Blackheads, The DO'S and DON'TS.

Blackheads are small bumps that appear on your skin due to clogged hair follicles, usually a mild type of acne mostly form on the face but can make a presence on other parts of the body; such as 

• back
• chest
• neck 
• arms 
• shoulders.

Some factors that increase the chances of these developing acne and blackheads could be: 

•  producing too much body oil 

• the build up of Propionibacterium bacteria on your skin.

• irruption of the hair follicles when dead skin doesn't shed on a regular basis.

• undergoing hormonal changes increase oil production during the teen years, during menstruation or when under birth control pills.

Other factors include:

• the blocking or covering pores by cosmetics and clothing

• heavy sweating

• shaving and other activities that open the hair follicles

• high humidity and grease in the immediate environment

DO'S FOR BLACKHEADS.

Most people manage their blackheads at home without needing to see a doctor, but some activities can make them worse or trigger a more severe type of acne.  

CLEANSING: Special scrubs for gently exfoliating the face can help; look for fragrance free, and for sensitive skin and try to avoid anything that may make overly skin dry. 


MAKE-UP AND COSMETICS: Use the non-comedogenic products that don't clog the pores, instead should keep the pores clean and open to avoid the buildup of dead skin.

FOOD: Research has not confirmed that cutting out fries or chocolate either will or will not reduce acne, but a healthful, balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables is beneficial for overall health.

DON'TS FOR BLACKHEADS.

Hormonal triggers can make blackheads unavoidable, but some factors can increase the risk or make them worse. 

SQUEEZING: Avoid squeezing blackheads, even with a metal blackhead remover, as this can irritate the skin and make the problem worse.

SCRUBBING: This can worsen the problem. Scrubbing removes sebum. The sebaceous glands then work harder to replace the sebum, leading to more blockages and the risk of inflammatory acne.

REMOVERS: Removal strips, masks, and vacuums should be used with caution, as these can irritate and damage the skin if misused.
