Wash your face gently every morning and every evening without going to bed. Use a soap with a neutral PH. This is the best way to keep your face clean and to get rid of bacteria. Be very gentle and do not rub your face with a towel; this will only lead to an excessive production of oil and more breakouts. Keep this towel as clean as possible and make sure your hands are clean too before you wash your face. Make this a routine so your skin stays clean all the time.

Wash your face with hot water to open your pores and apply the exfoliating cream. Gently rub in circular motions and focus on the areas where you tend to have blackheads. Rinse with hot water and splash cold water afterward to tighten your clean pores.
