Causes of blackheads

Acne is a problem that people with oily and combination skin types are most familiar with. They are characterized by active sebum secretion, wide pores and hyperkeratosis - pathological thickening of the stratum corneum of the epidermis. With normal and dry skin, acne forms less frequently.

Blackheads can appear not only on the nose and chin, but also on the forehead, chest and back. They arise for several reasons.

Hormones

The male hormone testosterone is responsible for the production of sebum in the body, so men's skin is usually oilier than women's: the higher the testosterone level, the more secretion the sebaceous glands secrete.

The cause of teenage skin problems is unstable hormonal levels. The same reason leads to the appearance of acne in women of mature age - a hormonal surge occurs during pregnancy and at the onset of menopause.

Nutrition

According to some reports, eating large amounts of fast carbohydrates can affect the size and functioning of the sebaceous glands, and therefore speed up the production of sebum. There is not enough direct evidence yet, but many people report improvement in their skin when following a low-carbohydrate diet and avoiding sugar.

Insufficient cleansing or exfoliation

Contrary to beliefs, foundation cannot spoil the skin, but illiterate cleansing can. A thick layer of foundation cannot be washed off with one gesture, so it makes sense to distinguish between makeup removal and direct skin cleansing.

Exfoliants, both mechanical (scrubs) and chemical (peelings) remove the stratum corneum of the epidermis, facilitating the release of sebum, and help reduce sebaceous plugs. Some scrubs have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

Mechanical cleaning- an effective way to quickly get rid of acne and comedones. It is better to perform this procedure by a specialist. The downside is that the recovery period after cleaning can take up to a week.

The best cosmetics against blackheads

If blackheads cause inconvenience, look for the cosmetic products listed below on store shelves - the best, according to the editors of the site.

Moisturizing

To protect itself, skin that is squeaky clean but not moisturized begins to secrete even more sebum. So don't neglect hydration. If your pores are prone to clogged areas, choose lightweight gel moisturizers or oil-free creams.

Moisturizing gel-cream for face without oils, Kiehl’s

A complex of vitamin E, antarcticine and desert plant extracts protects epidermal cells from free radicals. Glycerin, due to its inherent hygroscopicity, attracts water and retains it in skin cells, helping to maintain an optimal level of hydration.

Green tea extract in the formula is known for its antioxidant effect. The product controls shine, deeply moisturizes and softens the skin.

Cleansing

Skin care begins with proper cleansing. Remove makeup, especially heavy makeup, using a special product, and then wash with water, using a non-aggressive cleanser. To deeply cleanse your skin, use face masks.

Cleansing micellar oil, Decléor

Thanks to a special formula with micelles and oils, this product is able to dissolve even the most persistent cosmetics without harming the skin. Does not contain parabens, suitable for removing eye makeup.

Micellar face gel, Garnier

The 2-in-1 formula captures oil, dirt and makeup products, leaving skin clean and fresh. To soften and moisturize, grape extract has been added to the composition, which has also proven itself as an effective antioxidant.

Exfoliating

Exfoliation is a necessary stage of care, especially for hyperkeratosis. Many people skip this procedure, and in vain: keratinized skin scales contribute to clogging of pores and the proliferation of propionic acne bacteria in the mouths of hair follicles, the primary source of inflammatory processes.

Softening exfoliating cream Exfoliance Confort, Lancôme

A delicate product with a creamy texture removes dead particles of the epidermis without causing discomfort to the skin. Suitable for thin and sensitive skin.

Prevention measures

How to prolong the results after cosmetic cleansing and ensure the prevention of imperfections?

The basis for preventing blackheads is thorough cleansing © iStock

1. 1

   Don't forget about makeup remover: No matter how tired you are, washing your face before going to bed is a must. Contrary to myths, soap is a bad helper in this matter. We suggest switching to a two-step system, popular in Asia: first we cleanse the skin of cosmetic products with hydrophilic oil or micellar water, then we wash with water using a cleansing gel or foam.

2. 2

   Hydration- the key to beautiful skin. Without regular hydration, the skin not only ages faster, but also produces more oil, which we work hard to wash off, thereby causing even more damage to the epidermis.

