I use to have a LOT.
Now what I do once a week is :
1. wash my face with a face cleanser
2. exfoliate with a apricot scrub
3. Steam for 5 to 10 minutes
4. use an astrigent with a coton swab
5. put on a benzoyl peroxide gel
6. moisterize with water based face moisteriser
I do that once a week and I have no more problem with that.
Both blackheads and whiteheads form because of excess skin cells being shed and plugging your pores. In order to prevent blackheads from forming in the first place, exfoliate your skin on a regular basis with something like a basic apricot scrub. This will help remove the dead skin cells before they get the chance to clog your pores.
For those blackheads or whiteheads that already exist, there are many products on the market that claim to be able to help you remove those pesky blemishes. Try pore strips from companies like Ponds or Neutrogena. They can remove debris from the pores without risk of damaging the skin. Avoid pushing on the blocked pores as you might push the blackhead or whitehead deeper into the pore and that can result in infection.
keep your skin clean by washing it regularly or if youve got sensitive skin or just dont like using soap use a facial cleanser. to clean deep into your pores to stop the blackheads a facial scrub should help to keep your pores clean
there isnt really anything you can do to get rid of them once and for all, just keep your skin clean :)

I wish.
I don’t think so, though. Unless you get rid of them and then religiously wash and ‘steam-out’ your face.
I really don’t think you could just do one thing and then never have to bother about them again.
