How to get rid of blackheads? - Homemade remedies
What is blackhead?
Blackheads are an extremely normal skin condition that generally affect your face, neck, back and chest. There are different causes, including an excessive amount of oil on your skin and hair follicle disturbance. Blackheads regularly affect young people, however they can occur to anyone irrespective of age.
How is a blackhead formed?
A 'Blackhead' appears when a clog or plug develops in the opening of hair follicles in your skin. Each follicle contains one hair and a sebaceous gland that produces oil. This oil, called sebum, helps keep your skin soft.
Is it possible to treat Blackhead at home ?
Blackheads can sometimes disappear just like that. It mainly depends on how deep blackheads are in your skin. If a blackhead is close to the surface of your skin, it's more likely to go away on its own. However, some blackheads can be deeply embedded in your skin. So, before anything gets chronic we have to act immediately.
