Best Way to Remove
Blackheads EXPOSED

There are basically two types of acne- the non-inflammatory variety and the inflammatory one. The non-inflammatory types are called comedones and they form what are called blackheads and whiteheads. They are generally small, and whiteheads may even be invisible to the naked eye. The inflammatory variety causes more disfigurement as the nodules, pustules or papules which form are much more prominent and are usually accompanied by a reddening of the skin surrounding the affected area. In this article, we will deal with the non-inflammatory types of acne and also try to find out the best way to remove blackheads .

What causes blackheads? When the skin oil produced by sebum and the toxins in the blood and lymph come together, it leads to the formation of pasty glue. This glue blocks the pores in the skin, and this is what leads to the formation of blackheads, whiteheads and acne.

How Do You Get Rid of Blackheads?

Although blackheads tend to be small as compared to nodules and pustules, they are noticeable on a person's face as they bear a blackish color and mar the personal appearance of the sufferer. The best way to remove blackheads is a three-fold approach. The first step is exfoliation. This involves removing the outer layer of dead and dirty skin. It will expose the bacteria that cause acne and allow the acne medicines to work on them. The next step is toning which cleans the exposed healthy skin and pores that are prone to acne. And finally restore/repair and prevent. This is the final step which kills the bacteria and prevents it from coming back.

Natural Treatments for Acne and Blackheads

Apart from the above, there are also a couple of other suggested methods we would like to tell you about which have proved effective. One is steaming your face with a towel over your head. The hot steam hitting your face will unlock the pores. Blackheads can then easily be removed. The other method is to cut a potato in half and press its flat edges on the blackheads. The potato breaks down the oil in the pores and, because of its texture, it exfoliates the skin. These two are simple remedies which require little effort or finances and are worth a try when you are searching for the best way to remove blackheads.

There are some home remedies that might also help, such as the bentonite/vinegar mask. Working much like a sponge, the mask sucks away the toxins from the body. This is an age old remedy that has been practiced with some success. Making of the mask is easy too - all you need is just Aztec Secrets Indian Healing Clay and apple cider vinegar.

However, together with all these suggestions, we must also advise you that the best way to remove blackheads and indeed, all other forms of acne, is the holistic approach. This doesn't treat the symptoms of blackheads as the other treatments do. Instead, it goes to the very root of the problem and fixes it. That way, there are no recurrences as there are bound to be in all the other methods. This is really the best approach because the fact is, acne can be caused from many reasons (such as hormonal imbalance in the body, excess toxins and even stress) and if you do not what is actually causing them, how can the treatment be effective? So the simple solution to your quest of finding the best way to remove blackheads is this. Try the holistic approach.
