If you’re remotely interested in skincare at all, you know that popping pimples or extracting blackheads is a big no-no. But what’s a girl to do when she wants to clear her pores of sebum, oil, and other debris?
You can of course, pay a visit to your dermatologist, as it’s the safest and most effective way to get rid of blackheads, whether that’s through microdermabrasion or classic extractions.
However, if you’re here, you’re likely looking for a quick, affordable fix that you can do at home. The good news is that you’ve got plenty of options.
What are blackheads?
We all know what blackheads look like, but what are they? Blackheads are a type of acne that results from sebum, oil, dead skin cells, and other debris clogging the hair follicles in your skin.
Blackheads happen to everyone, but there are a few factors that can exacerbate the development of blackheads. These factors include hormones, stress, diet, using overly oily products, and improperly cleansing your skin, to name a few.
