How to remove blackheads? Skincare tips

SHOP THE AMAZON HEROS

As somebody that dealt years and years with sever acne… blackheads are very familiar to me. However, you do not need to have acne issues as blackheads are a common thing for so many of us. They are simply clogged follicles mainly with excess oil and dead skin.

It sounds not particularly appealing however that is the cycle of our skin and we constantly have to think of cleansing and also removing the dead skin cells on a regular basis. A good news is they are harmless and sometimes they just look worse than they are.

Even as a teenager I was having regular facials so I am pretty used to having manual extraction but there are so many things you can do from comfort of you home. And you can minimise the amount of blackheads. I am sure if you are on Tiktok you came across some of those viral videos and couldn’t stop watching some sort of tool used for blackhead removal. I am still not sure if I find these videos satisfying or just gross.

Ok so what can we do to prevent them and deal with them less and less. I loved this tool which I also gave my sister as a present but as with anything you need to be consistent and keep up with your tailored skincare routine. You can browse my BLACKHEADS HEROS EDIT.

From experience if you decide for extraction at home it is always good to open your pores. If you prefer actual product that does that you can go down that route or opt for traditional steaming. These machines are very convenient or simply use hot water in a bowl.

However, you can achieve a lot with skincare. The key is to keep avoiding the build up on your skin so using specific cleansers and exfoliating will do lot of work for you.

What SKINCARE products you should use as a 40 + years old woman?

Skincare for 40 + years old women

When it comes to skincare I am a bit of a skincare junkie however since I turned 40 I am more listening to my body and really trying to stick to certain products long-term and I simply wanted to share what works for me.

We are all very different when it comes to skin but hopefully some of you may have a similar story. As a teen I suffered from severe and cystic acne and nothing helped until Accutane treament. And I would do it again without a doubt.

Just when I thought I am finally clear and can enjoy skincare with focus on anti-aging I started to have major changes like hairline eczema that is coming and going. What I am trying to explain that I feel I am battling all issues. I still get pimples, my texture is not great (with some acne scaring left around mouth and chin), the special computer skin analysis also showed sun damage which nobody would be proud of.

I learnt few things and first one if things get bad less is more. Get your skincare to 2 steps and see how you get on. Led masks are a wonder. I use the Currentbody one and it has been a game changer. I have an ongoing discount code Eva15 in case you want to treat yourself to this wonderful device. Exfoliating and double cleansing makes a huge difference and of course SPF and hydration.

However, here the products I really feel made a difference in the last 6 months.

La Mer Moisturising Cream

We always need to keep our skin hydrated and this cream got my heart from the very beginning. It is my number one hydrating cream out there. Together with their Micelar water they make my favourite duo. In the summer I sometimes prefer the gel version however I personally am a huge fan of rich creams.

La Mer resurfacing treatment

This product is actually quite well priced considering this brand’s price range and especially taking in account the power of this product. My skin is definitely more glowy. They way I can also tell as I had to leave it behind when I travelled all summer due to taking so many things for myself and my family and my skin go to so much worse. In general gentle resurfacing makes a huge different long-term. At least for me.

Currentbody Led Mask

The IT mask is worth the hype. You can even use my discount code EVA15 which is ongoing on all currentbody devices. As soon as I stop using it my skin tells me to get back on it. It also works well for the eczema I mentioned previously. It takes weeks to notice the difference however I find this the easiest and most convenient beauty tool. I remember how much I wanted it when I saw so many positive reviews and now I happily joined the crowds promoting this fantastic device. All you need is 3-5 times a week for 10 minutes. You can wear it evening during your chores as it is super easy to use.

Dermalogica cleanser

I have tried many many cleansers during my life but this one seems to really agree with my T-zone skin. It keeps the pimples away and leaves my skin glowy without feeling too oily. Again I noticed how well this works for me after I finished my bottle and tried to use different cleanser. Never ran faster for a new bottle.

Rose Youth Elixir by Gentle & Rose/New Routine

As you know me I am always trying out new products and experimenting. During pregnancy and now breastfeeding I have been avoiding retinol as it is simply not safe for the baby and during pregnancy can affect negatively baby’s development.

However I am always on a lookout for Retinol alternative that are safe and deliver great skin. I have recently included several products from Gentle and Rose to my skincare routine and one of my favourite products is more kind and natural retinol alternative Rose Youth Elixir. In general serums and extra skin products are one of my favourite to use especially if they have a soft and silky consistency that give my skin light feel and softer texture. The youth elixir is for people like myself that are trying to find solution for wrinkles, fine lines, discolouration, saggy skin and tired looking skin. And I have been really loving using it and seeing the results. My skin has been looking very tired, lacking glow which is definitely affected by lack of sleep with a newborn and also in general due to getting older. Using the youth elixir I noticed more natural glow to the skin. Even after applying you see beautiful reflection. The makeup sits very well after using it but your skin looks much more even and glowy without any foundation.

One of the best things about the elixir is that it is 99,8 % natural. It contains my favourite hyaluronic acid, rosa damascena and also bakuchiol. This is a great combination of hydration and natural retinol alternative.

I also have to mention the packaging of this product. The bottles are very elegant and chic. The serum has a very handy applicator that helps you apply product directly on the skin. They look great on a dressing table or bathroom shelve.

Jak asi vite, rada zkousim nove kosmeticke produkty a myslim, ze je celkove dobre plet trenovat. Behem tehotenstvi a ted pri kojeni se vyhybam retinolu, ktery muze ovlivnit vyvoj dite.

A tak stale hledam nove alternativy retinolu, ktere mohu pouzivat a ktere mi dodaji hezkou texturu pleti. V poslednich par tydnech jsou zkousela nekolik produktu od Gentle & Rose a musim rict, ze Rose Youth Elixir je z nich asi ten nejoblibenejsi. Obecne rada pouzivam sera. Toto se zameruje na vrasky, hyperpigmentaci a unavenou a povolenou pokozku. Jiz za par tydnu jsem moc spokojena s vysledky. Serum krasne plet rozzari a to je hodne potreba po prerusovanem spanku, ktery je u maminek na dennim poradku. Jedna z nejlepsich veci na tomto produktu je, ze je prirodni z 99,8 % a obsahuje kyselinu hyaluronovou, ruzi z Damasku a bakuchiol.

Libi se mi take velmi sik baleni, ktere vypada vyborne jak v koupelne tak na kosmetickem stolku. Elixir ma skvely aplikator, kterym nanesete par kapek primo na plet a muzete vmasirovat produkt do pokozky.

Je to opravdu prijemny produkt, ktery dodava pleti zar a hydrataci.
