Get rid of whiteheads

Before you pick ( and scar) your face, check out the right way to zap them. Whiteheads: Zits with a squishy, white tip-the goo inside like pus. You can treat them at home.
Melia: Tiny, hard white bumps (not zits) made of dead skin cells. They don;t pop but a derm can fix them.

To keep skin clear, your pores need to open. How-To: Though many factors, like hormones and skin type, can make you prone to whiteheads, using a cleanser with a salicylic acid twice daily will help keep these zits away. The acid exfoliates skin so pores don't get clogged with oil and dirt, plus it prevents milia.

If you must pop... We know it can be hard to resist . Here's the safest way. Cleanse skin with warm water ( to soften the whiteheads for easy popping) then grab an extractor tool. Clean the tool with rubbing alcohol, then place oneof its holes around the whitehead and press gently.
