Whiteheads are a mild form of acne caused by a build up of oil, dead skin, and sebum. They’re tiny white spots that form when a skin pore closes up and traps bacteria underneath the skin. They grow on different parts of the face but are usually spotted on the cheeks near the eyes.
To prevent the growth of whiteheads, always clean your face twice daily with skincare products that match your skin type. Facial cleansers with alpha hydroxyl and salicylic acid usually help unclog your pores. Exfoliate your skin twice or thrice a week, especially on problem areas. Get a gentle exfoliator with small particles since these encourage the growth of healthier skin cells. Finally, take the time to steam your face once a week to cleans your skin and loosen up any debris that might be embedded on it.
