Home :: Skin disorders :: Blackheads Blackheads - Get rid of themWhat is the cause of blackheads?Blackheads are caused when sebum (the skin's natural oil) collects and hardens in the pores. The congesting toxins that are being expelled through your skin from the blood and lymph fluid combines with sebum creating a pasty glue. The exposed tip becomes oxidized and black, hence the name - blackheads . Oily and combination skins are most susceptible to these. The skin's most dense oil glands are located in T-zone. That is why there you get the most blackheads. How to get rid of blackheads?Step 1 - Cleanse the face thoroughly with a good cleanser meant for oily skin. Preferrably use a salicylic acid cleanser such as this one, Joey NY Pure Pores Cleansing Gel to get rid of blackheads
Step 2 - Apply an astringent. It helps reduce oiliness. If its a bit harsh mix a bit of rose water in it. You can find some good astringents at Greatskin.com Step 3 - Apply a good quality medicated cream or gel containing resorcinol, salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. This helps is soaking the oil and helps in peeling away the blackheads. You can get creams or gels of Benzoyl Peroxide treating blackheads
Following this routine, in a matter of days you will be getting rid of blackheads. Effective Tips to get rid of blackheads
To squeeze or not to squeeze?If blackheads look ready to pop out, you could try removing them gently by using a blackhead extractor. This is a neat little instrument with a hole at one end, available from chemists. Pressure around the blackhead helps it to pop out through the hole. Also, Pore cleanser strips (blackhead extractor) for removal of blackheads.
Otherwise use your fingers. Steam your face first to soften both the skin and the material blocking the pores. Then wrap the fingers in tissues and gently roll against either side of the blackhead. If it won't budge easily, leave well alone, as too much pressure will bruise and break the skin, making your face red and blotchy for days to come, and possibly leaving tiny broken veins. Finish by applying a medicated cream to the empty pore. Only ever squeeze a spot with a definite head that looks about to burst - pressure on an unready infected spot spreads bacteria below the skin's surface, infecting the surrounding tissue. Bad spots need a doctor's advice, and he may suggest antibiotic or even hormone therapy. Best Buys for the Removal Of Blackheads:

| I have spent sooooooo much money recentley on all these expensive perfumy soaps. I realised after a while that the natural way is the best way for your skin. Get a daily routine that your skin will adapt to and a key point is be patient. It may well take up to two weeks for your pimples,blackheads,whitheads,blemishes etc... to fully disapear if you stricktley follow the routine.But we all j=know its worth it cause to get healthy, fressh and clear looking skin is the bet gift of all! | |

| STOP WASTING YOUR MONEY !!! Just use toothpaste as soap. Squeeze some toothpaste in your hand and apply water to it untill it is easily spread onto your skin. It'll help clear up your skin and reduce black heads, pimples, dirt, acne, etc. ALSO, use ICE !! Take a cube of ice, and rub it on your face or wherever you have pimples, acne, black heads, etc. This will reduce the site of them or completely remove it without a scar. =) | |
