The causes of blackheads, how to easily solve blackheads

Understanding the causes of blackheads can help us better remove acne so that acne will no longer be a problem for us.

Enlarged pores lead to the formation of blackheads

Cause: Enlarged pores are the main cause of blackheads. The excess oil in the sebum in enlarged pores is more likely to oxidize and harden, thus forming blackheads.

Improvement methods:

1. Perform exfoliation twice a week to soften the skin's stratum corneum, remove aging cuticles, and deeply cleanse the skin.

2. During daily cleaning, you can use alternating hot and cold water to clean, because hot water can effectively clean the oil and dirt in the skin, while cold water can shrink the pores.

3. Moisturizing is very important. The cause of enlarged pores is generally due to lack of water in the skin, which causes oil secretion, clogging the pores and making them larger.

4. For skin with large pores, you can choose products containing plant ingredients such as aloe vera, calendula, oatmeal, etc., which can effectively improve skin pore problems.

Using cosmetics/skin care products that are not suitable for you

If you use products containing too much oil or protein for a long time, the skin will be over-nourished and unable to absorb the nutrients, resulting in whiteheads. After oxidation, blackheads will form, which are tightly adsorbed in the pores and cannot be washed away using daily cleansing products.

Improvement methods:

1. Change your skin care and choose refreshing skin care products without added oil. You should pay attention to the ingredients when purchasing, and try to choose milder skin care products with pure plant extracts.

2. Change cosmetics. Base makeup products are most likely to cause blackheads. You can choose a foundation with a lighter texture to avoid clogging of pores. When setting makeup, you can choose a mineral spray, because mineral spray has a good effect of soothing and stabilizing the skin. When removing makeup, it is better to use cleansing water instead of cleansing oil because the texture of cleansing water is more refreshing and comfortable.

Eating habits

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, not paying attention to diet, long-term use, spicy, overly greasy, and overly irritating food. It leads to heat leakage, which results in the failure to discharge moisture in the body, causing excessive oil secretion in the body, thereby clogging the pores and causing blackheads, acne, pimples, etc.

Improvement methods:

1. The diet should be lighter, especially in the summer. After eating spicy food, choose some heat-clearing food to adjust. (Foods that clear heat are generally cold foods, so girls should avoid them when they are menstruating)

2. Drinking more water can also regulate excessive oil secretion.
