Blackheads are much known in every adolescent in the world, but others don’t exactly know what are they and how to deal with them. These are caused by the over secretion of the sebaceous gland also known as oil glands of our skin. The over secretion of oil will thicken and expands the pores of your skin.
When the pores are open, oil will collect on it and clogs the pores. When exposed to the air and it oxidizes and turn to color black. Blackheads are not permanent. It can be treated and can be prevented by taking care of your skin and keeping your face clean at all times.
People with oily skin are prone to blackheads, because oil attracts dirt and grime from the surroundings and it will clog pores. Blackheads enlarge pores and those who have oily skin will end up with rough and coarse texture.
Once the pores are blocked, the oil glands will be infected and results to acne. If you have acne and you want to get rid of them, remember that one way of treating acne is to control blackheads.
Blackheads appear not only on the face but in other parts of the body like your back, chest and other skin areas that are oily. Never pick on your blackheads. Trying to force your blackheads out will only damage skin tissues and it will only make your pores larger which is very unsightly. Seek a professional for the removal of your blackheads.
