Blackheads and whiteheads are very common.

However, one cannot ignore the fact that they still are skin damage, sitting on the surface of the skin.

In this article, we will be sharing some easy tips which you can implement in your life to prevent blackheads and whiteheads.

Wash Your Face Twice

• Blackheads and whiteheads are a cause of not following a proper cleansing routine.
• Due to our hectic schedule, we most often than not forget to cleanse our face and instead hit the bed straight away.
• However, you must cleanse your face at least twice every day for best results.
• It is also important to rinse the face after exercising.
• Make sure you use products which best suit your skin type.

Try Pore Strips

• While there is a constant debate on whether you can use a pore strip or not, I always find myself using them as it helps a great deal.
• Apart from removing black and whiteheads, it also removes dead skin cells which clog the pores and cause acne.
• The best way to use the pore strip is to steam beforehand.
• This opens the pore and makes removing black and whiteheads, easy.

Use Oil-free Sunscreen

• Sunscreen is the most important part of skincare.
• However, everyone can accept the fact that it is very greasy.
• This can leave residue on the skin which can cause clogged pores and with those blackheads as well as whiteheads.
• Choosing sunscreen which is non-greasy and also oil-free can help form a protective layer whilst protecting the skin from damage.

Cleanse Right
