The best remedies for acne. The best remedies for blackheads on the face

Attention! The information on the site cannot be used as a basis for making a diagnosis or starting self-treatment! No site can replace a visit to the doctor. Do not self-medicate based on information on the Internet, it is dangerous!

The best and most effective remedy for blackheads and acne is that which reliably and permanently eliminates the problem.

But which one to choose, folk, home-cooked, from a pharmacy (supermarket) or a salon technique?

Metabolic disorders in the epidermis are the most common occurrence for oily skin.

At the same time, the skin on the face receives less nutrients, which is manifested by a dull color, uneven relief and various aesthetic defects in the form of black dots, pimples, acne, and others.

Excessive activity of the sebaceous glands causes the appearance of comedones. They are open and closed. Closed comedones are blockages in the sebaceous ducts in the skin.

When they become inflamed, lesions appear on the face in the form of acne. Open comedones are black dots, plugs that clog pores on the surface of the face.

They consist of cells of the stratum corneum that do not have time to be removed, held together by sebum. The color of the black dots is given by enzymes formed during the oxidation process.

The peak of increased greasiness occurs at a young age, when the body has the most hormones.

The sensitivity of the sebaceous glands to the hormonal background is individual, which explains the presence of three main skin types. With the age-related decrease in the number of hormones, fat content also decreases.

As a result, dry type skin suffers from dehydration and lack of protection, while oily and combination type epidermis normalizes and ages later.

You can just wait until the hormones abate, and the processes in the skin of the face will return to normal without outside help.

But it will take a long time to wait, and 10% of people with an oily type of epidermis do not notice any special changes in the fat content of the skin on their faces even after 30 years.

Since oily skin has problems with exfoliating the cells of the stratum corneum, that is, with skin renewal, it requires special care.

This is daily cleansing, regular cosmetic procedures (masks, scrubs and others), the use of special cosmetics for the corresponding type of epidermis.

This allows not only to look good, despite the peculiarities of the skin on the face, but also helps to preserve youth.

Any external agent (folk, homemade or bought at a pharmacy) helps against black spots for a short time.

After a few days, sometimes hours, the plugs clog the pores again.

To avoid this, you should act on the causes of the problem. There are two of them: hormonal levels and malnutrition.

If you replace sweet, fatty, fried, peppered and refined with sour-milk products, vegetable fiber and complex carbohydrates, then after a few months you will notice an improvement in skin condition and a decrease in the number of acne and black spots on the face.

Movement helps to restore the hormonal balance in the body. The most ordinary walks can normalize hormones and, therefore, improve mood, condition of nails, hair and skin.

True, you need to walk every day, passing at least seven kilometers.

How to deal with black dots?

Where to look for a remedy for comedones: acne and blackheads? Can a home mask against these problems replace pharmacy drugs? Reviews on the Internet and recommendations from girlfriends are sometimes contradictory.

Firstly, it's all about individual skin sensitivity to various ingredients. Secondly, under different conditions of the procedure, the same mask can be effective and useless.

For one skin, mechanical cleaning (squeezing) is suitable, not only in the salon, but also at home, or masks made from soda and salt, which are somewhat aggressive.

For some, harmless kaolin (white clay) will cause dryness and tightness of the skin of the face - one of the best remedies for blackheads and acne that can be used at home.

The search for "one's own" means is a creative, individual process. Reviews from other people will help determine the most popular recipes, and then through trial and error, you will have to determine what your skin will love.

If you doubt the method you are interested in, then you can try it on the nose, where black dots appear most often, and only for the second or third time proceed to the treatment of the entire skin on the face.

For strong concerns and especially conflicting reviews, test on the crook of the elbow or on the wrist.

You will definitely achieve a result if you understand that it is possible only with certain focused efforts and following some rules:

regularity. Masks, scrubs and patches must be applied 2-3 times a week;
steamed pores before a mask or other procedure - a way to effectively clean them;
a combination of various methods, for example, for steaming the face, you can use a decoction of medicinal herbs that are useful for oily skin;
calmness and confidence, even if after the first time there is no result or it turned out to be not what was expected. Mistakes are experiences that will make your skin perfect.

It is incorrect to say that home cosmetics can compete with salon methods for removing acne, blackheads and other aesthetic skin defects.

