Brilio.net - Blackheads on the face appear when a buildup of dead skin cells and excess oil production clogs the pores. Apart from dead skin cells, other dirt such as dust, pollution and makeup residue that is not cleaned optimally can also cause blackheads to appear.

Usually, blackheads will appear on oily areas of the face, such as the nose, cheeks, forehead and chin. Not without reason, this area of the face has more oil glands than other areas. Because of this, the face looks dull, textured and has an uneven color.

The presence of blackheads on the face can really disturb your appearance and reduce your self-confidence. Even if left unchecked, blackheads can also trigger the appearance of inflamed acne. The reason is, blackheads or dirt trapped in the skin pores will mix with bacteria and cause acne inflammation.

So, to overcome this condition, many people do facials at beauty clinics. Facials are indeed an effective way to remove blackheads quickly. Even so, it turns out you can do your own facial at home using the ingredients you have. Of course, with results that are no less effective and more economical.

Benefits of petroleum jelly for treating blackheads.

Emollients or moisturizers such as petroleum jelly function to form a layer of oil on the top of the skin, to keep the water in the skin from evaporating. Consisting only of a single raw ingredient, petroleum jelly feels very soft on the skin. So, thanks to these benefits, you can use petroleum jelly to remove blackheads without irritating your face.

Plastic wrap and a warm towel can help open the pores.

Using plastic wrap and a warm towel can help open facial pores. Well, these open pores will make it easier to clean blackheads optimally. Not only that, even stubborn blackheads can be removed with this method.

Tongs or hair grips function to remove blackheads.

The curved hole at the base of the stick can remove blackheads just by pressing it on the surface of the skin. This method is very effective for removing even stubborn blackheads. Even so, you have to be more careful when using it so as not to cause irritation or injury to the face.
