Blackheads look like little dark dots, usually flat to the skin’s surface within the pore.
These can be caused by a build up of oil mixed with dead skin cells, blocking the hair follicles meaning the oil that would normally flow through becomes trapped and clogs up.

A blackhead commonly gets mistaken for dirt being stuck in the pores - untrue!
