Causes
The main reason for the appearance of blackheads is the increased activity of the sebaceous glands. Such "zeal" in sebum production does not always indicate health problems, and may be genetic inheritance. Abuse of sweet, fatty and salty and other not the most useful foods is also one of the factors in the increased secretion of sebum (sebum secretion). Stress and inappropriate skin care can also affect activity. It is because of the wide range of reasons for the appearance of blackheads that it is so difficult to get rid of them.
How to change care
Cleansing
If you want to reduce the number of blackheads, it is important to change the cleansing first. First, this stage must be multi-stage. Before washing with gel / foam / balm, cleanse the skin with micellar water or hydrophilic oil. Only then use any cleanser. To see if you've cleansed your skin well, run a damp cotton pad over it. If it remains clean, then you have thoroughly washed and now you can proceed to the next stages of care - applying tonic, serums and cream. By the way, an incorrectly selected cream is on the list of possible reasons for the appearance of blackheads. An overly greasy cream can disrupt the sebaceous glands and lead to clogged pores.
Products with acids
Add acid products to your skincare routine. They will help narrow pores and restore sebum production. Among the most effective are rolling peelings. Due to their format, they do not injure the surface of the skin, but they well get rid of dead cells, which normalizes the process of the sebaceous glands. Clay cleansing masks are also effective at getting rid of blackheads as they not only cleanse but also delicately polish the skin.
Salon procedures
Ultrasonic cleaning is an effective procedure for removing blackheads. Unlike the manual one performed by hand, it does not require recovery and does not cause inflammation, which often appears after manual cleaning, especially for those with sensitive skin types. Peels are also good for getting rid of blackheads, the intensity of which should be chosen together with a beautician.>
