Why it happens
Blackheads are pores filled with oil and dead skin. The top darkens when it meets air. Oily skin, heavy products and skipped makeup removal make them more likely.
A simple plan
- Visit 1: a cleansing facial.
- Repeat every 4 to 6 weeks.
- Use gentle exfoliation at home once or twice a week.
At home
- Don’t squeeze at home. It can leave marks.
- Use a gentle exfoliant once or twice a week, not daily scrubs.
- Remove makeup every night.
- Choose products labeled non-comedogenic.
Questions
Will blackheads come back?
Pores refill over time. Regular facials and a good routine keep them in check.
Do pore strips work?
They pull out the top of the blackhead, but can irritate skin. A professional facial clears more gently.
Can you shrink pores?
Pore size is mostly genetic, but clean pores look smaller.
Is it OK to use pore strips?
Now and then is fine, but they can irritate skin. A professional cleansing facial clears pores more gently.
