BLACKHEADS
what are blackheads
Blackheads are small bumps that appear on the skin due to clogged hair follicles. These bumps are caused by excess oils, dirt, and dead skin cells that build up and harden in the follicle opening. Blackheads are a common type of acne and usually appear on the face, but can also be found on the back, chest, neck, arms, and shoulders. To remove blackheads, it is best to use a gentle exfoliator, use a blackhead extractor tool, and/or use a facial mask containing salicylic acid or clay to draw out impurities.

different types of blackheads
Blackheads are a form of acne that can appear on any part of the body. They are caused by excess oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells that clog the pores of the skin. Generally, there are two types of blackheads: open and closed comedones. Open comedones are blackheads that have a raised center and are open at the surface, while closed comedones are blackheads that are closed at the surface, often appearing as white or yellow bumps. Blackheads can also form in clusters, which are called blackhead mounds. Regardless of the type of blackhead, it is important to keep the skin clean and free of oils and bacteria to prevent and reduce the appearance of them.
