How blackheads form on your skin

Ever looked closely at your nose and thought, “Where the hell did all those little black dots come from?”


Here’s what’s actually happening, your pores contain oil glands that produce sebum, your skin’s natural oil.


Add dead skin cells into the mix, and sometimes that oil and cellular debris can build up inside the follicle, the pore becomes clogged.


And when that clogged pore stays open at the surface, the contents are exposed to oxygen and can appear dark or black.


So, no...


Blackheads aren't dirt sitting on your skin, they're clogged pores.


And constantly squeezing them isn't exactly the skincare strategy we want to build around.


If you're dealing with stubborn blackheads or congested skin, the right professional treatment and home care routine can help keep your skin clearer and more balanced.
