The 10 Best Blackhead-Busting Face Masks For Clearer Skin

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, more than 50 million Americans suffer from acne a year. So, when you see some blackhead pop up on your nose, chest, arms, or shoulders, don’t stress.

You are definitely not the only one. Those annoying black dots pop up when a clog or plug develops in your hair follicles. Dead skin cells and excess oil collect in the opening of the follicle and form a bump.

If that pump stays closed, it’s a whitehead. If it stays open and hits the air, it turns that black color.

Common acne ingredients such as salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide help reduce excess oil (or sebum), kill acne-causing bacteria, and slough off dead skin cells.

The right skincare routine, including a blackhead mask, can help keep blackheads from forming and clear up the ones that are already there.

These 10 blackhead masks are some of the best around. The first seven are based on Napster reviews from past Glam Bags.

Tipsters know what’s stellar skincare and they’re shouting it out with five-star reviews.

1. COLIN Blackhead O2 Bubble Pore Pack

This bubbling Korean beauty mask helps clear up blackheads in a few ultra-effective ways. First, walnut shell powder gently exfoliates to remove dead skin cells and reduce shine.

Then, what the brand calls “micro-oxygen bubbles” work to purify the pores and remove all that build-up we talked about earlier.

Finally, antioxidant-rich ginkgo Biloba extract and licorice root extract hydrate and repair the skin so it doesn’t feel stripped and dry.

It does all of this while still being free from alcohol, artificial coloring, and fragrances.

“I have sensitive skin and don’t really get blackheads so I wouldn’t do it too often, but my partner does and it has seemed to help after two applications,” said one Napster. Others found the fun of the bubbles to use and that they left their skin feeling fresh.
