Brilio.net - The face is a part of the body that is susceptible to various skin problems. Facial problems are not only limited to acne, blackheads are also a facial problem that is quite disturbing. Apart from reducing self-confidence, blackheads can also interfere with your appearance.
Usually blackheads will appear on oily areas of the face, especially the T-zone area - nose, chin, forehead, and sometimes on the cheeks. Blackheads are a type of skin problem that arises when a buildup of dead skin cells, dirt (dust, pollution, makeup residue), and excess oil production clogs the pores.
Blackheads are divided into two types, namely blackheads and whiteheads. Blackheads or blackheads are one of the precursors of acne and a common skin complaint. Blackheads appear as small black dots on the surface of the skin. It's not surprising that this type of blackhead will make your face feel rough in texture.
Blackheads often form around the nose and cheeks, but can also appear elsewhere on the body. The size also varies, approximately 1-2 millimeters in diameter. Actually, this facial problem can disappear on its own. However, it is not uncommon for breakouts to occur, namely the appearance of large numbers of blackheads in one area, including the nose and cheeks.
If you are one of them, there is no need to worry, because you can overcome it in various ways. Starting from having treatments at beauty clinics, using skincare products, to using natural ingredients.

Benefits of gelatin powder for removing blackheads on the face.
Gelatin powder is a kitchen ingredient that is widely used as a natural food thickener and preservative. Even so, gelatin powder actually also has benefits for skin health and beauty, you know. One of them is treating blackheads in the nose and cheek area.
Gelatin itself is a product made by cooking collagen and is made almost entirely from protein. As reported by Healthline, collagen is a protein that is most commonly found in the skin, cartilage, tendons and ligaments of animals.
That's why gelatin powder contains amino acids, such as proline, glycine, hydroxyproline, hydroxylysine, alanine and glutamic acid. Thanks to this content, gelatin is claimed to be effective in removing dirt and dead skin cells from the pores, thereby preventing the appearance of blackheads on the face.
Contains charcoal or activated charcoal to remove blackheads on the nose and cheeks.
Charcoal powder has the ability to absorb fine dust, chemicals, pollution, dust, dirt, and even bacteria found on the surface of the face and skin pores. This is thanks to the active charcoal content in it which works like particles so it can absorb oil on the surface of the skin like a magnet. However, you need to be careful for those of you who have sensitive skin, because charcoal can make your skin very dry and irritated.
You can use these two ingredients as a facial mask which is claimed to be able to remove stubborn blackheads in the nose and cheek area. Come on, see how to make and use it below, as reported by briliobeauty.net from the TikTok account @alcina_dimitrescu, Sunday (21/4).
