7 Rules to Prevent Blackheads
1. Exfoliating treatments
Many people underestimate the importance of exfoliating treatments: remember that blackheads are nothing more than the accumulation of dead cells in the pores of the skin. When a follicle becomes inflamed it gives rise to pimples. Acne and pimple problems are closely related to blackheads and scrubbing your face consistently helps us prevent the appearance of blackheads, acne and pimples. Get into the habit of preparing a DIY scrub twice a week. Use gentle and possibly natural exfoliating products that respect the skin. A useful solution is the green clay mask, also indicated for preventing and removing blackheads from the back .
2. Wash your face
Ideally, you should wash your face twice a day. Those with oily skin and acne problems could use a natural sulfur soap. Sulfur-based products are not difficult to find on the market, online you can buy an excellent sulfur soap on Amazon, on this page , for only 8.99 Euros.

3. Drink plenty of water
Hydration is the basis of healthy skin. If you want to eliminate and prevent blackheads , you need to “work from the inside”. One of the simplest natural remedies to eliminate and prevent the appearance of blackheads is proper hydration. On average, it is recommended to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. A well-hydrated body can show off more beautiful and healthy skin. To find out your water needs, consult the table in the article “ How much water to drink per day ”.
4. Eat healthy
“We are what we eat” and this is also true when we talk about the health of our skin. With your daily diet, make sure you get the recommended amount of fruits, vegetables, lean meat and cereals, that is vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
5. Consult a dermatologist
If, even by following our instructions and natural remedies against blackheads , you have not managed to solve the problem of blackheads, consult a dermatologist. Only a professional can prescribe any drugs or targeted treatments.
6. Reduce stress load
Did you know that stress is one of the most common causes of blackheads ? Stress causes hormonal imbalances that in turn cause an overproduction of sebum. If you notice that acne, pimples and blackheads increase during particularly stressful periods (exams, job interviews, important appointments…) try to treat blackheads at the root and rely on aromatherapy, yoga and other relaxing practices. Skin stress is not only caused by the rhythm of our lives but also by the environment: pollution can negatively affect the health of the skin. In the article how to avoid domestic pollution you will find many interesting remedies to ensure the ideal environment for the skin (and the body).
7. Keep your hands away from your face!
It may seem like an absurd rule but… how much do you like rubbing your nose, eyes and then your cheeks? By doing this you move the impurities from one part of your face to another, plus, your hands are almost certainly dirtier than your face and can only cause damage. Before touching your face, at least make sure your hands are very clean.
