Blackheads are a result of excess dead skin
cells being shed which thereafter plug your pores. You should take care
to prevent blackheads from forming in the first place by exfoliating
your skin on a regular basis. Exfoliation will remove the dead skin
cells before they get the chance to block your pores.

number of treatments for preventing and removing them. These are:

5) A very simple way to cure blackheads is to go through cleaning of the
skin with quality facial products on a regular basis. It will surely
reduce blackheads.
6) It is always better to use a metallic extractor or blackhead remover
tool called a comedo extractor than a hand to extract blackheads.
