So, should I squeeze blackheads?
No, you shouldn’t squeeze them, for three main reasons:
• Skin damage: it can irritate or damage your skin, especially if you use your nails.
• Infection: it can spread dirt or bacteria from your hands to your skin, which can lead to infections.
• Blackhead growth: if you squeeze them often, blackheads can get worse or even bigger.
Ways to help prevent blackheads include:
• Keep your skin hydrated – our Clarifying HydroGel Moisturiser is great for this.
• Drink plenty of water throughout the day to maintain moisture in your skin.
• Cleanse thoroughly to remove all makeup and products every night – we love our Cleansing Pads and Clarifying Gel Cleanser.