The main advantage of a professional approach is the presence of a professional who has knowledge and experience in this area.

However, even at home, no one interferes with obtaining the necessary knowledge and gaining experience, since there is no shortage of information in the modern world.

Get rid of cosmetic flaws

There are various methods for removing acne and blackheads that can be performed not only in the salon, but also at home.

Some are recognized by all, while others are not unanimous even among cosmetologists. The latest techniques include mechanical cleaning of the face.

Steamed skin is affected by various tools, such as an uno spoon, a vidal loop or fingers, a beautician can also use needles to pick out various defects.

Using hands, the skin should be pressed in no case with nails, but with fingertips.

Some cosmetologists use this method, others believe that it breaks the skin tone, and the pores lose their ability to narrow, remaining enlarged.

Some salon clients regularly resort to this method, others do not see impressive results on their faces, and still others take a long time to recover from redness and irritation. Everyone decides for himself.

Anti-blackhead patches are quite effective if you buy them from a trusted manufacturer, with a good shelf life and apply on prepared skin.

Against acne and blackheads, there are a huge number of masks that will also improve complexion, increase blood circulation in the epidermis, and change its general condition for the better.

This article offers the main ingredients of masks for acne and blackheads. They can be combined and combined with each other and with other components - depending on the type of skin and additional purposes.

Perfect Ingredients for Perfect Skin

Salt and soda perfectly cleanse the skin of any impurities, exfoliate excess dead cells, help with acne and even acne. However, these ingredients have contraindications.

Salt and baking soda can be used alone, in tandem, or combined with other ingredients.

Gelatin is a popular ingredient for film masks. Its beauty is in its versatility: the mask is suitable for any type of skin, depending on what you combine gelatin with - with fruit juice for oily skin, with milk or cream for dry or herbal decoction for any type of epidermis.

A decoction of anti-inflammatory herbs or activated charcoal crushed into fine dust make the gelatin mask effective against acne.

Activated charcoal is another great remedy for both blackheads and acne. Charcoal deeply cleanses the pores and makes the skin matte for a while, reducing the activity of the sebaceous glands.

Cream from black dots is a remedy that is necessary not only for owners of oily and problem skin, but also for people with a dry and sensitive type of epidermis. Black dots (comedones) found on the face quite often.

Which anti-comedone cream is effective and most effective - we will tell in this article. In addition, you can find out the most useful composition of the tool that allows you to deal with problems, and.

What are black dots?

On our face there are many cells and pores that "breathe" and connect the surface of the skin with the internal glands. The ducts of the sebaceous glands are the names of these dots that can be seen if you come close to the mirror. Through these "tubules" the sebaceous glands supply sebum to the surface, forming a layer of lipids necessary to protect and nourish the skin.

Girls with oily skin types are most prone to this problem, due to the fact that the sebaceous glands work in an enhanced mode, and the pores are too enlarged (we recommend reading about). But even if you have dry skin, this does not mean that you cannot develop blackheads.

The appearance of these points is the result of clogging of pores with dirt, dust, and cosmetics. Therefore, this condition is in most cases the result of insufficient cleaning of the skin, or improper care of it. Outwardly, comedones are easily masked with tonal means, but white nodules form inside the clogged duct of the sebaceous gland - inflammation.

To eliminate this deficiency and give the skin of the face a beautiful and flawless look, it is necessary to apply the right cream from black dots for the face.

Choose an anti-comedone product that contains the active ingredients listed below. They will help not only open and reduce pores, but also cleanse the entire face of various kinds of pollution.

What is the secret of the composition?

The effectiveness of the cream against black spots on the nose and face is ensured using the following components:

Zinc- helps to exfoliate the skin on the face, softens and eliminates keratinized epithelium;
Salicylic acid is one of the beta-hydroxy acids, which not only cleanse the skin and pores on the face, but also contribute to the disinfection and restoration of the skin;
fruit acids- soften the skin and promote its exfoliation;
Lactic acid cleanses and brightens;
Benzoyl peroxide - effectiveness depends on its concentration in the agent. Benzoyl cleanses the surface of the skin, removes blackheads and cleanses the ducts of the sebaceous glands;
Yeast complexes are also very effective in combating clogged pores.

