Before someone has an acne break-out, they will often develop blackheads. This is why it’s so important to seize the opportunity to get rid of them, before your face is covered with acne.

So in this article, I’m going to provide you with the steps to get rid of blackheads and stop the acne outbreak before it’s had a chance. Read the steps through first and then get what you need to complete the steps.

Begin by washing your hands really well with hot water and soap. Then you’ll need to start to wash your face and clean out your pores. You should try to get as much oil off your face as you can and wash thoroughly for a good few minutes. Then follow this up by cleansing your face with a good cleanser lotion.

Next, you should use a clay mask to place on the face. But make sure that it doesn’t contain stuff like mint and peppermint because this can react badly with your blackheads. What this does is gets rid of all the excess oil which you most likely have on your face. Once you’ve had it on there for a while, take it off and use oil absorbing tissue to clean and dry your face.

Now that you have completed the last step, your face should no longer have any excess oil on it. But if you just leave it as it is, you’ll find that in a few weeks in will build up again. So you need to take steps that will prevent the build up. This usually involves taking supplements which can be prescribed by your dermatologist.

By now, you should have everything you need to remove your blackheads. But if for some reason you can’t manage to get a clay mask or you’d just like to try something else, you can use hot steam as a kind of alternative. It isn’t as effective but by filling up a basin full of hot water and then standing over it, you’ll find that it does soften up your skin. You can also use exfoliant and then bandage it up for a night.
