What are Blackheads?
These
are a form of acne which develops on the face, neck and
upper back of people. They do not constitute any danger
to the health of the affected person but can be
irritating and painful. But most of all, they deal a
huge blow to a person's self-esteem because of the
disfigurement they cause to the face. Blackheads are
caused when the toxins in the lymph and the blood mix
with the oil produced with sebum and form pasty glue.
This glue gets deposited on the skin pores and blocks
them - thus leading to blackheads, whiteheads and acne . Acne generally develops on teenagers and young adults although it is not uncommon even for people in their forties and fifties to get affected by it. There are basically two types of acne - the non-inflammatory variety and the inflammatory one. The non-inflammatory types form what are called blackheads and whiteheads. They are generally small and whiteheads may even be invisible. The inflammatory variety consists of nodules, papules and pustules. These are more prominent than blackheads and consequently cause more disfigurement. For the purpose of this article, we will deal only with blackheads and
homemade blackhead removers
.
Blackheads, as the name suggests, has a brown/black color and therefore are noticeable when they appear on someone's face. Image conscious people will obviously want these removed as soon as possible and, while they can choose to use prescription medication, more and more sufferers from acne are turning to homemade blackhead removers. One of the reasons for this is the large number of adverse side-effects that prescription medications give rise to. Let us therefore tell you about some of these homemade varieties of blackhead removers.
Homemade Blackhead Removal
First, there is the steaming process. In this, you steam your face with a towel over your head so that the steam doesn't escape. The hot steam hitting your face will force the pores to open and blackheads can then be fairly easily removed. Another homemade method is to cut a potato in two, and rub its flat edges on the blackheads. The potato breaks down the oil in the pores and, because of its texture, it exfoliates the skin, slowly squeezing out blackheads in the process.
Or you may also want to try out the bentonite/vinegar natural mask which has been a popular home remedy for centuries. Made by combining Apple Cider Vinegar and Aztec Secrets Indian Healing Clay, the mask works to suck out the harmful toxins from within the body that get deposited over time.
There is also the three-fold approach that can be used for blackhead removal. In this, 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.
These then are some of the homemade blackhead removers. It is worthwhile trying these methods out as they don't involve your ingesting medication which could ultimately harm your overall balance. You should, in this context, try the holistic approach. This does not merely tackle the symptoms but goes into the very roots of the problem and fixes it. This approach is much more effective because the causes of acne are many such as an overproducing sebum gland, stress and high toxin levels in the body. The holistic approach treats the body as a whole, identifies all the causes and then treats them, thus ensuring that the problem of blackheads is removed from your system forever.
