You are fed up of the
whiteheads on your face. You looked so pretty but these
whiteheads ruined your face. Go through these suggestions
and know how to get rid of whiteheads.
Cause of Whiteheads
- Unusual exfoliation of skin cells contributes to the growth of pimples. The dead skin cells clog up the pimples.
- Some individuals produce sebum which is drier than normal. This creates a skin environment conducive to the growth of whiteheads.
- Sebaceous glands in some people produce oleic acid which irritates the skin and promotes the formation of plugs. The plugs result in whiteheads later.
Cure of Whiteheads
Here are some remedies
regarding how to prevent whiteheads.
Use Natural Products
Natural products are best for
removing whiteheads. Oatmeal and yogurt prove useful when
you try to get rid of whiteheads.
Wash your Face
Wash your face thoroughly at
least two times a day. Try putting baby powder on your skin.
The baby powder dries whatever is on your skin. Steam your
face over hot water to open the clogged pores every three
days.
Use Oil Free Products
Use oil-free products to wash
your skin. Smooth out the skin daily with a facial scrub
suitable for your skin tone two to three times a week.
Use Oil-free
Moisturizers
Don’t hesitate to use
oil-free moisturizers on the skin. If the skin gets too dry,
it will only increase the oil production and result in more
breakouts.
Do not Pop Pimples
Popping pimples would
increase the problem. It would cause scarring. Oil would
spread to other areas causing more whiteheads.
Applying a Compressor
Use a hot, wet compressor on
an existing whitehead to open the clogged pore.
Using Lotion or
Creams
Apply topical lotion or cream
having retinoid (derived from vitamin A) over the pimples.
It would be helpful in opening the clogged pores. Any acne
lotion having salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide would also
be helpful.
See a Dermatologist
Seek help from a dermatologist if home treatments fail to deliver. Using a sterile pen-like instrument the medical professional would open the pores and take out the plugged skin cells.