3. 3

   If possible, Don't clean your pores yourself. By doing this, you risk getting negative consequences in the form of rosacea. But if you really want to, use special cleansing strips that are sold at any pharmacy.

Salon treatments

The most effective procedure against comedones in the nose area is facial cleansing by a cosmetologist. It can be performed manually or using ultrasonic and vacuum technologies. The last method is the most effective, but at the same time the most traumatic for the skin.

After manual cleaning, severe redness of the skin is observed, which can last up to 7 days. A mask with a calming effect, which is provided by panthenol, allantoin, aloe vera and chamomile extracts, will help shorten the rehabilitation period.

Causes of blackheads on the nose

Black dots on the nose are an unpleasant phenomenon, but familiar to many girls. They appear due to increased activity of the sebaceous glands - most often in adolescence, when the hormonal levels in the body change. However, sometimes the reasons may be different.

Genetic predisposition

It is believed that skin type and sensitivity of the sebaceous glands to male hormones are inherited. If one of your parents suffered from acne and blackheads in adolescence, then you are not immune from them.

Nutrition

Dermatologists are divided into two camps: some believe that food does not affect the condition of the skin and the activity of the sebaceous glands, others believe the opposite.

Be that as it may, most people notice rashes on their faces if they overused fatty, floury and sweet foods the day before.

Diseases of internal organs

The activity of the sebaceous glands is regulated by hormones, which is why blackheads and pimples often serve as a signal of problems with the endocrine system.

Stress

It negatively affects all systems of the body, and with increased oily skin it provokes inflammatory processes, increased sebum secretion and clogged pores.

Illiterate skin care

Incorrectly selected cosmetics can aggravate the situation. Therefore, you should exclude from care:

fatty creams with a dense texture;

cosmetics based on mineral oils.

The best remedies for blackheads

Quite a lot of products have been developed to get rid of blackheads on the nose. The main rule when choosing is to focus on your skin type.

Stripes from blackheads

They are applied to previously cleansed skin and left for 10–15 minutes. During this time, the adhesive surface has time to “pull” dirt out of the pores. Strips can be used 2-3 times a week.

Cleansing masks

Formulas based on different types of clay help to deeply cleanse pores and normalize sebum secretion. It is recommended to use no more than 1-2 times a week.

Tonics and lotions

These products with acids (benzoic, salicylic, glycolic) are suitable for daily care and help exfoliate dead skin cells of the epidermis.

A rather rough and traumatic type of cleansing, but very effective with regular use (1-2 times a week). This exfoliation is not suitable for people with sensitive and irritation-prone skin.

Here are a few examples of suitable means.

Cleansing gels

Lotions and scrubs

Masks

Rating of salon procedures

The fight against blackheads on the nose is not limited to home care. It is recommended to visit a cosmetologist once a month.

Mechanical cleaning

Using special professional products, the skin is first prepared so that cleaning is as traumatic as possible, and then the cosmetologist manually cleanses the pores using squeezing movements.

Acid peeling

Helps fight hyperkeratosis, effectively cleanses pores of impurities, and also prevents the proliferation of bacteria in the mouths of the sebaceous glands, which leads to inflammatory rashes.

Ultrasonic cleaning

The principle of this type of cleansing is based on the ability of high-frequency sound vibrations to activate blood and lymph flow, as well as cellular metabolism and cleanse the surface layer of the skin. During the process of ultrasonic cleaning, sebaceous plugs and dead cells are removed from the skin.

Disincrustation

This procedure is considered effective and safe. During the session, the skin cells are exposed to a direct electric current, which acts as a conductor, helping a special solution penetrate the skin, which cleanses the pores.

Cryomassage

Massage with liquid nitrogen dries out pimples and perfectly fights stagnant spots left behind.

Preventive measures

It is quite possible to avoid the appearance of blackheads. This is what is needed for this.

Regularly cleanse skin.

Do not use cosmetics with mineral oils.

Revise diet. Make sure that it is based on fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains, seafood, and red meat.

Observe drinking regime and drink about two liters of pure still water daily.

Give up bad habits: smoking and alcohol significantly worsen the condition of the skin and complexion.

