The main methods for removing blackheads and closed comedones include:
1. **Cleansing and Skincare**: Keep the face clean by using mild facial cleansers and exfoliating products. Perform regular deep cleansing to remove excess oil and dead skin cells, preventing pore blockage.
2. **Medication**: Under a doctor's guidance, use medications such as adapalene gel or salicylic acid ointment to help dissolve comedones and eliminate closed pimples.
3. **Medical Aesthetic Treatments**: Such as chemical peels or photorejuvenation, which use fruit acids or light energy to promote skin metabolism, remove dead skin cells and impurities, and improve blackheads and closed comedones.
4. **Dietary Adjustments**: Maintain a light diet and consume more foods rich in vitamins and water. Avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods to reduce sebum production.
5. **Lifestyle Habits**: Maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid staying up late, and engage in moderate exercise to promote metabolism and blood circulation, which helps improve skin condition.
