Newest Skin Care Treatments for Blackheads

Skin produces a variety of substances on a daily basis: sweat, sebum and even dead skin cells. In an ideal situation, the amount of sebum, or oil, produced by the skin is consistent. Unfortunately, overproduction of sebum is a common skincare woe, leaving a shiny layer of oil on the skin and, under the right circumstances, a blackhead. With a few additions to a daily skincare routine, anybody can keep current blackheads at bay and prevent new ones from forming.

Firstly, what causes this surge of excess oil? There are a variety of possibilities: excessively hot, humid weather, an overabundance of androgens (male hormones); also, a build-up of unexfoliated skin cells can add to the blockage.

The good news is that there are many treatment options for blackheads. Start with a daily cleanser that is targeted for oily skin. Depending upon skin type, exfoliate at least once a week for dry skin, and 2-3 times a week for oily skin with a manual exfoliator.

For very oily, acne-prone skin, a second application of beta-hydroxy (BHA), or salicylic acid, can greatly improve the appearance of blackheads, as well as reduce their occurrence.

Manual extraction is another common remedy for blackheads. Extractions, normally done during a facial, are the forcible removal of the blackhead from the pore with an extractor -- a small pronged tool with loops on either end.
