depends on your skin… cocoa butter works well for most people… but if you have more dry skin… go with cetaphil…
Use an exfoliator, like St. Ives, for your blackheads 3-4 times a week then use a cream containing Alpha Hydroxy Fruit acids, like Nutrisse.
You can treat blackheads with over-the-counter acne medications containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.
Apply an astringent like witch hazel. It helps reduce oiliness. If its a bit harsh mix a bit of rose water in it.
Use creams containing AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Fruit acids) like glyco-creams that will clear away any dead skin cells and “expose” the blackhead. Use the AHA’s every 3 days or so.
Wash your face with a gentle water-soluble cleanser.
Apply a clay mask that does not contain ingredients such as mint or peppermint. It will absorb excess oil from the skin surface. If you have dry skin, use oil-absorbing papers to clean the face.
Apply exfoliant or a scrub that will help remove dead skin from your face.
Take hot steam on your face to soften the blackheads for easy removal.
i find that dove face creame (it comes in a very tiny pot) makes my skin smooth.
