Known in the trade as comedones, blackheads are actually blocked pores. Here's some dos and don'ts:
Do buy some benzoyl peroxide from the chemist (ask your pharmacist for the gentlest strength first). Apply daily and it may be all you'll need.
Don't squeeze your blackheads. However tempting, you'll regret it when a red spot develops in its place.
Do eat plenty of fresh fruit and veg, along with nuts and wholegrain cereals - scoff yourself to a glowing complexion.
Don't put moisturisers or foundation on your skin - oily cosmetics can block pores, big time. If desperate, opt for something labelled 'non-comedogenic'.
Do get the sun on you - but wisely. Avoid the middle of the day, splash on the Factor 15 and never ever burn.
Don't struggle on alone. If all else fails and you're getting spots too: see your GP for some more advice.
Above all, try not to let it get you down. No one passes through life without a blackhead. They're as normal as rain on Thursdays.
