That\u2019s why they often look dark and clogged.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\">Am I susceptible to getting blackheads?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Anyone can get blackheads because they can form on any skin type or condition. However, people with oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin are more likely to develop blackheads; their skin produces more oil or has a high reactivity rate, which creates a greater chance of follicles clogging and lesions forming. Most people see blackheads in areas with large, active oil glands such as the nose and chin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\">I got a blackhead, what do I do now?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">First, get rid of the buildup that caused the blackhead. After a\u00a0double cleanse\u00a0clears away surface dirt, use an exfoliant for a deeper clean. Our iconic\u00a0exfoliants\u00a0are formulated with Beta Hydroxy Acids and Glycolic Acid to penetrate below the skin\u2019s surface to break up blackheads where they form.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">After cleansing, replenish skin to prevent new blackheads from forming. Applying a daily antibacterial booster or serum like\u00a0Age Bright Clearing Serum\u00a0helps get rid of breakout-causing bacteria before they cause blackheads. Ingredients like Salicylic Acid, Azelaic Acid, Thymol with Terpineol, and Benzoyl Peroxide are common antibacterial agents that should be added to any acne treatment routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Finally, add some moisture to your skin to lock in the treatment. It\u2019s a common misconception that oily skin doesn\u2019t need a moisturizer, but this can actually cause more oil to form. As your skin lacks the water-based hydration from a moisturizer, it will produce more oily to compensate\u2013leading to a higher potential for blackheads. Find a\u00a0moisturizer\u00a0that has the texture and finish you prefer so you can wear it comfortably day and night.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how blackheads develop and how to treat them with our go-to clearing products.
