Brilio.net - Activities that you often do outside sometimes expose your skin to excessive sunlight, pollution and particles. Of course, exposure to all of these things makes your skin unhealthy. It even triggers a source of problems, such as dull skin, acne and blackheads.
A number of people may have experienced the appearance of blackheads on the nose and chin. Appearing in clearly visible areas of the face, it may make them feel uncomfortable with the presence of these unwanted blackheads. This condition makes you look for effective ways to get rid of blackheads so that your face is clean and bright.
Before discussing effective ways to get rid of blackheads on your face , you need to know the cause of the problem first. It's important for you to know this, so that blackheads don't nest again on your face.
The first influencing factor is excessive sebum production. Sebum is a natural oil produced by sebaceous glands beneath the surface of the skin. Excessive sebum production can cause clogged pores and form blackheads.
Meanwhile, the second factor comes from dead skin cells that accumulate on the surface of the skin. This makes your pores clogged and triggers the formation of blackheads.
The third factor is hormonal changes that occur during adolescence, pregnancy and menstruation. In this phase, hormonal changes can increase sebum production and ultimately make your face blackheads.
Giving the nose and chin the appearance of small spots, blackheads must be removed immediately. No need to squeeze blackheads until your skin hurts, you can use more comfortable tricks such as applying a scrub.
This is like what the woman did who uploaded her tricks on Sara Dewi's YouTube channel. This woman is known to remove blackheads using a kitchen ingredient, namely salt .
It turns out that this natural ingredient is not only used for cooking mixtures. But it has other uses, namely removing blackheads on the nose.
Benefits of salt to remove blackheadsNot without reason, this salt is used as a natural exfoliating agent to help remove dead skin cells which can clog pores and cause blackheads. Reporting from healthline.com, Friday (1/3) when used in a scrub, salt helps remove layers of dead skin cells, leaving skin smoother and cleaner. In addition, salt has antimicrobial properties which can help kill bacteria and microorganisms. The presence of these two ingredients is believed to be able to cleanse the face of blackheads.
Can salt treat excessive sebum?Apart from being used to remove blackheads, salt is also believed to absorb excess oil on the surface of the skin. This helps reduce excess shine and minimizes the formation of blackheads. Therefore, using salt for facial care can make oily skin healthy.
Even though this salt has benefits for skin beauty, salt has corrosive properties that can damage the skin. This is if used excessively. So that you avoid this, it would be better to use salt in sufficient quantities.
