Re: Blackheads
Dear Louise,
Many thanks for your question. Skin that is prone to blackheads often still needs moisturising but care should be taken to avoid thick, heavy-textured creams and in general terms stick to products that are light fluids or gels.
When searching for a product, it can help to look for the label "non-comedogenic". This literally means "will not block pores". Whilst there is no 100% guarantee that a product is able to do this, it is better than a product which fails to carry the label.
Unfortunately, I am unable to give specific product recommendations on this forum but when you are next buying a product, look out for the label!
I hope that helps and best wishes,
Anjali Mahto
