Blackheads are a common problem that occurs on oily or combination skin in certain areas. As simple as they are to form, they are sometimes difficult to get rid of. But is there really a way to end blackheads before they end your nerves?
What are they initially? Blackheads are skin pores blocked by sebum and dead cells, which in the presence of air oxidize and take on a black color. No, the color black does not indicate impurity.
Before you start treating them, keep in mind that:
1. Do not be pressed: No matter how tempting that black dot on your nose is, it would be best to lower your hands. Especially when you fixate yourself in front of mirrors and massage the skin for 20 minutes in a row. Improper way of pressing them will never completely clean the pores. In addition to the inflammation you will cause to the skin, their suppression leads to the enlargement of the pores and their size does not decrease anymore. No matter how much you hear about magical products that will destroy them, the moment they are magnified, they will stay that way. This means that the next time that pore turns back to a black spot, it will be even bigger. And it will happen very soon.
2. The formation of blackheads comes as a result of overproduction of skin sebum, which can be genetic or come as a result of dehydrated skin. Dehydrated skin is a skin condition that comes as a result of lack of hydration in the skin. In such cases, the skin begins to overproduce fat to compensate for the lack of hydration. It is therefore important not to avoid daily skin hydration with creams and serums that suit your skin.
