Before I jump to some easy steps on caring for blackheads, I think it is important for you to understand what blackheads really are. Contrary to the popular belief, they are not dirt-clogged pores.

Black head pimples include sebum, bacteria and dead skin. When you clean a black head pimple it is important that you clean out the pore but do not spread the bacteria or sebum around your face. The bacteria and sebum can cause other parts of your face to become clogged or infected and pimples or blemishes to be created.

Most health professionals recommend caring for blackheads by cleaning your face twice a day with a soap that is antibacterial. If your face has moderate or severe acne you should consult with a dermatologist, but a few pimples on your face can easily be treated with many over the counter remedies. Many over the counter remedies include anti bacterial topical solutions and lotions that clean your skin and include certain types of acid that can help rid your face of pimples.
