THE BLACK SPOTS: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
What are blackheads due to?
The blackhead, also called "comedone", is the visible part of an excess of sebum produced by the sebaceous glands. Sebum is a fatty substance intended particularly to lubricate the skin and prevent bacteria from penetrating into the epidermis. During adolescence, a period in which the body experiences hormonal turmoil, the sebaceous glands tend to produce excess sebum... this is what causes the appearance of a small comedone. Upon contact with air, it oxidizes and turns black, which gives rise to the first manifestation of acne, blackheads.
The favorite places of blackheads...
As a logical consequence, blackheads appear on parts of the body that are provided with sebaceous glands. In particular on the face, more specifically on the famous "T zone": the forehead, the nose and the chin. Blackheads can also be found on the torso, shoulders, and back, more often in men.
Who can blackheads affect the most?
It is certainly not a question of hygiene in any case and everyone can have blackheads. For hormonal reasons, adolescents are particularly exposed to these blemishes, but it also affects a not insignificant part of adults - women and men.
How to remove blackheads?
Blackheads are therefore due to an excess of sebum, a favorable terrain for the development of acne. It is better to worry about them from the moment they appear... And to understand that, in order to enjoy cared-for skin again, it is essential to maintain good daily habits.
THE 3 GOLDEN RULES TO PREVENT THE APPEARANCE OF BLACK POINTS
1. Perform a facial cleansing with appropriate products
Washing your face in the morning and at night is the basic gesture. To clean your skin in the morning, you should use a water-based cleansing gel, and if your skin is sensitive, you should choose a milder cleanser, such as a cleansing cream, in order to protect it.
Before going to sleep, removing make-up is mandatory, so you must choose specific make-up removers and lotions according to your skin type.
As for the boys, they must take care of the moment of shaving using foams
for softening, antiseptic and antibacterial shaving.
2. Moisturize and treat
Hydration is essential, also for oily skin, because it contributes to its balance and good health. But not all creams are suitable.
To eliminate blackheads, excess sebum and shine, you must apply a 2-in-1 care daily that is moisturizing, non-comedogenic and purifying at the same time, formulated with specific active ingredients.
3. Descale and free the skin of impurities
Depending on the sensitivity of your skin, you should use a gentle exfoliating care that is not aggressive with your skin more or less frequently. The accumulation of sebum and dead cells that clog the pores is indeed the origin of blackheads and other blemishes. It is therefore necessary to descale the skin regularly... but gently with the help of appropriate exfoliating and nourishing care. These products are formulated to purify the epidermis, remove impurities, refine the horny layer, and to promote cleaner skin.
Daily grooming with suitable products, specific care that is both moisturizing and purifying, plus regular nutrition: this ritual in 3 gestures will allow you to eliminate blackheads and restore cleaner skin, simply... and effective!