In addition, natural plant extracts and oils, as well as essential oils, which cleanse the skin, nourish and moisturize it, are very useful in the composition of the comedone cream.

Can be used:

tea tree extracts;
Essential oil of lavender;
Green tea extract;
Olive or citrus oils;
Thermal or mineral water.

These components effectively act both to cleanse the layer of dead cells, and as a gentle facial skin care.

In order to solve the problem and prevent the occurrence of new comedones, it is necessary not only to choose a cream against blackheads, but also to provide the necessary care for your skin type. This will allow her to improve her condition and avoid many problems that arise due to improper care.

Choosing a remedy for a teenager

Very often, the problem of clogged and polluted pores occurs in adolescents. There are several reasons why boys and girls have black dots on their faces.

Teenagers are at the stage when their body rebuilds absolutely all of its functions, including the hormonal background. The sebaceous glands work in an enhanced mode, because of this, the skin of the face becomes oily, and the pores expand. Enlarged pores are the most exposed to pollution and clogging, and oily sheen on the skin "attracts" dust and dirt in the air.

Another reason is inadequate skin care. Teenagers do not always choose the right cosmetics for themselves - very often care is aimed only at masking flaws, and not at treating the problem (more on that). The use of inappropriate drugs will only aggravate the condition of the skin and cause irritation and inflammation.

A cream for removing black spots on the face of adolescents should have not only an effective, but also a safe effect. On young skin with problems of clogged ducts of the sebaceous glands, they are most effective.

Every teenager should at least once visit a beautician who will determine the type of skin and tell you how to properly care for it in order to avoid the appearance of comedones, blackheads and acne.

Greetings to everyone who visited my review!

I have had very bad skin since high school. And since adolescence, I have been accompanied by these hateful black dots! They have always been, and what I just did not do to deal with them - all sorts of masks, tonics, creams, cleansing at the beautician and peeling. Cleaning at the beautician's is a very painful and expensive thing, but for me it is absolutely ineffective. Black dots on the nose after cleaning did not want to give up, or if they did, then not all of them returned soon (already a week later). As a result, I scored on them, well, they are there, I will cover them with a foundation. But everything changed when I bought this product. I don’t know how to call it correctly - the manufacturer writes on the website that it is a “remedy”, in online stores they call it “emulsion”, “toner” or “serum”. Therefore, I will simply call it "remedy" (as on the official website).

Having tried it once, I realized - this is mine, completely and completely! I came up with a weekly skin cleansing with my favorite products and am very satisfied. Now I don’t spend money on a beautician and on unnecessary extra non-working products.

So, a little about the tool itself.)

APPEARANCE AND PACKAGING

Since this product is Korean-made, the packaging, like most Korean cosmetics, is bright and unusual. Bright pink saturated color plastic bottle with a black dispenser and a translucent black cap. Volume 60 ml. The liquid inside the bottle is liquid, it foams a little when applied to a cotton pad. I can't describe the fragrance exactly, chemically floral or something, light, unobtrusive. The liquid leaves sticky marks on the hands, although it is quickly absorbed into the skin. The skin of the hands, by the way, when the product gets on it, immediately becomes dry.

MODE OF APPLICATION

The manufacturer recommends this method of application:

Cleanse the skin and open the pores with a hot damp towel. Take a cotton pad, divide it into 2 halves. Apply Blackhead Clear on them and apply them on the nose or other areas with blackheads.
For normal and dry skin, use the product once a week and leave to act for 15-20 minutes.
For sensitive skin, use the product once every 5-10 days (depending on the degree of oiliness of the skin) and leave to act for 10 minutes.
For oily, combination and problematic skin, use the product 2 times a week and leave to act for 15-20 minutes.

Remove the cotton pad and gently remove melted dirt and sebum with a cotton swab.

I don't like this way. First, you need to keep a wet and hot towel on your face for 20 minutes. How can it keep a high temperature for so long, I don't understand? Secondly, lying for 20 minutes with a towel on your face is not always possible. Thirdly, without the use of additional tools and a tool (I’ll tell you which one later), the tool does not fully cope with black dots. Therefore, I propose such a scheme for applying funds.

1. Steam your face with LIOELE BLACKHEAD PORE OPENING MASSAGE GEL is a warming massage gel for opening pores. Personally, for me, hot steam does not open pores like this gel.

