When it comes to male grooming, especially taking care of your face, few things just can’t be ignored. Moisturising your skin, managing acne and skin oils and shaving using the right technique are some of the ways that can help you achieve great looking skin. However, even when you are taking care of your skin properly, there are chances that an unwanted blackhead or two would pop up somewhere on your face. Although it is quite distressing, it happens!
Here are few tips on how to clean clogged pores and remove blackheads to regain a clear, healthy skin-
-
Step Away from the Strips
Many of us consider those strips to be helpful in removing blackheads. Though the skin strips may work in the short term to get rid of offending blackheads, they do nothing to treat the root of the problem—the skin oils, dirt, and dead cells that are buried deep inside your pores. In the short term, these strips aren’t good for your soft skin, especially if it’s already vulnerable due to breakouts, dryness or sunburn

Exfoliate Regularly
While dirt and oil are often seen as the biggest culprits, in reality it’s often your own dead skin cells that choke pores and make it worst. For that very reason, exfoliating, also known as scrubbing, is a must if your skin is particularly blackhead-prone. Exfoliation removes the dead skin cells from the surface to reveal the new skin cells beneath. So, consider exfoliation twice a week using a good scrub.

Moisturise
Maybe you don’t know, but men need to moisturise their skin even more than most women do. While shaving when you scrape that razor across your skin, you aren’t removing the facial hair but also removing the necessary oils. Using a moisturiser will help replenish your skin’s moisture content and will also keep skin cells healthier for longer, so they’re less likely to find themselves buried in your pores.

Give Yourself a Men’s Facial
While many of you think that facials are a woman’s thing, getting a men’s facial will help you get rid of those unwanted blackheads. You don’t need to go to the spa to treat yourself to a facial. You can do this in the comfort of your home. A men’s facial not only helps prevent and get rid of blackheads, but also leaves your face feeling refreshed.
Keeping these above mentioned things in mind will help you treat the blackheads the right way and regain a healthy, charming, and refreshed appearance.
