Useful Tips for treating whiteheads:

• Remember: whiteheads should be extracted by an experienced esthetician or dermatologist.
• To prevent whiteheads from forming in the first place, you should use a mild facial cleanser that is oil-free and wash your face at least twice a day.
• Never squeeze or pick at a pimple as doing so may spread the inflammation and leave an ugly red scar behind.
• Use a face cream or moisturizer containing salicylic acid.
• Always look for antibacterial skin care and cosmetic products.
• Use skin care products with benzyl peroxide, salicylic acid or AHAs.
• It’s essential to keep your skin clean all the time in order to prevent the formation of whiteheads.
• Drink plenty of water to keep your skin and body hydrated and to remove the toxins from your skin.
• Always apply a toner after cleansing your face in the morning and in the evening to close the pores.
• Remember: there is a difference between a blackhead and a whitehead, blackheads are partly blocked pores and the fully blocked pores are called whiteheads.
• Never try to remove whiteheads at home – this may lead to serious skin infections and permanent scarring.
• Remember: usually the whiteheads go away by themselves in a few days.
• Never forget to remove your makeup in the evening; otherwise this may clog the pores resulting in blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and rash appearance.
• Never use harsh facial cleansers, soaps or lotions.
• Always look for noncomedogenic and nonacnegenic skin care and makeup products.
• Like the blackheads, the whiteheads can be seen on the areas around the face, especially around the nose, eyes, cheeks and forehead.
• Never use oil-based makeup precuts as they may contribute to the buildup of oil in the follicles.
• Always apply moisturizer after washing your face.
• Don’t forget to exfoliate your skin once or twice a week with a mild exfoliator to remove the dead skin cells.
• Remember: the appearance of your skin is influenced mainly by your skin care routine.
• Always wear a sunscreen or sunblock with SPF at least 15, even during the winter months to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays.
• Avoid touching your face with dirty hands – you can transform bacteria and cause inflammation.
• Remember: the best way to prevent whiteheads is to keep your skin clean and well moisturized all the time.
• Regular facials can help prevent whiteheads because they will keep your pores clean.
• Do a cleansing face mask once or twice a week.
