Brilio.net - Blackheads are a type of mild acne that is quite disturbing to your appearance. Blackheads appear when oil glands produce excessive oil in the skin. This oil on the face will mix with dirt and clog the pores. Blackheads can appear on any part of the body, but generally appear in the T zone, namely the nose, chin and forehead.
Blackheads themselves are divided into 2 types, namely blackheads or blackheads and whiteheads or whiteheads. Whiteheads or whiteheads are enlarged hair follicles that are blocked by skin oils, cells and bacteria. Whiteheads are also known as closed comedones and are the most basic type of acne because they are below the surface of the skin.
This facial skin problem is a type of acne that is quite difficult to get rid of. Apart from hormonal problems, this condition can also occur due to a lack of maintaining facial skin cleanliness. Therefore, many people try to remove this type of blackhead by squeezing it.
However, instead of going away, sometimes this habit actually triggers inflammation and causes the skin to become infected. No need to worry, because you can get rid of whiteheads on your face just by using natural ingredients. Like the upload from a TikTok user with the account @bunila20, which shows how to clean the dirt that causes blackheads with granulated sugar and petroleum jelly.

It turns out that you can use granulated sugar as a natural scrub, because it is believed to be able to overcome stubborn blackhead problems. The sweetener's function is to erode dead skin cells and dirt that clogs pores. The slightly rough surface will act as a physical exfoliator.
This ability can be useful for cleaning dirt and removing whiteheads on the face. Regular use as a facial scrub will also make the pores appear smaller and your face automatically smooth.
Petroleum jelly can help treat blackheads on the face
Even though it is not an effective ingredient for removing blackheads, petroleum jelly can act as a softening agent to avoid skin irritation due to the somewhat rough texture of granulated sugar. Apart from that, petroleum jelly is also effective in keeping the skin moist after using the scrub.
Relying on these two natural ingredients, you can make an effective facial scrub to remove whiteheads and make your face automatically smooth. Here's how to make and use it, as reported by briliobeauty.net from the TikTok account @bunila20 which has been watched 396 thousand times, Saturday (4/5).
