Blackheads
Blackheads are caused when sebum (the skin's natural oil) collects and hardens in the pores. The congesting toxins that are being expelled through your skin from the blood and lymph fluid combines with sebum creating a pasty glue. The exposed tip becomes oxidized and black, hence the name - blackheads . Oily and combination skins are most susceptible to these. The skin's most dense oil glands are located in T-zone. That is why there you get the most blackheads.
Effective Tips to get rid of blackheads:
-Exfoliate the blackhead prone area 3-4 times a week using facial exfoliators and scrubs.
-Use creams containing AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Fruit acids) like glyco-creams that will clear away any dead skin cells and "expose" the blackhead. Use the AHA's every 3 days or so.
-Keep your hair away from your face. Greasy hair and skin go together, and hair can spread infection.
-Sunshine or ultra-violet light encourages skin peeling, and so helps to clear blocked pores. So sunbathing or use of sun-beds in moderation can be helpful.
-Avoid washing the face with soaps more than twice a day. Instead wash your face often with plain water splashes.
-Often use a mask with a clay base such as ZIRH's Clay Mask
