1. Use a Gentle, Non-Comedogenic Cleanser
Cleansing twice a day helps remove excess oil and debris without stripping the skin. Look for cleansers containing:
- Salicylic acid (exfoliates inside pores)
- Benzoyl peroxide (targets acne-causing bacteria)
- Niacinamide (soothes redness and regulates oil)
๐งด Avoid harsh soaps or alcohol-based products, which can cause irritation.
2. Incorporate Chemical Exfoliants Safely
- BHAs (like salicylic acid) penetrate pores to help dissolve blackhead-forming debris.
- AHAs (like glycolic acid) exfoliate the skinโs surface to improve texture.
Use 2โ3 times a week and start slowly to avoid over-exfoliating.
3. Try Clay Masks Weekly
Clay masks with kaolin or bentonite can help absorb oil and draw out impurities from pores, reducing the appearance of blackheads.
4. Use Non-Prescription Retinoids
OTC retinoids like adapalene (Differin) promote healthy skin turnover, which helps prevent and treat both acne and blackheads.
โ ๏ธ Retinoids can cause dryness or irritation initiallyโstart with small amounts and gradually increase use.
5. Practice Hands-Off Skincare
Avoid squeezing, picking, or using metal extractors at home. Improper extractions can:
- Damage skin
- Cause inflammation
- Spread bacteria
- Lead to permanent scarring.
