How To Remove Acne And Blackheads?

'You can't understand the whole, by understanding the parts. But if you can realize the whole, you can very well understand the parts; their functions and responsibilities. This is somewhat a philosophical statement.

But this, rule is applicable to acne also. By now, scientists and researchers have thrown light on many things that are related to acne. But there is no definite information on the causes and treatments of acne. ACNE is the master of its creation, sustenance and eventual destruction. If it is so, you would like to ask me, whether there is no treatment to remove acne and blackheads.

Blackheads are compared to tiny plugs that appear in the pores of the skin. The over active sebaceous glands are responsible for this development. They are oil-producing glands. Skin then, becomes clogged with oil. Skin pores are open to the air and therefore sebum begins to harden. The oil hardening beneath it, pushes this plug to the surface, thus the blackheads become visible.

Visibility of such blackheads means, you have extended a firm invitation to acne. Blockage by the blackhead is the direct cause of acne. Therefore, the process of removing them is to control acne.

You need to use certain trusted medications and procedures to remove the blackheads. Cleanliness gets priority. Keep the skin clean and oil free. Use soft, naturally prepared cleansers, solutions or masks to accomplish this. Do not do any harsh activity on the skin like use of strong soaps.

Taking care of the dead cells is the next step. Use a gentle exfoliant to remove them from the pore openings.

Don't get alarmed by the presence of a good number of blackheads and begin squeezing them. By doing so, you will further damage the skin around the pore. That action may even increase the size of the pore.

Keep a warm compress of water over the area of the blackheads, and apply mild pressure. This will help you get the clog and impurities from the pores cleared.

With the initial break of the acne and blackhead, please don't take a grim view of the situation. But watch your acne. Provide all the natural support to the skin in that area by means of cleansing, soft medication, proper diet, light exercise. Hopefully you will be free from, the problem within 2 to 3 weeks. If it still persists, it is better for you to consult the dermatologist for further advice.
