Black heads can occur to anyone, irrespective of the age. So, whether you are adolescent or adult, you are prone to black heads. However, you do not need to worry about this ugly thing. There are ways to get rid of it. Here are some really effective methods to keep black heads at bay. Try them out and see the difference.
Instructions
- Keep you face clean and oil-free. Make use of naturally prepared cleansers or astringent solutions to achieve this. Make sure you do not apply any cream that leaves an oily finish.
- The best way to keep black head away is to keep the dead cells off your skin. Use gentle exfoliant for keeping the dead cells away from the pore openings.
- Go for creams that contain AHA’s (Alpha Hydroxyl Fruit acids) like glyco-creams. These creams can be really helpful in clearing away dead skin cells and “exposing” the blackhead. You can use the AHA’s every 4 days a week.
- Clay masks too can help prevent blackheads in oily skin. It is a home remedy that has benefited many. However, make sure to avoid masks that contain peppermint or other mint. This can cause irritation to the skin.

You can also try to remove the black heads by applying a warm compress of water to the affected area, followed by a very gentle pressure. This can result in clearing the clog from the pore. - Commercial “blackhead strips” available in the market is specially designed for removing the black heads over the nose portion. If you plan to go for this strip make sure to read the directions completely and carefully.
- There are other treatments like chemical peel that are provided by doctors. This treatment removes the top layer of skin from the face, thereby leaving fresh-looking new skin behind. However, this does not prevent blackheads from coming back. This is a harsh treatment, and hence recommended only if all other treatments fail.
Tips to Remember
- Avoid using make-up on skin that is prone to blackheads. If at all you need to use go for a hypo-allergenic brand cosmetics.
- Say no to oily food items. Instead eat foods that are rich in beta-carotene, like carrots and other yellow-orange fruits and vegetables.
- Don’t scrape or squeeze black heads. It will cause more inflammation in the area and make matters worse for you.
