It’s the question we’ve asked many times…how the heck do you get rid of blackheads when it seems nothing will make them go away? Lucky for you Leigh and Kelly are here to share their favourite products to keep your skin blackhead free.
“Blackheads aren’t dirt, don’t worry, we’re not all dirty buggers,” Leigh explained. “Blackheads form when sebum, the oil in our skin, hits the air in the environment and oxidises, turning the oil black.”
“Yes, there’s the pore strips that don’t really work that well – they’re fun and it’s fun looking at ‘the worms’ afterwards. They can clear some blackheads but they’re not really effective”
“It’s better to use a chemical exfoliator, you need something with alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs).”- Leigh said.
And, if you’ve ever wondered whether you should be brushing or combing wet hair, our beauty experts have all the answers.
“When your hair is wet, it’s at it’s weakest and very vulnerable to damage. Keep a wide-tooth comb in the shower and comb through once you’ve applied conditioner.” – Leigh said.
“Never, ever rub your hair with a towel when it’s wet, squeeze the water out with a towel or use a towel turban.”
