April 17, 2009
Plugs or black coloured bumps on the skin are called ‘blackheads’. Filled up with deposits of oil and skin cells that are dead, they are actually blocked up pores.
They are also part of the skin ailment known as acne and are commonly found on the areas in the body where sebaceous glands are found, such as the chest, back and face.
They are usually more in number than zits and pimples and flourish in skins that are naturally oily. When such skin is exposed to polluted environment, blackheads grow worse.
Good hygiene should be maintained to achieve a cure for blackheads. Skin treatment methods, including laser therapy are numerous but the most recommended ways are the natural ones. Here are a few home remedies to combat blackheads.
