Blackheads (comedones) form due to excessive activity of the sebaceous glands and the accumulation of dead skin cells. They often appear on the nose, forehead, and chin. The black color is caused by the oxidation of oil in the pores when exposed to air.
Experts recommend regular skin cleansing to get rid of blackheads. Wash your face twice a day with a gentle gel or foam, and use a scrub or peel 1–2 times a week. Products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can help dissolve oil and unclog pores.
At home, you can steam your face and gently remove blackheads with sterile tools, but avoid overdoing it to prevent skin irritation or inflammation.
A healthy diet, adequate water intake, and stress reduction also have a positive effect on skin health. If blackheads are too numerous, it is best to see a dermatologist.
