the surface oil from skin periodically, this is probably your best bet. There is no real long term solution as far as I'm aware.

Let me know your best blackhead removal tips and I'll add them to this page!
