Blackheads go away

What I've learn about blackheads when I was in beauty college, many people believe that if your skin did not cleaned properly, more blackheads can appear. And most people think that it is 'black' because of dirt. But there's nothing to do with dirt. And when you do have them, you can't scrub them away. 

Blackheads are typically caused by the overproduction of oil, (hormones cause too much oil and the dead skin gets in the way for the oil to escape and creates a clog, this show up on skin as a blackhead.) which tends to occur when a person reaches puberty.

Blackheads are most common on your face, specifically on your nose and the sides of your nose. But some people get blackheads in other places, such as on their ears, shoulders and on their back, though whiteheads and blackheads can form anywhere when there is a hair follicle.

How to get rid of blackheads?

We can extract some of the blackheads when you sees them. First step is to put a warm compress cotton on your nose or wherever you have it and gently squeeze them.

I Tear half  for saving the cotton ;p

Your fingers have oils and dirt on them which could cause further breakouts. So I always covered up my fingers using wet cotton while I'm about squeeze them for hygiene purpose! Remember to only gently squeeze your blackheads. 

Well, I wont recommend to use blackheads pick, because when you pick you could have scars saying "hello" when you overly press to your skin. NO! we don't want to have scars!

Do not ever use needles to pick the pores open if you don't know how to use it. Seek for the professions!

In some cases, blackheads can emerge if sun screens, make up, or foundations are overused and irritate the skin. Make sure your face is clean after you cleanse your face.


Using the right products/skin cares are also very important. Oily skin is the highest chance for causing blackheads. Use a mild products/skin cares. Mild enough to not to over dry your skin, and effective enough to keep your oil under control. This means that you have to use good cleanser, good toner and a light moisturiser. I would recommend to use correct gel type of moisturiser if you have too oily skin. Also consult with the beauty consultant knowing your skin first before you wont regret of purchasing the wrong products/skin cares which is not suitable to your skin. (Becareful of choosing the right skin care).  


Keep your hands off of your face. I know some people have the habit of rest head on their hands or sleep with their hands up to their face, the oils and dirt on hands don't need to be on face. And some have habits to pick on their acne/breakouts. To me the best way for acne to recover faster while your on treatment is not to THINK about it. Forgot about your acne on your face, it will disappear very soon! Trust me. Because I understand that having acne may cause stress..of course stress does not directly affect blackheads occurrence, but however, stress and anxiety can cause people to pick at their blackheads and acne, which may irritate the skin.

One of the most important things for you to do is to wash your face at least twice a day. When you do this, you are at much less risk. 

Good luck and thanks for stopping by! It's just a short post/tips and I hope this will be useful for you:)
