The best and most basic remedy would be to drink lots of water on a daily basis. You should aim to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water per day and you will see a gradual change in the texture of the skin, for good.

Why am I getting so much of blackheads and whiteheads on my skin? Is it because of the skin texture?

Reply
Mansi Kohli July 28, 2017 - 2:21 pm

That could be a possibility. Most ‘thick skin’ textures i.e. rough skin have large pores that are compacted with oil, sebum etc. This makes the existence of blackheads and whiteheads more complicated.
