Struggling with blackheads? Don’t worry, you’re not alone – it’s an issue that is faced by most of us at some point in our lives. Blackheads seem to be most common on the face, which can really knock our confidence levels. In some cases, they can even be classified as mild acne. You may also be experiencing blackheads on the chin, nose, or other parts of the body, which is completely normal. Luckily, it is possible to remove blackheads at home!
An outbreak of blackheads can be a temporary problem, and if handled correctly, you can gain back your smooth and flawless complexion in no time. Let’s hear some advice from the RY team, and take a look at some of their best recommendations…

Tips for reducing the risk of blackheads
Tackling blackheads is extremely doable…but if you can avoid developing them in the first place, this is even better. Don’t get us wrong – sometimes, it’s simply unavoidable. However, there are certain measures you can take to keep your skin happy and healthy, which will hopefully reduce the risk of blackheads.
Tip one
Drink lots of water! This will keep the skin hydrated, meaning oil blocks will be kept at bay as much as possible.
Tip two
Exfoliate! If it isn’t already, we recommend adding exfoliation to your daily skincare routine. Use something with natural ingredients, as this will alleviate grime and dead skin cells. If you already have an area that has been affected by blackheads, focus on this area.
Tip three
Keep your skin as clean as possible at all times. We’re all tempted by the allure of makeup, especially if we’ve already been affected by blackheads. However, this can make your skin worse, as it needs time to breathe. If you do wear makeup on a daily basis, make sure it is thoroughly removed and your face has been properly washed before you to go bed.
Tip four
Always buy the right products, like our recommendations listed above. Choosing products that are likely to clog the pores will rarely make your skin healthier, and it’ll tend to make it worse.
