Answer 1

Removing Blackheads can be Accomplished Using a Blackhead Gun or Similar Homemade Contrivance

Blackheads are unsightly indented lesions on the face caused by bacteria and white blood cells trapped in a pore or follicle below the facial surface. Blackheads will almost always clear up on their own, but for those who need to remove them as quickly as possible, there a number of ways to assist in getting rid of these blemishes. How to remove blackheads? Most techniques, both commercial as well as home remedies, involve removing the pus from the pore or follicle.

One innovative way of removing blackheads is to use the inner cylinder of an ink pen. This tube is just the right size for surrounding most blackheads. Place the tube over the blackhead and apply a gentle twisting pressure to remove the contents of the blackhead. While this remedy is effective, it is not very sanitary and involves the mess that may accompany dismantling an ink pen.

The best way to mechanically remove blackheads is to purchase a commercial blackhead gun. Its method of operation is identical to the ink pen methods, but the materials of the gun are gentler on the skin, and the dimensions of the device are designed for the treatment of blackheads, not for the holding of ink.

If you use one of these mechanical black head removal methods, be sure to quickly clean the skin surrounding the erstwhile blackhead thoroughly with soap and water, and then apply cold pressure to close up the hole that once contained the blackhead.

In addition to mechanical blackhead removal methods, it is also possible to buy over the counter medications and washes that will help reduce the occurrence of blackheads by removing excess oil, dirt, and bacterial agents. It can be helpful to apply steam to the face for a few minutes before using these over the counter treatments. This will open up the pores and enable the medication or cleansing agent to penetrate deep into the skin.-

Answer 3

normal functioning pore produces a normal amount of sebum (oil). When a normal amount of oil is produced, it effortlessly moves through the pore and out onto the surface of skin, where it melts into an imperceptible film forming a protective, healthy barrier over the face. The amount of oil produced is regulated almost exclusively by hormones, specifically androgens, which are the hormones that create masculine human characteristics.

When hormones cause too much sebum (oil) to be produced, dead skin cells are in the way, and the pore is impaired or misshapen, the path for the oil is blocked, creating a clog—a perfect environment where blackheads or/and whiteheads can occur. Further exacerbating these conditions are the use of skin-care or makeup products containing ingredients similar to the composition of sebum (human sebum is a mixture of triglycerides, fatty acids, wax esters, squalene, cholesterol, and cholesterol esters). All these substances are typically found in thousands of cosmetic products and they can absorb into the pore, adding to the build up of sebum. Interestingly and contrary to popular belief, the ingredients mineral oil and petrolatum cannot absorb into the pore because their molecular size is too large. Both ingredients feel greasy, especially on oily skin, but neither has been proven to clog pores or contribute to blackheads. In short, when a combination of skin cells and too much sebum are trapped inside a pore and the pore is not covered over by skin, the clog is exposed to air, causing cells and sebum to oxidize and resulting in the dark color of a blackhead. When the sebum and skin cells are inside a pore that is covered by skin, they are not exposed to air and therefore stay clear, but form a slight white bump under the skin.

Cleanse your face with unboiled milk, gently rub a coarse cloth dipped in milk to remove the blackheads. Steam your face with herbs like lavender, lemon peel and mint leaves added to the water and let the skin soak up its goodness.

Green wintergreen rubbing alochol, pour a bit on a tissue and wipe your face..you will see the tissue become very dirty. Do it every morning and every night before bed. This is one of those tricks that no one ever knows..The best part..the bottle is usually about 89 cents... I find it at vons or walgreens.

My husband had bad acne and he went to the dermatoligist and tried everything but this works and he is perfectly clear.

Answer 6

first of all, you will under no circumstances have the skill to alter the scale of your pores. in spite of the undeniable fact that, in case you utilize cleansing washes (and that i'd circulate to my nearby salon as quickly as a month for a deep undesirable cleansing), you could create the result that your pores are smaller.

try a product called Boire, they do a few different applications, all of which are very good, a bit expensive, but worth it.
