Blackheads are not only unsightly but can cause further skin issues if left untreated. There are various ways to treat blackheads. Yet, the best measure is to prevent blackheads from forming in the beginning. This moment may not allow us to book a professional extraction service, but we can still gain knowledge and tips on treating blackheads. So, while you wait, we will be sharing our knowledge of blackheads and how to maintain clear pores at home.
What are Blackheads?
Blackheads or ‘comedones’ are small, dark bumps that form out of clogged hair follicles. When oil (or ‘sebum’) and dead skin cells become trapped in the opening of a hair follicle, the skin forms a small, dark bump called a ‘comedo’. Blackheads often affect persons with oily or acne-prone skin.
How to Prevent Blackheads
It’s always better to prevent getting blackheads than treating it. To prevent comedones from forming in the skin, you should really focus on maintaining a proper skincare routine.
In this routine, it’s important to ensure that your pores stay clean, clear and are allowed to breathe. Toners or astringents do an excellent job in dissolving oil and impurities found deep beneath the skin’s surface. In addition, astringents work to keep the pores tight, to prevent oil from being trapped in hair follicles. Our Clarifying Gel does wonders treating acne and preventing blackheads. Infused with Lactic acid and Wheat Germ Oil, this gel is a great astringent for melting away impurities, tightening the pores and giving a luminous glow. Here other ways you can prevent blackheads:

And while peel-off masks may look appealing, the harshness can cause irritation and strip the skin of natural oils and hairs meant to protect the skin. Here are ways you can treat blackheads:
