BLACKHEADS: SOLUTIONS TO ADOPT AND PROBLEMS TO AVOID
Clean, blemish-free skin is what we all strive for. No one wants to have blackheads on their face, they especially appear in areas where pores are more dilated.
Blackheads, also known as comedones, are a slight blockage of the pores with our own sebum and pollution particles, makeup and residues of other skincare products that may accumulate in the pores.
Subsequently, this blockage is oxidized, becoming darker and this is what we call a blackhead. If it becomes infected and bacteria proliferate it can lead to the appearance of acne.
It’s simple to prevent them from forming: maintain a consistent and daily cleansing routine, prevent pollution from accumulating and if the routine is appropriate, you will avoid excess oils on the skin.
WHAT ARE BLACKHEADS?
Blackheads are one of the most common skin problems and often the most difficult to solve permanently. Knowing how and why they occur is essential to get rid of them: they are simply pores clogged by excess sebum mixed with dirt and dead skin cells. This excess sebum oxidizes when it comes into contact with air, hence the characteristic black color.
It is a common concern to prevent them appearing on the face and learn how to remove them in young skin, but they do not only appear on young skin.
WHAT CAUSES BLACKHEADS?
Not following a proper beauty routine is the main cause of blackheads on the face, and once they have appeared, it is difficult to get rid of them.
Not using sunscreen on a daily basis also causes this accumulation of sebum to oxidize, BIOTHERM's anti-aging sunscreens protect you not only from the sun but also from pollution.
Pollution, dehydrated skin, and other factors that can make the skin look dull, can cause the pores to dilate making it easier for them to accumulate sebum and traces of makeup or cosmetic products.
We will show you how to prevent them from appearing, by first learning what causes them.
