According to statistics, cleaning is one of the most popular procedures addressed to cosmetologists. Moreover, both women and men of any age - from young to mature come for cleaning with a request to remove closed comedones and black dots. And if not everyone suffers from the first, then almost every person has faced the second to one degree or another. How to remove black dots is one of the most popular search queries, but before performing sometimes absurd actions, let's approach the question competently and try first of all not to harm your own skin.
What are comedones?
Black dots, or more correctly - open comedones, are the accumulation of dirt, dead cells of the epidermis and subcutaneous fat in the pores. Over time, the pores are filled with contents, the outer part of which oxidizes under the influence of air and acquires a color closer to black. The most favorite and problematic places are the forehead, nose and chin, or the so-called T-zone. There are open and closed comedones. Open ones are just the same black dots, and closed ones have the appearance of a white tubercle that rises above the skin level, disrupting its relief. Not only a cosmetologist has to deal with both problems, but independent work to eliminate the problem will bring significant results.Why do they appear?
Our skin has many tasks, one of which is to remove waste products and toxins through the pores. If, for various reasons, the balance is broken, then the mouths of the follicles can be blocked, preventing the contents of the pores from escaping freely. That is, comedones are already a result, which can lead to various reasons. And if you are looking for ways to remove black dots, then first of all, you should start by eliminating the causes:- the use of comedogenic cosmetics or those that are not suitable for your skin type. This applies not only to decorative, but also to care cosmetics. Avoid silicones, heavy oils, talc, etc.
- do not abuse oils in their pure form. Many people follow advice from social networks and begin to actively use oils instead of properly selected cosmetics, which provoke not only clogged pores, but even worse - inflamed rashes
- improper nutrition. If you consume a lot of sugar, fast food, carbonated drinks, etc., skin problems cannot be avoided. The state of the gastrointestinal tract directly affects its appearance. Therefore, often before removing black dots, cosmetologists send clients to a gastroenterologist
- excessive production of testosterone characteristic of the pubertal period
