3 Tips for Banishing Blackheads

1.  DON'T STRIP

Wash your skin with a non-stripping cleanser.  Oilier skin types will need to cleanse their skin in the morning and at night, while dryer skin types may only need to cleanse their skin at night.  When you use a cleanser that is free of harsh detergents like SLS (Sodium Laurel Sulfate) you leave your skin's natural oils intact and avoid dehydrated skin.  Dehydrated skin can become an oil factory, pumping out oil in order to try to protect itself from further dehydration.  Therefore, clogging the pores and making more blackheads. 
2.  SAY YES TO MOISTURE
Moisturize your skin morning and night.  Keeping your skin hydrated helps keep your pores clear by softening the natural oil in your pores.  When the oil in your pores remains soft it is able to go onto the surface of the skin and lubricate it.
3.  HYDRATE
Drink enough water to hydrate your body.  This benefits the skin by not only keeping it more hydrated, but also helps your body flush out toxins.  Both of these things will keep your skin looking its best and decrease the likelihood of developing more blackheads.
