There are various methods for removing blackheads and minimizing pores, and the choice should be based on individual skin type and needs. Generally speaking, maintaining facial cleanliness is fundamental. Using a gentle cleanser and exfoliating regularly can help remove excess oil and dirt, thereby reducing blackhead formation. For existing blackheads, blackhead extracting solutions or specialized products can be used for treatment; however, care should be taken to avoid excessive squeezing, which may damage the skin. In addition, medical aesthetic procedures such as chemical peels and photorejuvenation can also effectively improve enlarged pores and blackhead problems, but should be performed under the guidance of a professional. At the same time, maintaining a healthy diet and consuming foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants can also help maintain skin health and reduce the occurrence of blackheads and enlarged pores.
