How do you prevent blackheads?

Answer by  bradensmom (204)

Blackheads can be prevented by exfoliating your skin regularly. Use a gentle face scrub several times every week and make sure to rinse it off completely after use. There are scrubs made specifically for blackhead prevention. Wipe your face with astringent applied to a cotton ball after you use the scrub for extra cleansing.

There is not much you can do in the way of prevention. Hot weather, sweating and hormones seem to encourage them. Perhaps most sensible is "blackhead maintenance," which involves gently expressing their contents.
