They live quite long using skin surface to survive. Environmental pollution along with poor hygiene can aggravate blackheads. Some oil based makeup when used on oil skin can lead to the appearance of blackheads. Oil skin attracts dust easier, and requires treatment. There are ways to cure them and prevent their formation. The best way to prevent their formation is cleansing your skin regularly with creams, gels, or masks that remove bacteria and oil.
