How are blackheads formed?

Blackheads are also called blackheads. They are a type of open comedones, which are mainly caused by the skin's daily contact with dust and pollution. The symptoms of this type of skin often appear on the face. Its main manifestation is that there are black spots in the middle of the comedones, which look like small insects when squeezed out, and the tops are black. The causes of blackheads include congenital factors, such as keratin embolism, and acquired reasons.

How are blackheads formed?

One type: born blackheads: The keratin on the surface of hair follicles is different from that of normal people. The keratin of these people is very thick and not easy to leave the hair follicles. The excess oil secreted in the pores is mixed with old and waste keratin and clogs the pores. The oil blockage hardens after oxidation and becomes black after oxidation when exposed to the air, commonly known as blackheads. 2 Back to top

The second type is acquired: the reasons are complicated. 1. Enlarged pores: The lateral enlargement of pores is the main problem in the formation of blackheads. The excess oil in the sebum ducts is more easily oxidized and hardened, making the blackheads more obvious. 2. Improper use of cosmetics: Long-term use of products containing too much oil or protein can easily cause whiteheads, which will form blackheads after oxidation and adhere firmly to the pore walls, making them difficult to wash off with daily facial cleansing. 3. Eating habits: From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, blood heat, stomach heat, blood stasis, etc. are likely to cause blackheads, blackheads, and acne. Therefore, you need to adjust your diet and eat less greasy and spicy food. Blackheads, also known as blackhead comedones, are open comedones (the surface layer of the sebum that clogs the pores is directly exposed to the outside and comes into contact with the air and dust in the air).

Removal tips

1. Salt and milk to remove blackheads 1. It is best to use unused table salt, which can be stored in a small bottle when it is just opened 2. Use 4 to 5 drops of milk to mix with salt each time, and start massaging when the salt is half dissolved 3. Since the salt is not completely dissolved at this time and there are still particles, you must use very, very light force when massaging 4. Wash it off with clean water after half a minute, but not too long 5. In order to allow the skin to secrete clean oil protection again, do not apply anything on the washed skin after washing

2. Use pearl powder to remove blackheads 1. Purchase high-quality pearl powder for internal use at the drugstore 2. Put an appropriate amount of pearl powder in a small dish, add an appropriate amount of clean water, and mix the pearl powder into a paste 3. Apply the good pearl powder evenly on the face 4. Use facial massage techniques on the face until the pearl powder on the face becomes dry, then wash the face with clean water 5. It can be used twice a week. It can effectively remove aging cuticles and blackheads. (If you want to remove blackheads without enlarging your pores, no matter what method you use, it is best to steam your face beforehand to allow the pores to open naturally. This not only helps to expel toxins, but also helps with cleansing. After removing the blackheads, it is best to apply ice-cold distilled water or toner to the nose and T-zone. In addition to calming the skin, it can also shrink the pores.) 3. Egg white to remove blackheads 1. Prepare clean cotton pads and tear the original thick cotton pads into thinner sheets. The thinner the better. 2. Open an egg, separate the egg white from the yolk, and keep the egg white for later use. 3. Soak the torn cotton pad in egg white, drain it slightly, and stick it on the tip of your nose. 4. Wait for ten to fifteen minutes, and carefully tear off the cotton pad after it is completely dry.
