Blackheads, or ‘open comedones’, are blocked pores that may resemble tiny specks of dirt, but in fact they are areas where a mixture of sebum and cells have darkened in contact with the air. They appear most commonly on the nose and central part of the face, in an area known as the T-zone, and can be difficult to get rid of.
However, while they can seem to be incredibly persistent, knowing how to get rid of blackheads and reduce blocked pores can help clear your skin.
Taking off your makeup every night is important for all skin types, and for blemish-prone skin it’s especially beneficial.
