[Yakson House] How to get rid of blackheads
Most of us have problems with annoying blackheads on our nose.
Common and annoying!
Blackheads occur when your pores when your pores become clogged with excess
sebum and dead skin cells. The difference between a black head and a white head is
simply whether or not the pore is open or closed. If the pore is open, the plug of
sebum/skin cells oxidizes as it is in contact with the oxygen in the air, which turns it
black. Blackheads are not caused by dirt. Let's make that clear from the beginning.
Scrubbing your face is not a good way to get rid of your blackheads as it can
worsen your skin and blackheads.
Here are some few tips that you can use to remove blackheads.
1. Clay time
Bentonite clay is a mineral rich healing substance that has been used for centuries to
treat a number of ailments, chiefly skin related. Because of its molecules "electrical
charge" when wet, it does an amazing job of drawing out oils or other impurities
locked in your pores.
2. Egg white mask
Egg whites from an easy mask that can be used to temporarily tighten pores, thus
reducing chances of future blackheads, and will also remove current blackheads. Egg
whites are also rich in nutrients for your skin, and are a little less drying than some
other home remedies for blackheads.
You will need 1 egg, Facial tissue or toilet paper, A small bowl, and a clean towel.
Separate the yolk from the white and rinse your face. Pat your face dry and then
apply a thin layer of egg white over your skin.
3. Honey and Milk pore strips
Milk and honey both have properties that are good for skin. Honey has antibacterial
properties, and the lactic acid in milk is said to help keep skin soft and supple. The
main purpose here though is when mixed together, to act as an adhesive.
Mix 1 tablespoon of organic raw honey with 1 teaspoon of milk. Heat if for 5-10
seconds in the microwave, and then mix again to blend thoroughly. When it's a
comfortable temperature, apply a thin layer over blackheads, and then gently but
firmly pat a strip of dry, clean, cotton onto it. Let dry(to play it safe, wait at least 20
minutes) and carefully peel the strip away. Rinse with cold water and moisturize as
usual.
4. H2O daily blackhead treatment
While pore strips and face masks work wonders, they can only be used several times
a week to avoid drying your skin out to much. If you want to do something daily to
prevent your blackheads, a gentle rinsing with water 1-2 times a day is the way to
go. This keeps things that can make your pores appear larger such as excess sebum
and dead skin flushed away and your pores clear. Be sure to use a light moisturizer
when you are done to prevent your skin from trying to produce excess sebum to
accommodate for dryness.
