Open comedo, commonly known as a blackhead is a kind of acne vulgaris.
When oil produced by the ducts in the sebaceous gland accumulates and gets clogged with dead skin cells, a blackhead is normally formed.
You need to use a safe and effective method to get rid of your blackheads.
Some of the methods that people use could even be harmful.
So ensure that the method you use is safe and harmless to your skin.
Moreover, take a wholesome approach to managing this skin condition.
Since blackheads are formed due to excessive oiliness and accumulation of dead skin cells, keep your skin cleansed regularly and free of oil.
Here is one of the quickest ways to get rid of blackheads.
1.
Make the pores of the skin open up using one of several methods.
If the condition is mild, place a hot towel over your face to expand the pores.
For better results, you can steam your face.
Take a bowl of hot water and cover your head along with the bowl with a sheet or towel.
Then bend over the bowl holding your face close to the bowl.
This will expand the pores of your skin effectively.
2.
Soak a clean wash cloth in olive oil or almond oil until it gets totally saturated with the oil, and then put a little toothpaste on the washcloth.
Use only the regular white type taste and not a gel toothpaste.
3.
Rub the washcloth gently over the affected area along with the toothpaste and the oil.
Continue rubbing until the paste and oil are completely absorbed.
4.
If the affected area is large, you can add more oil and toothpaste and repeat the process again.
Rub the washcloth over the entire affected region.
Cover the entire face if the whole face is affected with blackheads.
5.
Let the oil and the paste work on the skin for about five minutes or more.
Starting this process by steaming will keep the pores open and help the ingredients to reach deep down into the pores to dislodge the blackheads.
Finish off by rinsing the face with hot water and wiping with a clean towel.
Oil and toothpaste contain natural substances and do not affect the skin in any way.
This is therefore a gentle and effective treatment for getting rid of blackheads as quickly as possible.
Continue to keep your skin free of oil to prevent recurrence of blackheads.
