In other words, you&#8217;re not alone, but blackheads are still annoying AF.\n\nTo combat these pesky clogged pores, we chatted with top dermatologists to discover the best way to remove blackheads. Keep reading to learn from their expertise.\n<h2>What Are Blackheads?<\/h2>\nWe\u2019ve likely all witnessed grayish-black dots on the nose, cheeks, forehead, or chin at some point in our lives. But can the same be said for actually knowing what they are?\n\n\u201cBlackheads are just an oxidized mix of oil and dead skin cells that sit in pores. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/20\/air-patrol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Air exposure<\/a> is what causes them to oxidize and turn black,\u201d says Parvaneh Rafaeloff, MD of LA-based <a href=\"https:\/\/lejoliespa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Le Jolie Medi Spa<\/a>. In other words, blackheads are a pretty good indicator that your skin is either A) not as clean as you\u2019d like to think, or B) oilier than you might realize.\n<h2>The Best Way to Remove Blackheads<\/h2>\nWhile spa <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/intuitive-facial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">facials<\/a> are a fantastic (and not to mention the most obvious) way to extract blackheads, board-certified dermatologist and celebrity beauty expert <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bellaskininstitute.com\/who-we-are\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anna Guanche, MD<\/a> says that a consistent regimen is essential to prevent recurring clogs.\n<h3>Add Chemical Exfoliants to Your Skincare Routine<\/h3>\nAn ideal skincare <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/osea-morning-routine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">routine<\/a> geared towards clearing out blackheads consists of charcoal, benzoyl peroxide, and a variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/skin-care-acids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">exfoliating acids<\/a>. As much as you may want to pick and prod your skin (because, let\u2019s be real, it can be satisfying), acids are a safer way to get the job done. They dissolve the gunk clogging your pores and creating the blackhead in the first place, all without applying excess pressure onto your delicate facial skin.\n\n\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/physical-vs-chemical-exfoliation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chemical exfoliation<\/a> includes alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/lactic-acid-best-exfoliator-for-sensitive-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lactic acids<\/a>) and beta hydroxy acids (salicylic acid),\u201d Dr. Guanche says. \u201cChemical exfoliators with these compounds can be in the form of a cream, lotion, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/homemade-face-masks-for-acne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mask<\/a>, wash, or a pad.\u201d Additionally, she notes that retinoids can also help improve cell turnover, effectively ridding skin of stubborn blackheads.\n<h3>Reach for a Blackhead Extractor<\/h3>\nIf chemical exfoliators don\u2019t do the full job, you can enlist the help of extracting tools\u2014with caution, of course. \u201cI recommend gently removing blackheads after a warm shower or steam, using a blackhead extractor (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/CHIMOCEE-Professional-Blackhead-Extractor-Whitehead\/dp\/B072KK5J8K\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">these<\/a>) if possible,\u201d Dr. Guanche notes. She explains that blackhead extractors help open pores and limit the pressure necessary for removal.\n<h2>How to Get Rid of Blackheads at Home<\/h2>\nReady to give it a go?