You need to apply it like this: apply a small amount of the product to the skin cleansed with your favorite product, massage the skin of the face for 2-3 minutes. Do not rinse for next step.

By the way, I propose to evaluate the condition of the skin before cleaning. As you can see, the skin is porous, overdried, the pores are wide, black dots are pronounced on the nose and chin.

2. Apply a small amount of funds LIOELE BLACKHEAD CLEAR on cotton pads or cloth napkins. We apply these discs to the areas that we want to clean, usually the forehead, nose, chin. We keep 20 minutes. Be sure to moisten with the product as it dries. We only moisten the cotton pad not when it is on the face, otherwise it is possible to puff right into the eye (!).

3. We remove the cotton pads and ... I personally see that the black dots are still in place. But the cleanup isn't over yet. The product softened the sebum well and some pores were cleared. Other pores remained in place, now we need to remove sebum from the pores. We take the Vidal loop and clean the face. Softened dirt easily comes out of the pores. Only clean pores remain).

4. Now we need to remove the remedy itself from the face. Wash off using your favorite skin cleanser. I use Spivak's 6 Herb Beldi. I apply and hold for a minute, then rinse with cool water to narrow the pores.I think the result is clear. And you?)

SUMMING UP

- really dissolves blackheads, which can be easily removed from the pores with Vidal's loop. (by the way, this loop is now sold in many stores, for example, I saw it in Ruble Boom, I couldn’t get it before, so I ordered it on Ebay);

- after use, there is redness and the skin may be sensitive, since it is still quite an aggressive remedy;

- the effect is enough for a week and a half. Then the pores become clogged again, which is quite normal, because the skin is an excretory organ;

- a bottle is enough for me for 3 months of use once a week;

- sometimes on the second day the skin can be shelled.

Let's take another look at the result.) For me personally, none of the tested products gave such an effect.

PRICE and PLACE OF PURCHASE

You can buy cheap on ebay. It is there for 790 rubles. I don’t recommend buying Korean cosmetics in the IM, because it costs more there and plus the delivery is 250 rubles.

And now departments with Korean cosmetics are very popular, in our city a lot of them have opened. You can ask there too.

It turns out very beneficial compared to regular cleaning by a beautician and the effect for me is much better.

I advise! All healthy and beautiful skin!!!

Women strive to look beautiful at any age. Irregularities on the skin appear during puberty, and after two or three years they disappear. There are such lucky women who no longer meet with problems on the face and body, but most women, and men, need to take care of their face, use a remedy for acne and blackheads. A beautician can help make the skin clean with masks, creams, cleansing, and make it velvety.

What are black dots

Small blotches of black color 1 mm in size are called comedones. They occur on the nose, forehead, chin, less often on the cheeks, shoulders, back. Dust, dirt, cream particles get into the enlarged pores - and clogging of the holes occurs. The skin stops breathing, more serious inflammation can occur at the site of blackouts - acne. In order for acne not to appear, it is necessary to remove points in time, and cleaning can be done at home. A mask-film is well suited for narrowing the pores, which hardens after application and, when removed, draws out the excess.

Why do they appear

Comedones occur in people with oily skin, hypersensitivity to external stimuli. It happens not only in women, but also in men. They first appear in adolescents aged 12 years and above. During puberty, the work of the sebaceous glands increases, the body is restructured, hence the appearance of acne and inflammation. People with normal skin types are also prone to dark spots, but not to the same extent as women and men with problematic epidermis. There are several reasons for the appearance of comedones:

oily, sensitive dermis;
malnutrition, excessive consumption of smoked, salty, spicy, sweet;
bad habits - alcohol, smoking, caffeine addiction;
stress, nervous breakdowns;
improper skin care or its absence;
the cosmetic product is selected without taking into account the characteristics of the dermis;
drug treatment - some drugs contribute to the release of harmful substances from the body that remain in the form of fat or fat, and clog pores;
a failure in the hormonal and endocrine system, which the doctor can learn about by the tests;
bowel problems: frequent constipation;
heredity, which modern cosmetic and medical preparations will help to cope with.

