HOW TO REDUCE BLACKHEADS & BLEMISHES ON YOUR FACE
A blemish refers to any sort of flaw in your skin, whether it be a spot, mark, or discolouration. Here at L’OCCITANE, we believe all skin is beautiful, regardless of its imperfections. There are many ways of reducing their overall impact on your skin, so read on to learn the different types of blemishes, how to get rid of blemishes, or how to prevent blemishes from coming back.
What Are Blemishes & How Are Blackheads Formed?
A blemish is an irregularity on the skin either in texture or colour. Blackheads are a type of acne that appear due to clogged hair follicles. These bumps are called blackheads because of their dark appearance, where the pores become blocked with excess oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells.
In order to most effectively treat and learn how to get rid of blackheads, it may be beneficial to find out what kind of skin type you have, but also to learn about proper sun safety.

Double Cleanse
To help reduce the occurrence of blemishes, it is key to have a good cleansing routine and exfoliate regularly in the month
A double cleanse is where you cleanse the skin twice; this can be with two different types (e.g. oil/gel/foaming), or it can be the same cleanser used twice. Doing this at night will help to remove any excess sebum, dirt, or dead skin cells likely to accumulate on the skin.
Blackheads & Oily Skin
Blemish-prone or oilier skin types can benefit from products that contain Salicylic Acid, which is excellent at exfoliating the skin, keeping your pores clean, and reducing blackheads.
