A blackhead is a dark blocked pore. It's a small plug formed by fatty matter. It blocks follicles on the skin. A blackhead may appear anywhere on the body. But more often than not, it's the face!
Besides affecting the health of the skin, the blackhead effects the psyche too! Naturally, nobody especially the youth would like to be spotted all over the face. No wonder, many try to peel off or scratch the blackheads. This is no remedy. It only worsens the problem as scratching or peeling is only going to leave you with a face full of scars, swellings and inflammations.
The Don'ts - All That You Must Avoid!
-
Besides scratching, please don’t rub your face frequently with a cleaner. Many believe that frequent rubbing helps to get rid of the blackheads. The truth is that it only makes the skin even more sensitive to further infections.
-
Do not keep touching your face the entire day. It only aggravates the problem as some of the dust, dirt and the sweat that might have accumulated on the tips of the fingers settles down on the skin. It results in more of the pimples, and the blackheads, of course.
-
Avoid junk food. And minimize consuming oily foods. It may result in an even oilier skin. It further results into more of acne and pimples and finally, the blackheads!
-
Stop worrying. Establish and keep peace of mind. A disturbed mind only makes the oil glands more active. And we know that an oily skin is finally going to result in blackheads.
The Do's - All That You Can to Cure the Blackheads
Just wash your face or the affected skin with an antiseptic cleanser. Make sure that its ingredients include salicylic acid. Now cover your face with a hot clean washcloth. Remember you are going to cure your skin and not torture it further. The washcloth must not be hotter than you can tolerate as you have to keep your face covered for 10 minutes. The salicylic acid in the cleanser helps make the skin moist and you would be able to clean the blackheads with a clean tissue paper after 10 - 15 minutes.
Apply glycerin to your face before you go to bed. Next morning, use a tissue and gently remove the blackheads. You may also use castor oil instead of glycerin. Wash your face with lukewarm water the next morning and take out the blackheads with a soft hand. Repeat the procedure for a week. Whether you use glycerin or castor oil, there will be no scars, infections or open pores left behind. After a week, you will find that many of the blackheads will simply disappear!
You may try keeping the pores of the skin unclogged in the first place itself. Use soap specifically meant for the purpose. Use the soap at least twice in the day. It will help remove excess of the oil leaving the skin free of acne, and hence, the blackheads.
