Blackhead Treatment

Blackheads are caused by overactivity of the oil gland plugging of the pore.
Blackheads can also be aggravated by dead cell accumulating within your open pores, when the skin is not cleansed regularly or effectively.

The dead cells plug the pore opening resulting in oil build-up within the pore.

Blackhead Treatment

You can extract blackheads yourself if there is no infection on and around it.

Take care to only use sterile materials and work in a clean environment.

Begin by steaming your skin for a while over a bowl of hot water to loosen the pores and make the extraction process less painful. Be careful not to scald yourself.

Rather than use a tissue to squeeze the blackhead out, use a flat blackhead remover, or a comedone extractor. These cost very little and are available at pharmacy and beauty stores.

• Do NOT over squeeze your skin or you might invite acne formation at the distressed part.
• Do NOT extract aggravated, inflamed or infected acne lesions. This will not only worsen the acne but result in future scarring.

If you’re in doubt about your blackhead removing abilities or if the area looks too sensitive to tinker with, visit a professional, instead.

Aestheticians and Dermatologist clinics offer deep cleansing facial treatments designed to keep blackheads and white heads away. The cost of damaging your skin for life is way too high to gamble with.