First you need to contact a beautician. He will examine the skin and make his verdict. In many cases, proper care, facial cleansing, peeling is enough. Cleansing is recommended to be done in late autumn or early spring, when the sun is not yet too active. A competent cosmetologist will not prescribe such a procedure in the summer, because the epidermis becomes sensitive to sunlight and requires constant protection. During this period, you can limit yourself to cleansing mild formulations.

Blackhead remedy

An effective remedy for blackheads on the face is exfoliation. It removes dead skin particles, removes the top layer, clears the way to the exit of subcutaneous fat. After the procedure, a cleansing mask should be applied. Well help such cosmetic products that harden and are removed in one layer. You need to start removing the film from the bottom of the chin upwards towards the forehead. Together with the frozen layer, the dirt remaining in the enlarged pores comes out.

After the procedure, empty holes remain on the skin, which must be helped to remain clean. The usual day or night cream will not be enough, here it is better to use a special gel to narrow the pores. It works on the principle of clogging holes, as if it were closing them with a cork, through which it does not allow external microbes to break through. The skin is covered with an imperceptible film and remains clean.

Remedy at home

It is not necessary to buy expensive creams and masks in the store; remedies for black dots on the face can be prepared at home. This is especially good to do in the summer, when seasonal vegetables and berries are available. Fresh cucumber rings impregnate the dermis with the missing water, moisturize it, thereby making the epidermal cells work twice as well, remove toxins. The release of excess fat from the pores does not linger. The strawberry mask saturates with natural pigment, gives a healthy blush and radiance.

homemade masks

Easy and quick to prepare a face mask at home. You can preview the recipe and buy the missing ingredients or use what is available in the kitchen. Preparing the composition is not time-consuming, there is no need to wait three days, but rather the opposite, home care is done based on one-time use. Four effective recipes:

Oatmeal - 1 tbsp. spoons, boric alcohol - 3 drops, soda - 0.5 teaspoons. Mix all the ingredients and add a little kefir or milk so that the consistency resembles sour cream. The composition is applied to problem areas - nose, forehead, chin - left for 15 minutes. After this time, the residue must be washed off with warm water. If a feeling of tightness remains, cover the face with a moisturizer to ensure gentle recovery.
Egg - 2 pieces. To prepare this mask, you only need protein. It should be whipped into a white foam and applied to problem areas with a wooden spatula or spoon. The protein must be given ten minutes, it should soften the epidermis well, dry a little, and then you need to apply a second layer. After half an hour, remove the residue with a cotton pad moistened with water. The protein has antimicrobial properties, therefore it is used in cosmetology. When applying the mask twice a week, the face will be cleansed.
Honey - 2 tbsp. spoons. The product that sticks best to the hands will do. Before the procedure, it is recommended to thoroughly wash your hands with antibacterial soap. Dip the fingertips in honey, and then apply it on the forehead, nose, cheeks with soft driving movements. The layer should be visible, but not spreading. Honey nourishes, moisturizes, cleanses from unnecessary rashes and acne. Wash off with cool water after 15 minutes.
Clay - 1 package. This safe product is available at any pharmacy and works well for making homemade masks. The contents of the package are poured into a dry, clean container and diluted with water. Clay is applied as a mask on the entire surface, except for the eyes, eyebrows, mouth. After 15 minutes, when the mass has hardened, it is recommended to get rid of it with one movement of the hand from the bottom up, from the chin to the hair on the head. Wash off the rest of the mask with warm water. After the procedure, apply a nourishing cream, as the clay dries.

Scrubs

A great home care is a scrub. It helps to exfoliate the keratinized particles of the epidermis, removes its upper layer, cleanses the surface of the face, thereby opening up access to acne, nodular deposits. With regular scrubbing, unwanted rashes completely disappear. You can use the following scrub recipes:

