Many people gets blackheads. They may be satisfying to squeeze but all that squeezing can damage pores. If you suffer from blackheads it might be time to take a trip to Sole Revival. Where they will create a customised treatment specifically for your skin.

So what is a blackhead?

A blackhead is not dirt trapped in the pores. Pores are connected to oil glands that produce sebum to keep your skin feeling soft. Blackheads are pores that are clogged with sebum and dead skin. When the sebum and skin cells are exposed to oxygen, they become black in colour. Blackheads are caused by abnormal secretion of sebum. Therefore in many cases, frequent face washing can exacerbate the problem and there has been little evidence to support this method as a deterrent.

However, a daily skin routine with a good cleanser, toner and moisturiser can keep blackheads at bay.

What causes blackheads?
Blackheads are caused by dead skin and oil getting trapped in your pore. They can also be caused by a diet high in dairy. There are also links between smoking and the severity of skin problems.

How can we treat blackheads?

If you’ve ever fallen victim to pore strips, harsh exfoliators or the latest mask treatment, you will know how little they do to actually stop them reoccurring. Some of the best treatments for treating blackheads are;

Microdermabrasion,

The goal is to remove the superficial layer of dry, dead skin cells to reveal the healthy skin underneath and unclog the pores.
