Tips For Removing Blackheads and Whiteheads

Teens with all different kinds of skin can have the common problem of whiteheads and blackheads. Around the facial area is where these skin problems commonly occur, for example on the chin, nose and forehead. Sebum is a type of oil that forms in the ducts or the sebaceous glands and this sebum along with dead skin cells cause the pores to become clogged which is why acne is formed. In the meantime, whiteheads small white spots, a bit like a pearl in appearance, occur due to over-discharge of sebum. They crop up in the eye region.

It is important to know that the basic premise here is that you have cleansed the skin well to begin with, in order to extract these skin nightmares. You really must begin with clean skin. You will aggravate the condition of the skin if not.

1. If you want to have less blackheads and whiteheads, you should always keep your skin very clean. When you wash your face you should use oil or alcohol-free solutions. It will be a lot easier to get every bit of dirt out if the skin is properly prepared. Using an exfoliator will encourage a good clear skin because it will diminish the blemishes.

Have a bowl of boiling water and just cover your head with a towel. Heat will open up your facial pores, which will help it respond better to the facial it will receive. Other items that can be helpful are a small lamp and mirror (a little common sense is all you will need for this).

You can combine 6 teaspoons of porridge together with 3 teaspoons of honey. Put it on your dirt-free face. You can let it stay for 20 minutes on your face. Rinse off with tepid water not hot. This helps to prevent dirt from gathering in the pores.

2. You need to wrap your fingernails with a clean tissue. This will avoid the sharpness of your nails causing potential damage to your skin. Get the whitehead or blackhead between your nails and apply pressure on the skin surrounding it. If it is prepared to be extracted, it will come out without difficulty. If not, pass on that one and move on to the next one. The tissue over your nails also traps the dirt that comes out so this is a dual purpose also. If suffering from cystic acne, one can use a lancet. These help because they already create a canal for the infected dirt to come out.

You don't have to scratch with your nails, which can be very crude sometimes. You must not use lancets twice - just discard after one use- unless it is able to be cleaned and boiled to remove germs.

If you follow these steps, you will see that you don't need to go to a beauty salon to get a high-quality facial. You can do it for yourself and not spend any money. The main point is the cleanliness that you have to maintain at all times. The cleaner you can keep the whole are, the better it will be for your condition. When it comes to cleaning and removing blackheads and whiteheads you'll be the expert for your own skin.
