Blackheads appear on your skin as dark formations due to the excessive oil production in the pores. As you may already know, there are a range of treatments available to help deal with blackheads. However, these remedies can’t treat the root cause of blackheads. Dermatologists point out that maintaining good beauty habits plays an important role in fighting blackheads. This article lists some dos and don’ts for blackhead sufferers below.
- Never squeeze blackheads, or it will lead to the spread of inflammation. What's worse, this can easily damage the skin and run the risk of a scar. It is suggested to pick the blackheads in a beauty salon twice a month.
- Wash your face with a mild cleanser or soap every day. It can help to rid dirt and oil in the skin, and maintain the normal oil gland function. Remember, washing too much can be bad for you and will irritate your skin more. The excessive stimulation to the skin will lead to more oil production, and thus more blackheads. Doctors say that you should wash your face only twice a day or three at the most.
- Never use harsh cleanser. Never do massage or skinpeeling in a beauty salon in an inflammatory condition. Despite the condition is better, it is not a good idea to massage too much during a skin-care treatment and make sure to avoid massaging the affected area.
- Don't choose oily cosmetics. Be cautious of applying sun cream, cover cream, powders etc. It is well advised to choose tightening and anti-inflammative toner. Oily skin also needs plenty of water to balance oil production and improve the overall health of the skin.
- Maintain a balanced diet. Try to avoid irritated food, as pepper, mutton, oil food, seafood etc.
- The Chinese Medicine believes that improving stomach and intestinal function and promoting regular bowel movements also play an important role in dealing with skin conditions like blackhead. Both of them can detoxify your body. That is because the external manifestation results from internal disorders.
- Rest well. Always get a sound sleep in the evening and maintain good psychological status.
Here are the top two home remedies recommended to get rid of blackheads.
- Honey and Brown Sugar Mask
Add some vinegar in warm water and wash your face with it to open up the pores of the skin. Mix honey and brown sugar together to make a paste. Apply the paste to your face for 30 minutes. Rinse with clean water. Then apply the toner and cream. Do it once or twice a week. Regular use of this mask can help to whiten your skin and get rid of blackheads, keeping the skin soft and smooth. - Soda
Dissolve soda in water and soak the cosmetic cotton into the mixture. Apply to the nose for 15 minutes, and you’ll see the blackheads coming out of the pores. Wipe them off with paper napkin.
Most people are constantly plagued by blackheads, and they complain that it seems difficult to prevent and treat them. Those horrible little blocked pores seriously affect the appearance and self image of a person. Although some blackhead treatments have proved actively to help clean blocked pores, they can’t prevent the formation of blackheads and may irritate the skin as a result. Just maintain good habits and try natural remedies, and you will have soft and flawless skin again.
