Being unsightly, but also damaging to morale, blackheads settle on the skin of teenagers and adults don't get rid of it either! However, it is possible to combat them by knowing good gestures and taking proper care.
Thanks to our advice, you will be able to eliminate blackheads and return to having cleaner, fresher, and smoother skin.
The blackhead also called a "comedo", is the visible part of excess sebum produced by the sebaceous glands. Sebum is a greasy substance designed particularly to lubricate the skin and prevent bacteria from entering the epidermis.
During adolescence, a period in which the body experiences hormonal turmoil, the sebaceous glands tend to produce excess sebum this is what causes the appearance of a small comedo. Upon contact with air, it oxidizes and turns black, which gives rise to the first manifestation of acne, blackheads.
As a logical consequence, blackheads appear on the parts of the body that are provided with sebaceous glands. In particular on the face, more specifically on the famous "T zone": the forehead, the nose, and the chin. Blackheads can also be located on the torso, shoulders, and back, more often in men.
It is certainly not a question of hygiene in any case and everyone can have blackheads. For hormonal reasons, adolescents are particularly exposed to these blemishes, but they equally affect a not insignificant part of adults - women and men.
Blackheads are therefore due to excess sebum, a favorable terrain for the development of acne. It is better to take care of them from the moment they appear. And understand that, to enjoy healthy skin again, it is essential to maintain good daily habits.
Washing your face in the morning and at night is the basic gesture. To cleanse your skin in the morning, you should use a water-based cleansing gel, and if your skin is sensitive, you should choose a gentler cleanser, such as a cleansing cream, to protect it.
Before going to sleep, removing make-up is mandatory, that's why you should choose specific make-up removers and lotions according to your skin type.
As for the boys, they must take care of the moment of shaving using foams for softening, antiseptic, and antibacterial shaving.
Hydration is essential, also for oily skin, because it contributes to its balance and good health. But not all creams are suitable.
To eliminate blackheads, excess sebum, and shine, you must apply daily 2-in-1 care that is both hydrating, non-comedogenic, and purifying, formulated with specific active ingredients.
