But we all know that blackheads can be persistent, so how to get rid of blackheads that are more stubborn? Aggressive manipulation of skin is never good, and so tips for removing blackheads include above all else a gentle touch. Before attempting to squeeze a blackhead, open up your pores by steaming your face, and then use a blackhead remover or some clean tissue to remove blockage. Remember – best way to remove blackheads is to be gentle! An overly heavy hand will only force blockage deeper into skin, causing dreaded zits! Surely squeezing isn’t worth that!

Does this mean that there are no acne solutions? No not at all. Quite opposite. It just means that people searching for acne cures need to approach problem with right perspective.

Don’t expect to find “perfect” acne cure. The one secret potion that, when applied, will immediately clear up all those annoying spots in a few days. That, once cure has been effected, it will be unnecessary to apply product any more.

Look at it this way. Good acne solutions do exist. They can be a little hard to find because what works for some may not work for others, so you may need to try a number of products until you find one that works for you.

And once you have found acne control that works for you don’t expect to use it for a while and stop. Acne isn’t cured, it’s managed. Once you have spots under control you then need to practice active acne prevention by continuing to use product until your body says “enough is enough”. And observing some basic common sense precautions.

It’s a question of attitude and expectations. Go into it looking for perfect once only “acne cure” and you will be disappointed. Understand that acne is a natural body condition that can be controlled with some effort once right product has been found.

That it will not stop until it has decided to and that you may well need to keep using product for quite some time until it does. And that as a huge percentage of your friends will also get it at some time it is just a part of growing up.

Acne cures? There aren’t any. Acne solutions? They do exist, and there are some very good ones. But you need to understand difference.
