Ways To Tackle Blackhead Removal
Before you start searching for blackhead removal solutions, it is important to understand that blackheads are not the same as zits. However, each has many similarities and each is also made out of sebum but they also differ in terms of their appearance and may need to be treated differently.
Zits are much brighter than blackheads. Blackheads are easy to conceal provided the right sort of makeup is used. Even so, most people are tempted to try squeezing the blackheads in order to remove them but this is not the right option. There are superior methods of getting rid of these blackheads and so it pays to know more about them.
The reason why a blackhead forms is because the glands in the skin start producing excessive amounts of oil that along with dead skin will block the glands. In doing so, this blockage causes a blackhead which however should not be removed by squeezing; instead, it is better to use thorough skin cleansing as a better removal option.
Using a lotion is a good idea but be sure to pick one that is mild and which prevents the skin from drying up. Even a good exfoliator can be tried out as it will at least help in the removal of dead skin which is a factor that causes blackheads.
Even if you manage to succeed with blackhead removal steps, there is always a risk that these blackheads will reappear later on. If they do, then you can try removing them by squeezing the very softly. It also pays to open up the pores which can be done by steaming the affected area. Once the area has been steamed you can make use of tissue (clean and soft) and remove the blocked area by giving the blackhead a very gently squeeze.
Be sure to be very gentle when squeezing the blackheads because if you do this in a harsh manner you risk depressing the blockage which will go down into the skin and give rise to fresh outbreaks of zits. It therefore pays to only gently squeeze the blackheads.
Finally, if all else fails, you can succeed with blackhead removal by turning to surgery which should be non invasive and a simple procedure. Dermabrasion is a good option and the same is the case with use of chemical peels. Another alternative solution is to make use of fat tissue and collagen filling that will also help you get rid of the blackheads.
Laser treatments are also very effective. If you need help or advice then be sure to discuss your problems with a dermatologist.