For cooking, you will need baking soda, finely ground salt. Mix the two ingredients in one tablespoon, moisten a cotton pad with water and dip into the resulting powder. It is necessary to treat problem areas on the face carefully, to prevent the penetration of soda into open acne in order to avoid unnecessary inflammation.
Semolina - 1 tbsp. spoon, liquid honey - 1 teaspoon. Mix the components until a homogeneous consistency. Apply with fingers to problem areas and rub thoroughly. Wash off with water afterwards. The face will turn a little red, but after 10-15 minutes it will pass. You can soothe the epidermis by rubbing it with ice cubes. The scrub is recommended to be used in the morning and evening.
Natural ground coffee - 1 tbsp. spoon, kefir - 1 tbsp. spoon, honey - 1 teaspoon. Mix the elements together, you should get a thick mixture that looks like ashes. Take a small amount of scrub in your hands and massage your nose, paying special attention to its wings and bridge of the nose. There are often rashes of small dots near the lips. These places can be scrubbed, you should avoid getting the mixture on the mouth itself, it has a too delicate surface, which can be damaged by coffee beans.
Thick natural yogurt - 0.5 tbsp. spoons, grated lemon zest - 0.5 tbsp. spoons, honey - 1 teaspoon, salt - 0.5 teaspoon. Mix the entire composition into a homogeneous mass, which should turn out thick. Apply and carefully treat the entire surface with the resulting scrub. Lemon zest dries out acne, normalizes the sebaceous glands, and prevents the appearance of new contaminants. Yogurt has a moisturizing effect, so after this procedure, the face does not need additional nourishment and application of cream.

Steaming

Before all cosmetic procedures, it is recommended to do steaming. The skin becomes softer and more supple, and the dirt itself jumps out of the pores, that is, it is noticeably easier to remove from the surface. After the procedure, any scrub or mask will work much more effectively. Pour boiling water into a deep saucepan and hold your head over the steam, covering it with a towel.

A more effective substance for steaming are herbal infusions. Dry collection is sold in a pharmacy. For the steaming procedure, herbs of chamomile, sage, eucalyptus, calendula, oak bark, St. John's wort are suitable. Pour one teaspoon with a liter of boiling water, leave to infuse for half an hour. It takes about 15 minutes to breathe over such a solution. Drops of moisture that remain on the face are recommended to be blotted with a paper towel, in no case rub.

The advantage of steaming is that the pores open as much as possible, and the comedones ask to be removed. After that, you can apply a mask or cream. The disadvantage of the method is that it is difficult for some people to sit for 15 minutes in a water bath under a towel. If a person has a runny nose, then there is difficulty breathing, which does not allow the face to steam out for a quarter of an hour.

Pharmacy funds

In cases where masks, scrubs do not help get rid of irregularities on the face, you can use pharmacy products. They have a wide spectrum of action, therapeutic effect. A popular acne product that you can buy at the pharmacy is an ointment. It can be different in composition and name: ichthyol, zinc, tetracycline, metronidazole, retinoic. All types are united by a common property - ointments help get rid of excess comedones. For this, other forms of drugs sold in pharmacies have been created:

Salicylic acid. It has a drying effect. With daily rubbing with a cotton swab moistened with this alcohol, irritation, acne and comedones are removed. With more frequent use, there is a burning sensation, itching, the ability to dry the skin. If this happens, lubricate the damaged areas with any cream and stop using the acid for a while.
Creams against blackheads and acne, such as: Zinerit, Differin. They reduce the production of sebaceous glands, dry, contribute to the removal and disappearance of contaminants, contain glycerin. Dosage - applied pointwise to each pimple individually. On the area of the nose, forehead, chin, you can spread a small amount of cream with a thin even layer, you do not need to rinse it off, it is more suitable for oily skin.
Zinc ointment. It is an antiseptic, stops the growth of bacteria. Zinc dries the dermis, and Vaseline, which is part of it, softens it. The ointment is suitable for sensitive skin, has no contraindications, except for individual intolerance, it can even be used for babies. Apply to problem areas once a day.

Cosmetical tools

After scrubs and peels, cleansed skin needs to be moisturized, so the first cosmetic product that you should use is a moisturizer. If your pores tend to clog, then you can choose a light gel or an oil-free treatment, such as Garnier. Another assistant in cosmetology is a cleansing foam. Makeup should be removed with special gels, then the face will not dry. Yves Rocher has excellent options. Exfoliating beauty products, such as Vichy, help get rid of inflammation.

Cream

To get rid of comedones, it is recommended to use a set of procedures, starting with cleansing, scrubbing, masks, and ending with moisturizing. A well-exfoliated surface of the epidermis becomes a little dry, the sebaceous glands begin to work with a vengeance, which allows impurities and acne to appear. An oil-free moisturizer can help to avoid unpleasant consequences. Popular firms:
