Blackheads are a type of sebaceous cyst, which is also known as a comedo. The sebum from the pores get clogged together and form a small bump on the skin. Blackheads often appear on the nose area and they are open at one end.
Blackheads can be popped or squeezed but this should not be done too often because it may lead to acne breakouts. Instead, blackheads should be extracted using a comedone extractor (usually called blackhead remover) or using fingers. R-Oxygen Skin Clinic is a well known center having expert dermatologists treat such skin issues with Ayurveda effectively. If you’re looking for Ayurveda Dermatology, you’re at the right place.
What are the reasons for Blackheads?
The blackhead looks black because it is oxidized – when air gets to it, it turns dark. Blackheads are common on areas of skin that are rich in sebum, such as the nose and forehead. They can also be found on other regions of skin if there is an accumulation of excess sebum in them.
Blackheads are not a medical condition. They are a pimple that is clogged with sebum, dirt and oil in the pores. This blackhead is caused when sebum and bacteria in the pores produce an enzyme called lipase. Excessive sebum can also lead to sebaceous acne.
The lipase starts to break down the fats from the sebum into free fatty acids and glycerol which produces a chemical reaction that turns them into soap-like compounds. These compounds turn dark when they oxidize from exposure to air, which forms the blackhead seen on our skin.
Some of these factors can make an individual more prone to blackheads:
- Certain medications – some antibiotics, diuretics, antihistamines, steroids
- Age – skin starts losing its elasticity with age
- Skin type – oily skin is more prone to blackheads
How to prevent Blackheads?
Nose pores are small, so they do not require aggressive cleaning. Some people believe that anything that causes irritation on the surface of the skin can cause acne. This is not true for everyone, but may be true for some people who have sensitive skin or have acne-prone skin. Cleansing pores can lead to whiteheads and irritation, which could cause more breakouts in the future.
There are some ways to prevent blackheads on your nose, including:
- Using a gentle cleanser and following it up with a moisturizer
- Avoid unnecessary touching your nose (to avoid spreading oils and bacteria)
- Using a toner to remove any remaining dirt or oil
How to easily remove Blackheads with Blackheads Ayurvedic Treatment?
It’s important to know how to remove blackheads from your skin in order to get rid of them and prevent them from coming back. There are many ways to remove blackheads, some more popular than others. Some methods include: peeling the blackhead off, using an acid or other chemical compounds, picking at the blackhead until it pops out on its own, using a pore strip or scrubbing the area with an exfoliating cleanser.
The most popular way to remove blackheads is by popping them out using your fingers or nails with some additional pressure applied. This “squeeze” method is effective at getting rid of wrinkles, blemishes, and other signs of aging. Also, Blackheads Ayurvedic Treatment helps you get rid of the blackheads naturally.
Blackheads Ayurvedic Treatment
There are many ways to get rid of blackheads. One way is to use natural ayurvedic treatments for blackheads which include:
– Exfoliation:
Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells, dirt, oil, and other substances from the outer layer of the skin. Exfoliating is a great way to get rid of blackheads. It may not be enough for severe cases, but it’s worth trying before moving on to more complex treatments like extractions or laser therapy. There are many different ways that you can exfoliate your skin so it’s important that you find one that works best for your needs and preferences.
– Addition of Sea Salt:
In addition to the use of sea salt for blackheads, the person can use a small amount of tea tree oil or a few drops of lavender oil. The tea tree oil is anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. Lavender oil has calming properties that can help with redness and irritation.
– Blackhead Masks:
Blackhead masks are masks that you apply all over your face to remove dirt and sebum. It’s a black, thick paste that you apply on your skin and wait for it to dry completely.
– Activated Charcoal Masks:
Activated charcoal masks for blackheads are used to remove dirt and oil that clogs the pores of the skin. This derived from charred coconut shells is an effective natural remedy which is more affordable than some other mask treatments.
Masks with activated charcoal are used to clear up acne, remove dead skin cells and cleanse the pores of the skin by drawing out toxins and impurities. It can also be used to help reduce inflammation, tighten pores, and reduce redness around blackheads.
– Antibacterial ingredients like Raw Honey or Apple Cider Vinegar
Different remedies have been used for the removal of blackheads. But, if you want an effective and natural remedy, then you should try antibacterial ingredients like raw honey or apple cider vinegar.
Raw honey is a natural antibacterial agent that can be applied on your skin to fight acne. It contains antibacterial properties that can inhibit the growth of acne causing bacteria and help to reduce inflammation as well as redness from pimples. In addition, it contains antioxidants that can prevent skin from sun damage and aging as well as improve the skin’s overall texture.
Apple cider vinegar also has antibacterial properties and can fight acne causing bacteria because it has acetic acid in it, which helps cleanse pores and remove dead skin cells. It also has a high concentration of antioxidants which help prevent wrinkles.
