BLACKHEADS
WHITEHEADS
PROBLEMS
Blackheads are commonly
misunderstood to be caused by dirt/grease. So, if you think about keeping
your skin clean and dry will never solve your blackheads problem.
Blackheads are formed when
hormones cause too much sebum (oil) to be produced + dead skin cells get in
the way + surface oxidation.
Tips & Pitfalls:
1) Avoid bar soap & use GENTLE water-soluble cleanser. Bar soap content can
clog pores.
2) Be careful about MORE moisturizing cleanser/products. They contain
emollient (meaning thick or greasy creams - oil).
3) Use 1-2% BHA products to exfoliate. Choose wisely to suit your skin.
4) Topical antibiotics & benzoyl peroxide are useless in blackheads bcoz no
bacterial involvement at all.
5) Absorbing EXCESS oil gently. Clay mask or oil blotting papers help. But
don't over do it!
6) Srub ONLY remove top portion of blackheads only.
