How To Avoid Blackheads and Whiteheads

Blackheads and whiteheads are often the result of clogged pores and dead skin cells

Here are a few ways to avoid blackheads and whiteheads

Face scrub

It is advised that you use a face scrub at least once as it helps open up clogged pores that cause acne, pimples, whiteheads and blackheads

Remove makeup before exercising

Always remove makeup before you exercise. Also avoid touching your face with your hands during your workout as it transfers dirt and bacteria to your skin

Use skincare products with salicylic acid in consultation with your dermatologist. It is a common acne-fighting ingredient that helps manage blackheads and whiteheads

Balanced diet

Consuming a balanced diet is good for your overall health and skin. Avoid oily and processed foods as they cause acne and pimples
