Brilio.net - Blackheads are a facial problem that is as disturbing as acne. Blackheads are small lumps that appear in the pores of the skin and most often occur on the nose and surrounding skin areas. Blackheads are often considered to disturb your appearance because they can make facial skin feel rough, textured and have an uneven color.
As a type of acne, blackheads can cause the formation of larger pimples or what is also called inflamed acne. So, it's not surprising that many people want to know how to deal with blackheads effectively.
This facial skin problem occurs due to blockages in the pores or hair follicles. These blockages come from a buildup of oil, bacteria, or dead skin cells which are triggered by various factors, ranging from stress, hormones, to using skincare or makeup products that are not suitable for your skin type.
Not only that, blackheads can also appear due to a lack of proper facial hygiene, so that various dirt such as dust, pollution and makeup residue will also clog facial pores.
There are various ways you can actually remove blackheads from your face. Starting from having treatments at beauty clinics, using blackhead removal products or what are called pore packs, to using natural ingredients.

Coffee is a drink that is believed to be able to remove dead skin cells, treat acne and remove blackheads. It's not surprising that this natural ingredient is widely used as a skin care ingredient.

To reduce blackheads, you can use a black coffee mask on the nose or parts of the face with blackheads.

Egg whites contain the enzyme lysozyme which is effective in removing blackheads. This enzyme is able to destroy the bacteria that cause blackheads and acne. Apart from that, egg whites can also absorb excess oil and remove dead skin cells, dust and dirt which causes blackheads to appear.
Reporting from the medicalnewstoday.com page, the benefits of an egg white mask can overcome various facial skin problems, including tightening the skin, removing dead skin cells, removing blackheads, absorbing excess oil, and helping fade black spots and spots on the face.
