Removing Blackheads - You Should Use Quality Cleaning Agents
Author : Peter Skotnicky
Acne is a debilitating problem that many people, (particularly young people) face today and causes anger, frustration, and feelings of low esteem. Removing Blackheads, (one of the major manifestations of Acne), is key to the eradication of many types of Acne, and is what we are going to explore in this article.
It is a common misconception among many people that Acne is a condition that is brought about by uncleanliness. However, the real cause is a surplus of oil that builds up in the sebaceous glands just beneath the skin.
A blackhead in medical terms is known as an open comedo, and can look yellowish as well as black. In fact, it is when an open comedo appears in a clogged hair follicle, as they often do, that the hair gives it its black appearance. It depends on the severity as to whether or not removing blackheads will be necessary as in some instances they can disappear naturally.
However, in more chronic cases, removing blackheads by one method or another becomes necessary. There are several different techniques and methodologies one can try, but we are going to concentrate on some natural remedies.
Firstly, adopt a daily regime of washing the affected area in natural vegetable glycerin soap or a natural skin-cleansing agent from the health store. Every second day, you should use a gentle, natural facial scrub. Again, these can be bought OTC (over the counter) at most good health stores.
Successfully removing blackheads means getting down into the pores of your skin, so a warm shower can be helpful to open you pores up prior to cleaning. Twice a week, it is helpful to use a little more forceful heat by way of steaming your pores open. You can do this by putting your face over a bowl of steaming hot water (you can add a tiny amount of plant oil if you wish), and covering your head and the bowl with a towel to ensure the steam is directed at your face. If you happen to use a gym with a sauna, this will do equally well.
You can also make a natural lotion to apply to your face using 2 portions of jojoba oil, to one of rose hip seed oil, to one of lavender oil. The jojoba and the rose hip combine to help in removing the blackheads and to minimize scarring, whilst the lavender kills of any infection and help to lessen any inflammation.
Squeezing blackheads should be avoided as this can lead to heavy scarring unless done professionally.
You can now also buy something called a comedo extractor or blackhead strip. This is rather like a hair-waxing strip. You simply apply it to the skin, leave it in place for ten minutes, and then pull it off taking the blackheads with it. Two problems. It may cause scarring, and it does nothing to cure the root cause, namely the excessive build up of sebaceous oil.
Try naturally removing blackheads first. These methods do show excellent results, and avoid or minimize the possibility of scarring. Find out more about these natural methods now and banish your Acne problems forever.
