Brilio.net - Not only acne, blackheads are also a facial skin problem that can disrupt your appearance. This condition is usually characterized by the appearance of black or white spots that appear on several areas of the face. Apart from making your face dull and the color uneven, blackheads can also trigger the appearance of inflamed acne, you know.
Blackheads form when skin pores become blocked by sebum (natural skin oil), dead skin cells, and dirt. There are several factors that influence the appearance of blackheads, ranging from excessive skin oil production, changes in body hormones, use of skin care products that clog pores, to nutritional imbalances in the body due to eating fatty foods too often. As a result, it is not uncommon for blackheads to accumulate around the surface of the facial skin.
In the facial area, blackheads most often appear on the nose. The reason is, the nose is the T-zone area of the face which has more sweat production, making it easier for pores to become blocked. If not cleaned immediately, clogged pores will turn into blackheads.
In order to overcome the problem of blackheads, maintaining skin cleanliness by washing your face regularly, avoiding products that can clog pores, and maintaining a balanced diet are effective steps. Apart from that, you can also use natural ingredients as an alternative, you know.
