Brilio.net - Everyone has experienced several facial skin problems that are quite disturbing to their appearance. Such as acne, black spots, and blackheads - small lumps that appear in the pores of the skin and generally become acne if not treated properly. Simply put, blackheads on the cheeks are a type of acne that has not yet become inflamed.
It turns out that this facial skin problem doesn't only appear on the nose, because it can also appear on other areas of the face such as the forehead, chin and cheeks. Apart from reducing self-confidence, blackheads on the facial area can disrupt your appearance.
This condition is caused by clogged pores due to the skin's natural oil or sebum mixing with accumulated dirt - dead skin cells, dust, pollution, and even makeup residue that is not cleaned properly. This dirt and oil will clog pores and become a place for bacteria to grow. Therefore, blackheads are the precursor to inflamed acne .
Blackheads are often considered to disturb your appearance because they can make facial skin feel rough, textured and have an uneven color. It's not surprising that many people are looking for ways to overcome this facial skin problem. Starting from having treatments at beauty clinics, using blackhead removal products or what are called pore packs, to using natural ingredients.
One natural ingredient that is often used to treat blackheads on the face is egg white. This ingredient is indeed effective for removing dirt that clogs facial pores. But unfortunately, egg whites can dry out your face if used continuously. Not only that, the slightly fishy smell can also make some people uncomfortable using this material.
Another solution, you can use other natural ingredients, as shared by a TikToker via his personal account @beautytips0.2, which uses 2 kitchen ingredients, namely tomatoes and rice flour.
The content of tomatoes to remove stubborn blackheads on the face.
Tomatoes contain antioxidants and various vitamins that are beneficial for skin health. Such as removing blackheads and shrinking facial pores. This red fruit, which is often used as fresh vegetables, has enzymes and vitamins that are good for exfoliating the skin, so it can remove dirt that causes blackheads.
Tomatoes also contain little acid due to their high levels of potassium and vitamin C. The nutritional content in tomatoes can change a dull face into a natural glow. Tomatoes also act as a natural astringent which is useful for helping reduce excess oil on the face, tightening pores, and reducing blackheads, thereby helping prevent acne.
Benefits of rice flour to remove dirt that causes blackheads.
Rice flour is a natural ingredient which also has various benefits for maintaining beautiful skin, you know. Reporting from Healthline, rice flour has a fine texture which is suitable for use as a natural scrub. Rice flour is also effective in cleaning clogged pores and reducing dirt that causes blackheads.
