You can find home extraction kits in stores. But most medical experts repeat that classic advice: “Don’t try this at home.” A DIY procedure can cause scarring, even if you think you know what you’re doing.
Skin brush A skin brush can help get rid of the built-up debris that contributes to acne. It can also slow the signs of aging. You should always rehydrate your skin after using a skin brush. There are many different skin brushes available to buy. Your dermatologist can tell you if using one may be right for you. They can also tell you what kind to use and how to use them correctly. If you don’t use them the way you should, it can make acne worse.Noncomedogenic products
Most noncomedogenic products don’t contain any oil and don’t block your pores. That lowers your risk of getting blackheads.
You should be able to find cleansers, moisturizers, and makeup that are non-comedogenic.
Blackhead Prevention
To prevent blackheads, try tips such as:
- Wash your face when you get up, before bed, and after you sweat.
- Put non-abrasive cleaners on your skin gently, using your fingertips. Scrubbing with washcloths or sponges can irritate the skin.
- Use alcohol-free skin products.
- Avoid the sun since some acne medicines can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays.
- Shampoo oily hair regularly.
- Limit how many times you touch your face.
- Change pillowcases often.
Also, some studies suggest certain foods can worsen acne. A few of the suspects are skim milk, chocolate, and carbohydrate-rich foods like bread and chips.
Blackhead Treatments to Avoid
Certain treatments won’t work for blackheads. You should avoid oil-based and alcohol-based cleaners.
If you have oily skin, products that have these ingredients can irritate your skin.
If you have normal skin, moisturizers that contain some light oil should be fine. If you have dry skin, oil-based moisturizers may help.
