No one likes and wants blackheads! And the one thing worse than having them is not knowing how to get rid of them. They can be a repetitive, time-consuming problem to manage — especially if you’re already prone to skin issues and sensitivities generally. Unfortunately, given the pollution, dust, oils and sweat involved in everyday living, blackheads continue to be an issue for nearly everyone.
Cremo is here to help you learn about the best ways to remove blackheads and put your best face forward with a new line of charcoal-based products.
Like every product to wear the Cremo crown, these products are made to Astonishingly Superior standards, not to mention they are some of the best products for blackheads.
What are blackheads?
The Oxford dictionary defines blackheads as:
- A plug of sebum in a hair follicle, darkened by oxidation.
- An infectious disease of turkeys producing discoloration of the head, caused by protozoan.
Hmmm, we guess definition one is more pertinent to all of us (If definition two sounds more like you, we politely advise you to seek the care of a veterinarian.)
How are blackheads formed?
Blackheads are formed when dead skin cells and oils build up in the opening of the follicle (or pore). This creates a bump, and if the skin over the bump opens, the exposure to air turns the bump black – hence the name, ‘blackheads’. Clever, right?
How to Treat Blackheads – Home Remedies
Now on to the best ways to remove blackheads: perhaps you’ve tried such familiar home remedies as steaming, astringents, specialty soaps and facial scrubs, but have not been satisfied with the results? Happily, we’ve put our cosmetic chemists to work to formulate some practical, economical and effective solutions! For now though, let’s look at some blackhead removal treatment which you might be able to achieve at home.
Egg white face mask
You can prevent or reduce blackheads while removing grease and grime from your skin, safely and gently by using an egg white face mask. An ingredient in egg whites, called ‘albumin,’ helps dissolve and clear blackheads while also tightening the pores.
Here’s our recipe: To make this mask, you’ll want to whisk one egg white (no yolk) and apply to pre-washed skin. Next, lay facial tissue strips over the albumin mask; do not cover your mouth, eyes or nostrils! You’ll need to breathe and see. Leave on for around 20 minutes. Then remove and rinse your face with cold water. Apply a Face Wash after this process to really clean up and you’ve had one of the best blackhead treatments your home can provide.
Make-it-yourself Pore Strip
Blackheads are most common on the nose. You’ve probably seen pore-strips in-stores or online (indeed, we make them). Well, it turns out you could make your own pore strip at home using just milk and honey. This two-ingredient combo works wonders: the milk’s lactic acid helps remove dead skin cells and excessive oil while the honey is a great anti-bacterial agent.
For best results, mix one tablespoon of whole milk with one tablespoon of organic honey and then microwave the mixture for 10 seconds. Once cool, apply to the area affected by blackheads, placing a clean cotton strip on top. Wait 15 minutes, gently peel off and rinse your face.
