Home / Condition / Blackheads
Open comedones which people refer to as blackheads appear as tiny dark patches which people commonly find on their facial skin and neck and back and chest areas. The appearance of hair follicles occurs when they become blocked because of two factors which include excessive sebum production and accumulated dead skin cells. The substances which create these dirt-like appearances actually develop through the oxidation process of the material which has become blocked.
The sebaceous glands become overactive when they produce excess oil, which results in increased pore blockage that leads to blackhead development.
The hormonal shifts that occur during puberty and pregnancy and menstruation lead to increased oil production, which results in blackhead development.
People who do not exfoliate while they use products which do not clog pores will experience skin problems because their pores will get blocked.
People who spend extended periods in areas with high pollution and humidity face an increased risk of developing blackheads because these conditions act as triggers for this skin condition.
Inhibition of Comedone formation is usually facilitated by the use of gentle, non-comedogenic cleansers that tend to reduce oil buildup.
The regular exfoliation of salicylic acid or any other gentle exfoliants assists in removing dead skin cells and prevents them from accumulating and obstructing the opening.
Improve your diet by reducing sugary and fatty food in order to maintain healthy oil production.
Contact with the face often transfers oils and impurities that lead to blackheads.