Blackheads are one of those skin defects that seem not so significant when compared with other problems, but still cause moral discomfort and indicate that something is wrong in the body.

Compared with other problems, getting rid of skin rashes in all their manifestations on the cheeks, forehead and nose is relatively simple. There are both medicinal and folk remedies for this defect.

What it is?

First, let's figure out what comedones are. This is a variation of facial acne. Small black (less often yellow) dots that materialize on the surface of the epidermis. Most often they appear in areas where the number of sebaceous glands is maximum.

These rashes differ from ordinary acne in that they do not contain pus. But such points can lead to the development of infection if bacteria for some reason get into the clogged pores. Therefore, it is forbidden to squeeze them out. You need to use an ointment/cream for acne, which will be discussed later.

Causes

The key reason that such acne begins to appear is that the glands begin to more actively produce sebum. If it is produced in excess, then the pores begin to clog, and dead pieces of skin get there. As a result, the outer part of the comedone turns black due to oxidation in the air.

Increased secretion begins on the face for a number of reasons. It can be caused by:

• Incorrectly selected medications, primarily different types of hormonal drugs
• Possible causes include hormonal changes (for example, puberty)
• Stress
• Dermatological diseases
• Menses
• Malfunctions of the immune system
• Another common cause is improper skin care. As a result, lack of hygiene can cause comedones.

Pharmacy drugs

Acne remedies are easy to purchase at the pharmacy. These are proven drugs that allow you to quickly start therapy without wasting time on preparation yourself. You just need to go to the pharmacy and choose the ointment of your choice.

But you need to understand which anti-comedone cream will be effective, and which one will only waste your money. Let's look at popular examples that are used most often.

Differin

It is difficult to find a more popular ointment for skin rashes. Optimal price and high efficiency make it an excellent choice. This is a synthetic version of retinoic acid, which has an anti-inflammatory effect and helps skin regeneration.

What is important: the ointment softens the contents of comedones, this allows dirt and fat to simply come out.

Differin is used by simply applying it once a day to the area that is covered with rashes. Use is not recommended if the skin on the face is too delicate, but for oily skin the use is optimal.

Retinoic ointment

A natural, effective remedy based on the active version of vitamin A and acting through isotretinoin. This ointment actively affects the sebaceous glands on the face, reduces the level of sebum production, reduces inflammation, and helps tighten pores.

The advantage of the drug is its low price. The concentration must be selected depending on what type of skin your skin is. The duration of one course is up to three weeks.

In rare cases, individual intolerance is possible, but other than that there are no contraindications, although the instructions for use should still be studied.

Zinc ointment

Although this drug is not the most effective on the list, its price is definitely the lowest, and its spectrum of action is wide. There are no contraindications; the ointment is acceptable even for use in infancy.

It dries out the skin a little, but it contains petroleum jelly, which prevents the ointment from drying out the skin and promotes its overall regeneration. Zinc ointment is excellent for preventive purposes.

Clay

You can buy special anti-rash clay at the pharmacy. White and black clay helps a lot. They are effective for problems in the facial area.

The principle of action is to soften hard pimples and remove dirt from the pores. It has an anti-inflammatory effect, pores narrow, and complexion improves. Clay can be used as a nourishing agent for skin care of different types.

Ichthyol ointment

It can be used to treat almost any inflammatory and non-inflammatory problems with the upper layer of the skin, but it helps best against comedones.

You can mix the ointment with glycerin and apply it at night or twice during the day. In this case, you can get rid of the rashes quickly enough.

The downside is a number of contraindications specified in the instructions. These include:

• childhood
• lactation
• pregnancy
• oncology
• allergy

There are no other specific contraindications.

Folk recipes

Another option is to choose a home remedy. And there are several popular options:

• Ground oatmeal mixed with water, salt and a small amount of boric acid. The result is a mask that has the properties of a scrub, which increases its effectiveness.
• The egg white is beaten together with sugar. The mask can be applied to the entire face or only to problem areas
• Sage and calendula are mixed, poured with boiling water and cooled. Wipe your face with this lotion twice a day. An alternative component for lotion is aloe
• Honey is an excellent ingredient for a mask. For greater effectiveness, add sour cream, kefir or lemon juice. The combination of lactic and citric acid allows you to dissolve the fat that is the basis of acne, restoring the attractiveness of the skin.

