Oh sheesh, not another blackhead! The fact that you\u2019re here probably means you\u2019ve had enough of these nasty little things. To maintain a clear complexion, a basic skincare routine for men<\/a> is necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, we explain how blackheads form and recommend facial products for efficacious blackhead removal. Say goodbye to clogged pores and hello to clear and healthy skin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are blackheads?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

First up \u2014 what exactly are blackheads? As its name suggests, it\u2019s the nasty black stuff that forms when the hair follicles found on your skin<\/a> get clogged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each follicle typically contains one hair and a sebaceous gland that produces the oil that\u2019s known as sebum, which helps keep your skin soft and healthy. However, when excessive dead skin cells shed by your skin and oils accumulate in the opening of these follicles, it produces a bump called a comedone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the difference between blackheads and whiteheads?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Good question. Well, both are similar, save for one detail \u2014 if the skin over the bump remains intact, the comedone is called a whitehead. However, if the skin around the bump opens up, air will get in. This causes the sebum oil to oxidise and turn black or yellow in colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blackheads only form on oily skin, right?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

No, blackheads do not discriminate. No matter if your skin type is oily, dry or combination, you\u2019re bound to encounter these annoying buggers at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do we remove blackheads and whiteheads then?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Read on for a two-pronged approach to removing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1 A good facial wash <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, choose a good facial wash for men that targets acne and blackheads on your nose, like the Activated Charcoal Soap Bar from The Yellow Bird.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highly rated on by most users, the activated charcoal  acts as a natural detox by absorbing dirt and oil. This in turns help minimise the occurrence of unsightly acne, blackheads and bumps. It also contains natural essential oils of lemongrass and lavender, both of which have antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For something more comprehensive, try the All-In-One Essential Skincare Set<\/a> from Rugged & Dapper, a good starter kit for men who\u2019ve never been serious about their grooming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made from natural and organic ingredients, the trio is suitable for all skin types and comprises the Daily Power Scrub (a nourishing cleanser, foaming exfoliator and energising toner in one), Detoxifying Mineral Clay Facial Mask (draws out impurities and absorb excess oils) and Age + Damage Defense Facial Moisturiser (great as a soothing aftershave too). Use the clay mask once a week to avoid drying out your face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bro tip<\/strong>: Your T-Zone is often the most oily part of your face, and hence more susceptible to blackheads.<\/p>

To prevent clogged pores from forming on areas such as your nose and cheeks, do make sure you wash your face<\/a> thoroughly twice a day \u2014 once in the morning and once at night. It\u2019s especially important if you live in a warm and humid climate like Singapore\u2019s.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
