Preventing Blackheads

 Try washing your face with warm water 3 times a day and use an oil-free cleanser twice a day. 

Go outside and enjoy the sun since it can actually help clear blocked pores. 

If you have oily hair, keep it away from the face to prevent further infection. 

Look for an acne product containing benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl Peroxide has an antibacterial effect that can prevent blackheads from forming. Another blackhead fighter is Retin-A, which can produce the same results as benzoyl peroxide. Retin-A however, can be irritating so be sure to follow the instructions very carefully and use with caution. 

If an over-the-counter remedy isn’t your thing, try applying lemon juice to the affected areas at least twice a day. Another citrus juice that is said to prevent blackheads is lime. You can make a lotion with it by mixing equal amounts of lime juice, tea tree oil and glycerin, and then applying it to the face.
