[ad#Ad Block Posts Floats Left]Here are three top tips for simple things you can do to get rid of blackheads. Blackheads, along with pimples, are probably the two most common skin problems which just about everyone will suffer from at some time or another. Blackheads can crop up at any time and it may seem that they appear overnight and without warning. These tips will not cost you any money and you can start right away!

Change your Pillowcase!
1. Be sure to change your pillow case often when you are trying to get rid of blackheads and keep your skin looking great. Most of us apply skin care products at night; as you sleep, some of the product ends up soaking into the pillowcase.

If you can, change your pillowcase every day – even if you like decorative pillowshams on your bed, a half dozen or so white cotton (not polyester) pillowcases will not cost you a lot, will pop into the washing machine really easily, dry even quicker and you will have a steady supply of pillowcases to use.

If you try to get in the habit of popping on a clean one in the morning when you make your bed, this helps to ensure that any skin care product residue on the pillowcase will not soak into the cover of the pillow itself.

Don’t Overdo Your Skincare Routine!

If you go through your complete cleansing and skincare routine more than twice a day, you are not doing your skin any favours and you may well make your acne and blackheads problem worse.

How can this be? Well if you are using products to help with excess oil production that is causing blackheads and pimples, all these products have a drying effect on your skin by definition. If you overdo the use of these, your body goes into rescue mode and steps up production of sebum (oil) to moisturise the skin.

You also should not use more than one type of acne skincare product at a time as some of the ingredients in different formulations do not mix well and can cause irritation, redness and dryness/peeling.

Change your Face Towel every day!

We often put our towels back onto heated towel rails above the radiator and so make a lovely cosy place for bacteria to grow on those dead skin cells – not a nice thought is it? Especially when we think that the very next thing we do with that towel is to use it to dry our face right after our thorough cleansing routine when we have been so careful to eliminate bacteria from our faces!
