Acne blackheads are the result of open comedones on your face that are filled with oil and bacteria, which causes the color to appear black with this acne.  There are many different ways of treating blackheads.

No matter how tempting it may be, you should never try to remove acne blackheads yourself.  By touching your face, you are risking spreading the oils in your face and making the area worst.  You should also never use tweezers on anything but eyebrows and splinters so do not try to get rid of blackheads this way.

A peel-off face mask can be a good way to clean blackheads. These masks usually feel like a gel when you initially put them on, but they firm into a rubbery substance that you have to peel off your skin.  While you peel the mask away from your face, you’re removing dirt and oil from your pores.   Do a peel-off mask once every two weeks.

Exfoliating is another great way to help clear blackheads.   While exfoliating your skin is scrubbed by very small grains, which buff away dead skin, allowing newer skin to shine through.  The grains cleanse the pores in a way that a regular facial cleanser cannot, so it’s beneficial to exfoliate one time per week.  You should not exfoliate daily because you risk drying out your skin.

Make sure to wash your face twice per day with a facial cleanser that contains benzyl peroxide.  This ingredient is proven to fight acne efficiently.  In addition, a topical cream that contains salicylic acid can also help clear your skin.

If you follow these tips, you should start seeing less acne blackheads on your face.   If nothing seems to work, contact a facialist or dermatologist to see what options are available to you.  If you’re unable to treat the blackheads at home, a professional will usually have a cure.
