The Best Skin Care Routine For Blackheads (2 of 4)

Cleanse Twice

If you are only washing your face once a day, you can quickly help your skin by doubling up. Cleansing your face twice will ensure that any dead skin and dirt that accumulate through the day are not stuck to your face at all. Be sure to wash your face at night to make sure your pores do not get clogged over night. Oil based cleansers are great for breaking up impurities without clogging pores. Follow this with a gentle foam face wash.

Incorporate Salicylic Acid

People who are prone to oilier skin can find relief with salicylic acid. This ingredient is great for breaking down sebum build up and will increase exfoliation of the skin. Trapped oil and other impurities are easily removed by salicylic acid, which can all reduce blackheads. But if you are not prone to oily skin, or have sensitive skin, salicylic acid is not something you will need to use.