There are different ways to approach the issue of getting rid of skin defects. Both traditional and pharmacy options are almost equally effective, and the price is always reasonable. So choose the options at your discretion. If they don't work, just change them to others. Over time, you will find the optimal solution.

To get rid of pimples, blackheads and acne, which bring us enormous discomfort, you need to choose the right care product. It must meet the needs of the skin and eliminate a specific problem. However, there are no universal remedies for fighting acne; everyone must find their own remedy - these can be ointments, creams, gels and masks. Let's look at the best.

Skin rashes - pimples, blackheads, acne, ulcers

To choose a good external remedy for cleansing skin from rashes, you need to consider a number of parameters. The main ones:

1. Why do acne appear? If their formation is caused by excessive expansion of pores, you need products that narrow them. When the reason is the presence of certain bacteria on the skin, antibacterial creams and ointments will help.
2. Skin type – it is important that the cosmetic product matches your skin type. Drying products are suitable for oily skin, but for dry skin they will be too aggressive. The use of skin care cosmetics that are not suitable for a specific skin type can aggravate aesthetic problems. Particular care should be taken in selecting products for sensitive skin types. They must certainly have a soft effect.
3. If you have allergies, it is better to give preference to hypoallergenic products.
4. Good creams do not contain petroleum products, as well as synthetic additives and artificial flavors. Their presence can further irritate the skin, causing new rashes to appear.

It is important to choose a product that is right for you

It is very important that anti-acne products do not clog pores, otherwise the skin will receive insufficient oxygen, and this worsens its condition, appearance, and contributes to the spread of rashes.

This effective remedy helps against acne because it acts comprehensively. It provides good cleansing, relieves inflammation, has an antibacterial and drying effect. The drugs also reduce sebum production and tighten pores, resulting in the removal of acne. The skin becomes healthy and well-groomed. The main thing is to choose a product that suits your skin type and switch to a balanced diet.

Using topical acne treatments provides only 50-60% of the results. Otherwise, the effectiveness of treatment is determined by the state of health and lifestyle.

First of all, it is necessary to determine the reason why blackheads “occupied” the face. Their appearance can be triggered by incorrectly selected or low-quality cosmetics, which clog pores on the skin for which it is not suitable for a number of parameters. When choosing cosmetics, you need to take a balanced approach to the fat content of day/night cream, the composition of foundations and even blush.

Also, most of the blame lies with the women themselves, who are too lazy to wash off their makeup, particles of which mix with dust during the day and turn into blackheads.

No less provoking factors in the appearance are stress and hormonal imbalance in the body, which occurs in and, as well as in older representatives of the fair sex who are on the verge of menopause. Affects the formation of spots and exacerbation of chronic diseases, which is often characterized by acne. By starting a cosmetic symptom, women lose sight of the problem with the body.

How to get rid of blackheads on your face

Sebum can only be removed from pores mechanically. In salons, special equipment is used for this, with the help of which cosmetologists literally “suck” out additional preparations from the skin. Women steam problem areas and squeeze dirt out of the pores with clean hands.

In some cases, special charcoal-based nasal cleansing strips, which are sold in the cosmetic departments of supermarkets, have a good effect.

However, professional ultrasonic facial cleansing in a beauty salon is considered the most effective remedy. It is more superficial and less traumatic compared to manual, vacuum or chemical peeling. Ultrasonic cleaning of blackheads can be combined with other similar procedures or used as a preventive measure. Its action is aimed at destroying dead skin cells, eliminating comedones and smoothing out fine wrinkles and rejuvenating the aging epidermis.

However, the best way to combat blackheads is facial hygiene. The skin should be thoroughly cleansed in the evenings, washing off makeup and wiping the face with a toner that tightens the pores. Periodically you need to exfoliate and carefully choose skincare and decorative cosmetics. You should not touch your face with dirty hands, and it is advisable to limit your diet, minimizing the consumption of spicy, fatty and sweet foods.
