Kolaine Beauty Lounge have also shared some skincare tips to keep blackheads and other pesky spots at bay.
They said: “Blocked pores happen because of excess oil, overproduction of sebum, causing clogs, skin dead cells, these can mix with oil and block pores.
“Bacteria growth – blocked bacteria in clogged pores can lead to inflammation and acne.
“And product choice – some cosmetics can clog pores if they aren’t non-comedogenic.”
To prevent these, they say to cleanse regularly.
They added: “Use a gentle cleanser twice daily.
“Also exfoliate one to times a week to remove dead skin cells.
“Don’t forget to moisturise – use a non-comedogenic moisturiser to maintain oil balance.
“Opt for oil-free skincare products and avoid touching your face to reduce the transfer of oils and bacteria.
“Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet.“Also stay active – exercise regularly to improve circulation and remove toxins.
