Closed comedones

Question

I’ve been having closed comedones on my lower cheeks for almost a year now. I’ve consulted many dermatologists and their prescribed creams (with either benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid) only suppress them temporarily. I’ve tried and tested almost everything. Changed my diet, tried new skin routines but nothing seems to work. Please help!

Hi @Veena BClosed Comedons are whiteheads ,kind of acnes caused as the pores gets clogged dirt, sebum and dead skin.Excess sebum production is the reason.Try home remedies as you have tried almost everything now Take facial steam which would help to open up the pores and loosens the buildup of dirt, oil and dead skin cells. And follow with scrub.  A homemade sugar scrub can work wonders for your skin. It will help exfoliate your skin to remove excess oil and debris trapped in the pores without causing dryness.1. Mix together one tablespoon each of sugar and honey with few drops of lemon juice.     2. Apply it on your face and gently massage in circular motions.     3. Leave it on for a few minutes & wipe it off using a wet washcloth and then wash your face.     4. Do this once or twice a week on a regular basis.
After you are done just spray some chilled rose water and let it absorb in your skin.
