Bye Bye Blackheads: Easy tips to banish spots from your nose
Cleanse your face twice a day with a gentle, oil-free cleanser to remove excess oil, dirt, and dead skin cells.
Regular Cleansing
Exfoliating your skin can help remove dead skin cells that contribute to blackheads. Use a mild exfoliant or scrub designed for your skin type, and be gentle to avoid irritation.
Exfoliation

Resist the urge to squeeze blackheads with your fingers, as this can lead to infection and scarring. Always use proper tools and techniques for extraction.
Avoid Squeezing
A dermatologist or licenced aesthetician can safely extract blackheads using specialised tools.
