Whiteheads: Do Not Squeeze
February 18, 2009
Whiteheads are a bother. They are nothing but sebum that blocks the pores. Those with oily skin are prone to this problem. The reason why they do not turn black is because they are not exposed to air. Whiteheads occur on those areas that are delicate. The areas include nose, under the eyes, forehead and cheekbones.
Like blackheads, whiteheads are equally disturbing. They make the skin look unhealthy and make the texture look rough. To avoid such problems you need to take really good care of your skin. And just in case you already have this problem then you need help to get rid of them.
It seems that the easiest and the most commonly used method of getting rid of whiteheads is to squeeze them. As a matter of fact many have the habit of doing so. Remember, squeezing whiteheads is a big NO. It is very harmful if you squeeze the whiteheads, as there is a chance that the area will be more infected, and on top the area will turn red. On the other hand, squeezing will not remove the residue. So whatever you do, keep your hands off the whiteheads.
Like any other skin problem, this can be dealt with as well. You can visit a skin specialist and take medicines. You can also consult a beauty expert and follow the tips that she/he suggests. But there are some things that you can do on your own.
First of all, keep your skin clean. Wash your face with a gentle face wash. Use a mild exfoliator at least three times a week. Before you exfoliate, apply mild steam to your face. That will make the skin soft and the pores will open up. But remember to splash cool water on your face to close the pores. Or you can also apply toners that will also close the pores as well. In this case you can also use a home made scrubber. Use fruits to prepare the scrubber.
Always use creams, lotions and gels that contain alpha hydroxyl acids. They help to unclog pores and get rid of whiteheads.
For better results use medicated soaps and apply moisturizer that is oil free.
Follow these simple tips and keep your skin whitehead-free.
