Will blackheads disappear by themselves if they are not squeezed? What causes blackheads?

Blackheads are a skin problem that bothers many people. Even if you don’t squeeze or ignore the blackheads, they will not fall off by themselves. The blackheads will always be in your pores. Correctly removing blackheads can promote body metabolism.

Blackheads will not disappear by themselves if they are not squeezed, but the incorrect way to deal with blackheads will not only not make them disappear, but will become more and more serious. The correct way to deal with blackheads is to wash your face first to prevent bacterial infection, then open the pores and gently scrape off the loose blackheads with an acne needle. Use a mask to peel off the blackheads and use a toner to shrink the pores after cleaning them. First of all, the premise of all methods is to wash your face first to prevent bacterial infection, and then open the pores (you can use a hot towel to apply to your face, or a facial steamer).

1. Squeezing with your hands may feel good for a while, but there are too many bacteria on your hands, which can easily cause infection and damage skin tissue. This method is not recommended.

2. Use an acne needle to gently scrape off the loose blackheads. But don't use too much force. After cleaning, wet the cotton pad with astringent water and stick it on the nose. You can wait until it dries or just apply it for a few minutes, because this step can shrink the pores and tighten the skin. This method also needs to be disinfected well, otherwise it is easy to cause infection.

3. The egg membrane has a good astringent and beautifying effect. Tear off the egg membrane completely and apply it to the area where blackheads are concentrated. It will take about 10 minutes. Tear off the membrane when it is semi-dry, and most of the blackheads will be removed. You can use egg white liquid and cotton pad instead, but egg white contains a lot of bacteria, so you should also pay attention to hygiene.

4. The mask peeling method. There are many masks on the market. That kind of mask is more convenient and hygienic. The principle is the same as peeling off blackheads with egg white. Similarly, after using this method to clean blackheads, you need to use astringent to shrink the pores to prevent dirt from entering the newly opened pores and causing a vicious cycle.

Blackheads are hardened oil blockages. They appear because the oil in the skin is not discharged in time. Over time, the oil hardens and blocks the pores. The nose is the most oily part. If it is not cleaned in time, the oil mixed with the accumulated dead skin cells will form small black spots.

1. Genes

Because everyone's physique is different, the size of their pores is also different. Moreover, even if the same maintenance work is done, the degree of improvement of the pores will vary. Therefore, people who are born with worse pore conditions may need to put more effort than others to take care of their skin.

2. Sunlight

If you are overexposed to the sun, in addition to causing abnormal metabolism of epidermal cells, it will also cause the connective tissue to lose elasticity. This is why some people's pores are getting bigger even though they have passed puberty.

3. Over-cleansing your skin

When the weather gets hot, the sebum secretion of our pores becomes more vigorous. In order to remove the annoying oily shine, many people often wash their faces and remove makeup, thinking that this way they can say goodbye to greasiness. But in fact, unless you take medication, no matter what oil-removing actions we take, at most we can only remove the oil on our faces, and it is impossible to control the secretion of oil. On the contrary, if you clean too vigorously, the skin will become tight, dry, and peel, and even some small flakes will appear, which will easily cause our skin to have abnormal keratin metabolism or aging, causing greater damage.

4. Squeeze pimples and blackheads

When you get a pimple on your face, most people's first reaction is to squeeze it hard in front of the mirror. You may feel very satisfied squeezing it, but I have to be honest with you. For a lot of pimples that are deeper, larger, or clearly visible to the naked eye, even if you squeeze them, the oil and cuticle stuck inside can be discharged, but the spring next to it has been deformed and has no elasticity, so it is still a hole, and the oil and cuticle are stuck back in a few days!

5. High temperature environment

The sebaceous glands become more active due to certain environmental factors, the biggest influence of which is the temperature of the environment. Once the temperature of the surrounding environment becomes higher, the secretion of the sebaceous glands will increase. According to statistics, the secretion of the sebaceous glands will increase by 10% for every degree increase in the ambient temperature of the human body. If you compare the environment of 25 degrees Celsius and 35 degrees Celsius, the latter secretes twice as much sebum as the former.

6. Stress and Hormonal Imbalance

Sometimes, we encounter some troubles in life or in the body, which naturally cause us a kind of pressure. In order to fight against these pressures, the body's hormone system will adjust. While the hormones are adjusting, adrenaline and testosterone will also be high. If these troubles exceed our psychological or physical resistance, the high testosterone will be more obvious, and the secretion of sebum will increase. Compared with any other external factors, this reason is less likely to be detected because it takes a longer time to brew. However, this surge in sebaceous gland secretion caused by hormones cannot be solved by maintenance. Usually, only the blockage can be improved.

7. Improper diet

Many people may think that the more fried food you eat, the more likely you are to get acne. But in fact, after we eat fried food, the oil does not go directly into the pores. On the contrary, most of the oil will be metabolized. As for whether the remaining oil will increase the secretion of sebaceous glands, that depends on two factors: physical constitution and hormones.

8. Medication

Whether a drug will cause harm depends mainly on the person's physical condition. Some people may be more sensitive to certain drugs, but others may have no problem taking them. So we would recommend that if you have severe acne after taking certain drugs, or your skin becomes redder and your hair falls out more after sun exposure, then you can check whether the drug you were taking contains the following ingredients. As long as they are discovered early, harm can usually be avoided in time.

The reason for the formation of blackheads is that tiny dust enters the pores, causing the oil secretion to be unable to be discharged normally, and long-term blockage forms a mixture of dust and oil. Do not squeeze blackheads after they appear, because squeezing blackheads will make the pores larger, and dust will more easily enter the pores to form blackheads again, causing a vicious cycle. The best way to deal with it is to wash your face with hot water first to open the pores of the nose, and then use a grease-removing facial cleanser, wash with hot water and then wash with cold water to close the pores of the nose. After persisting in this method for a period of time, the blackheads will gradually disappear.

1. Use rice to remove blackheads. This method is simple and feasible.

Using rice to remove blackheads is a method that not many people use, but you can give it a try. Pinch a small ball of cooked rice and gently apply it on your face to remove all the dirt.

2. Egg white to remove blackheads

1. Prepare clean cotton pads and tear the thick cotton pads into thinner sheets. The thinner the better.

2. Open an egg, separate the egg white from the yolk, and keep the egg white for later use;

3. Soak the torn cotton pad in egg white, drain it slightly and stick it on the tip of your nose;

4. Wait for ten to fifteen minutes, and carefully tear off the cotton pad after it is completely dry.

3. Use pearl powder to remove blackheads

Pearl powder can effectively remove aging cuticles and blackheads. Go to the drugstore to buy good quality pearl powder for internal use, then take an appropriate amount and put it into a beauty device, add an appropriate amount of water, mix the pearl powder into a paste, apply it evenly on the face, massage the face until the pearl powder on the face becomes dry, it is best to wash it off with clean water, use it twice a week.

4. Salt

After washing your face, apply a proper amount of salt on your nose and massage in circles while your skin is still wet. You will feel the salt slowly melting. Continue massaging. After about ten minutes (you can feel it yourself), rinse it off with clean water!
