A blackhead, also known as a blackhead, is part of a pore. Sebum and sweat leave your body through pores. When there is too much sebum, dead skin cells, bacteria and sweat present, a blockage forms in a hair follicle. This creates a blackhead. Blackheads are most commonly found on your forehead, chin and nose. Here the sebaceous glands are most active and are not very deep, so blockages are more likely to form here. This does not mean that you cannot get blackheads on the rest of your body. Some people suffer more from blackheads than others. You can prevent blackheads by giving your face the right care. Cleanse your skin every morning and evening to prevent impurities such as blackheads with water and a mild facial cleanser. Also treat your skin regularly with a face mask. There are several masks that have been specially developed to help prevent blackheads.
Removing blackheads
With the handy blackhead remover tool, you can get rid of your blackheads in no time. It looks like a rod with a loop at each end. People sometimes squeeze out blackheads without realizing that this is not good for your skin! Remove a blackhead in the following way. Pour some hot water into a bowl and steam your face briefly with a towel over your head. This will open your pores. Then place the end of the spoon on the blackhead and gently push the black point out of the sebaceous gland. Always take a look in a makeup mirror so you know exactly what you are doing. The ‘spoon’ often has two ends, for small and slightly larger blackheads. Then clean the skin with some water and apply a lovely day cream. Remember to also clean the blackhead remover after use. This way, you can use it clean again next time. In addition to this handy makeup accessory, you will find much more at Blisso, including: blotting paper, a jade roller, a toe separator, a tanning mitt, makeup mirrors and more.
