Brilio.net - There are many facial problems that make a number of people anxious, such as dryness, the appearance of acne and scars, and dull skin. Apart from that, there are also other skin problems that irritate you, namely blackheads.
Blackheads are small bumps in the pores of the skin which are the beginnings of acne. Blackheads are generally found on facial skin, but can also appear on other parts of the body, such as the shoulders, chest, back or arms.
Blackheads are divided into blackheads and whiteheads. The surface of whiteheads is covered with a layer of skin and is white. Meanwhile, the surface of the blackhead is open and exposed to air so that the color changes to brown or black.
Blackheads do not cause pain, unless they become infected. This infection can cause the skin to become red and swollen, causing acne to appear. Both blackheads and whiteheads have the potential to become acne.
Blackheads form when skin pores become blocked by dirt, oil, and dead skin cells. The sebaceous glands (oil glands) in the skin produce sebum, a natural oil that helps maintain skin moisture. However, when sebum production is excessive, especially during puberty or due to genetic factors, the likelihood of blackheads increases.
Dead skin cells naturally peel off the surface of the skin every day. However, if dead skin cells are not exfoliated properly, they can clog the skin pores. This is what also causes the formation of blackheads.
In addition, exposure to air pollution and dust can stick to the skin. This condition causes a buildup of dirt on the surface of the skin. When dirt and pollutants enter the skin pores, blackheads form.
If you experience this skin problem, there is a solution that is effective in overcoming it, namely by using natural ingredients. This topical treatment was also carried out by a South Korean beauty vlogger @ACoreanaBeauty, Saturday (2/3).
