What's The Best Way To Remove Blackheads?
Blackheads are the slightly different sibling of zits, and like
zits, squeezing them can be addictive. Composed of the same oil, or
sebum, that contributes to the production of pimples, blackheads
result from a building up of this oil in pores - the difference in
appearance is the result of the blackhead's exposure to the air,
the reaction of which with the oil causes the trademark black color
of these blemishes. And while blackheads are more easily obscured
by makeup, they can seem less offensive to the sufferer, and as a
result, less damaging to squeeze. But the bad news is that this is
not the best way of removing blackheads - the fun stuff is always
bad for us! And while squeezing them might be fun, getting rid of
them altogether sounds better. So what is the best way to remove
blackheads from our lives? Here are some tips for removing
blackheads for good.
So, how to get rid of blackheads? Like pimples, blackheads are
the result of an underlying skin problem - the over production of
oil by glands contained in our skin, exacerbated by the improper
shedding of old skin - and rather than removing blackheads by
squeezing, the best way to get rid of them is by attacking the
source of the problem. A good cleansing routine is one of the best
ways to remove blackheads, as it will help wash away excess oil and
dead skin particles. A gentle cleanser is a good choice as it won't
dry out the skin excessively (which results in the production of
even more of that nasty sebum!). Combined with the use of a gentle
exfoliant, which will help remove old skin cells, this is all you
need to help keep your skin blackhead free.
But we all know that blackheads can be persistent, so how to get
rid of blackheads that are more stubborn? Aggressive manipulation
of the skin is never good, and so tips for removing blackheads
include above all else a gentle touch. Before attempting to squeeze
a blackhead, open up your pores by steaming your face, and then use
a blackhead remover or some clean tissue to remove the blockage.
Remember - the best way to remove blackheads is to be gentle! An
overly heavy hand will only force the blockage deeper into the
skin, causing dreaded zits! Surely squeezing isn't worth that!
