Nose Blackheads

Nose blackheads

        Forehead, nose, chin and sometimes ears, are the most affected areas by the blackheads.

The black dots

        Okay, an explanation is a bit technical but not so complicated than that: the pore is blocked because of excessive sebum in the pilosebaceous follicle, and in contact with air, the tip oxidizes and becomes black. This is the most commonly known as comedones or blackheads.

What to do?

        Have a good hygiene with suitable products (consult a dermatologist who will help you). This requires a good cleaning of the skin, by applying a clarifying lotion and a non-comedogenic cream in the morning and in the evening. Remember to make a purifying mask and a scrub descaling once a week. If you are "severely affected", you may need treatment. In all cases, you must have patience because the dots have a tough skin. But with discipline, you should get results.

This you must not do!

        You must not break it if you want to avoid the risk of end up with red buttons. The fiddle is not recommended especially if your hands are dirty. Finally, forget moisturizing creams for the same reason!

Overcome nose blackheads

• Scrub. First step: unblock pores by removing dead cells. The method? Use a gentle exfoliator once or twice a week, only on the the affected areas (often the nose, forehead and chin).
• Steam. What for? To raise the temperature of the skin and dilate the pores to facilitate the extraction of blackheads. At home you have two solutions. One of them is putting your face over a bowl of very hot water. The second solution, more pro, is using an electrical device that distributes steam.
• Proceed smoothly and clean with two absorbent papers. Try not to injure the skin with the nails. Start with the most visible black spots and stop if the skin becomes red. In this case, patience: it is better to repeat the operation a week later.
• You have to deal with deep pores. The trick? Apply a regular care to control the flow of sebum and to contract the pores.
