Clay Masks
Clay masks, particularly those with bentonite or kaolin clay, can draw out impurities and excess oil from the skin, making them useful in blackhead removal.

Maintain a Balanced Diet
Avoid excessive consumption of sugary and greasy foods, as they can contribute to increased oil production and exacerbate blackhead formation.
