Blackheads are formed when open pores get filled with oil and when the oil is exposed to air it oxidizes which gives it the black appearance. They are more commonly seen on the nose and chin - areas that protrude from the face.
To get rid of blackheads, it is important to cleanse and wash your face with a good exfoliating wash like Visha Skincare’s Advanced Purifying Cleanser which helps dissolve oil. Look for products that include ingredients like AHAs, tea tree oil, zinc, and B vitamins as they clean the skin of microorganisms and unclog pores which ultimately prevents inflammation. You could also learn to use a comedone extractor to manually remove the oil plugs, but it’s important to know how to prevent scarring or you can seek professional help to get them removed.
Using vitamin A derivatives such as retinol and adapelene helps shrink oil glands and decreases oil production . Retinol is found in Visha Advanced Correcting Serum.
Use of clay and charcoal masks are desiccants- they draw out oil from the skin to decrease blackheads
Remember that we are mammals, and are covered with hair follicles. With every hair follicle is an oil gland that can make oil to oxidize. Blackheads do not perminently go away.
