Are Whiteheads Your Problem?

March 9th, 2010 . 2 Comments »

If you are looking out for some good information on whiteheads, their causes and treatment remedies then here’s some real good information for you.

Learn as to how your whiteheads are formed and what actually causes them and how can you get rid of them at the earliest.

It is explained that white heads are a combination of sebum, oils and cellular fragments within hair follicles that produce firm to hard plugs.

They are different because of the reason that they have no contact with oxygen and henceforth they do not oxidize or turn brown unlike blackheads. They form a light or yellow-white lump and so the name whiteheads. These whiteheads lead to the formation of cystic acne when bacteria is added to these plugs [Acne skin care].

How to prevent blackheads

March 8th, 2010 . Comments Off

Recently one of our readers asked how to prevent blackheads. Since there is no short answer so we decided to put up a post on this. Following are some of the tips that we have found to work.

Exfoliate: If you don’t exfoliate, you will never get rid of those blackheads. Exfoliating your skin clears your pores of dead skin cells and other oils that clog pores and create those tiny spots we all hate. I would recommend exfoliating 2-3 times per week to get rid of blackheads; any more than that will cause the skin’s natural oils to be stripped. See our articles on exfoliate here.

How to Remove Blackheads

February 24th, 2010 . 5 Comments »

Although blackheads aren’t given as much attention as acne (probably because they are less noticeable, to some extent) they are still something you need to get rid of if you are to have a clear complexion. Most people think the best way to remove them is by squeezing them but this is actually something that you shouldn’t do. Because you may remove a few of them but you’re not really curing the problem that is causing them to appear in the first place. If you tackle the cause the problem rather than the symptom, you’ll have much better results.

Blackheads are most often the result of the glands in your skin making too much sebum (which is the oil of your skin). This over production also traps dead skin cells into your pores. The reason they are black in color, is because it is in contact with air when it’s formed.

So, the best method for removing blackheads is actually quite simple, and can be done in two steps.

Here’s the first step: All you need to do is use a good (but gentle) cleanser regular. Twice a day (once in the morning, once before you go to bed) is a good habit to get in to. This will keep your pores clean of dead skin cells and remove the build up of sebum.

The next step is to use a gentle exfoliant. This will help do the job of removing dead skin cells that ma y be in your pores, and the cleanser hasn’t removed. If you don’t have a big problem with blackheads, then you could possibly get away with just using a cleanser. But if you really want to get rid of them, exfoliating your skin will help.

Why not to squeeze blackheads out?

In the long-run you’ll be making it worse. You may remove one or two, but in the process of removing them, you are sowing the seeds for future blackheads to appear.

How? By applying pressure to your face, you are pushing the dead skin cells and sebum into your pores. If you must squeeze them, please open your pores by having a bath, or just washing your face with a hot towel. At least you won’t have to apply so much pressure. But in all honestly, 9 times out of 10 it’s counter-productive to squeeze your blackheads.

Listen: It’s important that you use a gentle cleanser for this. It’s not a good idea to use anything that will cause your skin to dry out, because that will only cause your skin to make more sebum, okay? So spend a few dollars for a good cleanser.

The next step is to use a gentle exfoliant. This will help do the job of removing dead skin cells that ma y be in your pores, and the cleanser hasn’t removed.
