What Causes Ear Blackheads?

Blackheads can be caused by oil and dead skin cells that have gotten trapped in your pores. Blackheads can develop in the ears because of the hundreds of hair follicles, earwax glands, and tiny hair follicles within the ear canal. These glands can produce excess oil which can lead to skin breaking out and unsightly blackheads.

These are some ways that you might be inviting in these unsightly imperfections to your ears. Here are some tips to prevent blackheads from developing in your ears.

Remaining Earwax and Grime on your Earbuds and Headphones: Oil and earwax can stick to your earbuds so make sure you clean them at least once per week. Avoid wearing them for prolonged periods.
Pillowcase Dirt and Bacteria: Your pillowcase may be to blame if you have blackheads in the ears. To avoid bacteria and other impurities, wash your pillowcase at minimum once per week. These nasty substances can get on your skin over night and cause acne and irritation.
Bacteria and Oil from Your Cell phone: Did You Know? Your cell phone can have more germs than a normal toilet seat. Ew! To clean your phone from germs, grease, and grit, invest in some disinfecting wipes.
Do Not Touch Your Ears: Just as with your face, too much touching of your ears can lead to bacteria in your ears.
