When you are exposed to dust and dirt every day, it is not unlikely to be pestered by blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples.

These forms of acne become even more common if you have excessively oily skin.

For you to be able to address your blackheads tonight, to make it in time for a big day tomorrow, and keep it that way, you must be able to gain a better understanding of what causes blackheads so that you can have a better idea of how to get rid of blackheads too.

What Causes you to Get Blackheads?

Blackheads are aggravated by many things but the root cause is excessively oily skin.

When you have oily skin, it means you have overly active oil glands, and this condition predisposes you to acne.

With good hygiene and a proper skin care regimen, however, you should be able to achieve clear, beautiful skin.

Even then, whether you have oily, combination, or dry skin, you can still get a zit or worse, an acne breakout.

Puberty, pregnancy, post-delivery, stress, medication, and harsh products can all cause you to develop acne and worsen it.

Oils produced by the skin can clog your pores, sometimes it develops plugs, trapping in the oil but also inviting bacteria to thrive in your pores. Sometimes, in the case of blackheads, the oil oxidizes, causing the stuck oil to darken.

Get all set to face a new day with spotless, blackheads-free skin. Check out 5 steps on how to get rid of blackheads overnight below:

Step 1:

Boil water in a wide-brimmed pot. When it boils, set it aside and move to the next step.

Step 2:

Cleanse your face with a soap-free cleanser. Get the superficial skin impurities out of the way so you can go deeper into your blackhead problem later. Pat dry.
