How to Get Rid of Blackheads With NeoStrata
Overview
Looking in the mirror and seeing blackheads on your face can make you self-conscious about your complexion. Acne can be a nuisance to men and women of all ages. The blemishes result from an overproduction of oil, excess dead skin cells and bacteria, according to Mayo Clinic. Blackheads form when the bacteria, skin cells and oil clog the hair follicle. Fortunately, many over-the-counter treatments are available to fight the war on acne. The NeoStrata brand offers a complete acne care line, including NeoCeuticals products, that claims to unclog pores, remove bacteria and reduce oil in order to clear up blackheads.
Step 1
Wash your skin with a gentle facial cleanser twice a day to clean problem areas. Avoid harsh soaps and scrubs that can make breakouts worse. Wash affected areas with NeoCeuticals Antibacterial Facial Cleanser in the morning and at night. Apply to wet skin and massage into the skin to work up a lather. Rinse the skin and pat dry.
Step 2
Apply the NeoCeuticals Oil Control Gel to clean skin as needed throughout the day. Dab a thin layer on the skin to keep shine under control. Wear under your makeup.
Step 3
Use the NeoCeuticals Acne Spot Treatment Gel directly on breakouts. Apply a thin layer to freshly cleaned skin, up to three times a day.
Step 4
Rub the NeoCeuticals Skin Brighening Gel onto blackheads. Massage a thin layer onto blackheads to help lighten dark spots.
Step 5
Take steps to avoid future breakouts. Don't pick or squeeze blackheads, because this can create scarring. Keep items that touch your face clean, such as your hands and cell phones, suggests Mayo Clinic.
