CNA Lifestyle asks skin doctors about what you can do to keep your complexion comedone-free.

As much as we’ve been told by our skin doctors to keep our hands off our faces, we can’t seem to help but pick at, squeeze and extract our blackheads.

In addition, Dr Chiam added that for blackheads, “contrary to popular belief, the black speck is surface melanin rather than dirt”. And this happens because “air, which can enter the blackhead, oxidises the melanin to produce a dark colour”. Whiteheads, on the other hand, do not contain any pigments.When it comes to dealing with comedones, both Drs Chiam and Ho advised to avoid DIY extraction as it can spread the bacteria that was inside the skin onto the skin surface.

Avoid using occlusive skincare and makeup, such as thick creams, especially if you have acne-prone skin. Now that you know what you should do, here are five blackhead busters to keep your complexion clean and clear.Skininc Deepcare 02 Hydro Facial Pore Refiner.
