Is it harmful to wash your face after sucking out blackheads?

Blackheads are a common skin problem for us. They usually grow on both sides of the nose, or on the tip of the nose. The appearance of blackheads will not only easily affect the image, but also easily cause certain blockages in the pores, which greatly affects the health of the skin. There are many ways to remove blackheads. You can use a facial mask or skin care products to clean blackheads. After cleaning, you can wash your face and then do skin care.

Can you wash your face after sucking blackheads?

Causes of blackheads

1. Genetic changes

Blackheads are actually rice-shaped foreign bodies that grow in the pores on the face. Open storage in the epidermis. Can be squeezed out or excluded. It is a constitutional skin disease and has little impact on health. Like a tumor, it does not hurt or itch. Pores are originally small holes for sweat and an outlet for metabolism. When something like this grows, the pores become larger, affecting beauty. They can be removed regularly. After removal, the pores will be sunken and blocked, leaving coding pits. According to research, it may be related to the genetic system (genes) in the body itself. Science in health care and prevention is very important. It is a single gene disease. Even if the same maintenance work is done, the degree of improvement that can be achieved in pores will vary. Therefore, people who are born with worse pore conditions may need to put in a little more effort than others to take care of their skin.

(ii) Sunlight exposure

If you are overexposed to the sun, in addition to causing abnormal metabolism of epidermal cells, it will also cause the connective tissue to lose elasticity. This is why some people's pores are getting bigger even though they have passed puberty.

(III) Over-cleansing the skin

When the weather gets hot, the sebum secretion of our pores becomes more vigorous. In order to remove the annoying "oily shine", many people often wash their faces and remove makeup, thinking that this way they can say goodbye to greasiness. But in fact, unless you take medication, no matter what oil-removing actions you take, at most you can only remove the oil on your face, and it is impossible to control the secretion of oil. On the contrary, if you clean too vigorously, your skin will become tight, dry, and peeling, and even some small flakes will appear, which will easily cause our skin to have abnormal keratin metabolism or aging, causing greater damage.

(IV) Squeezing pimples and blackheads

When a pimple appears on your face, most people’s first reaction is to “squeeze it hard in front of the mirror”. You may feel very satisfied with squeezing it, but I must honestly tell you that there are three reasons why you should not squeeze pimples:

First, these pimples are like bombs buried in the skin. If we squeeze them, it is possible that the bombs will be discharged temporarily, but it is more likely that these bombs will explode when squeezed, leaving indelible scars.

Second, during the squeezing process, the connective tissue around the pores is often compressed and deformed, and can no longer recover its original elasticity and supporting force. For example, some people who originally had poor skin have beautiful skin after treatment or maintenance, but the pores in the T-zone can never return to their original size (because most people like to squeeze the T-zone the most). This may be because they were squeezed too much before, and the spring (connective tissue) has completely lost its elasticity and can never return to its original appearance.

Third, there are quite a few pimples that are deeper, larger or clearly visible to the naked eye. Even if you squeeze them, the oil and keratin stuck inside can be discharged, but the spring next to it has been deformed and has no elasticity, so it is still a hole, and the oil and keratin will be stuck back in a few days! After reading the above explanation, you will understand why every dermatologist emphasizes not to squeeze.

(V) High temperature environment

Theoretically, the size of the pores on the same person is certain, and the thickness of the hair that grows is also certain. If the pores become larger, it is simply because the sebaceous glands secrete too much, or the pores become clogged, or the surrounding connective tissue loses elasticity and then expands. Among them, the most easily noticed is the secretion of sebaceous glands. Although natural constitution will affect the number and thickness of sebaceous glands, the sebaceous glands will become more active due to certain environmental factors. The biggest influence is the temperature in the environment. Once the temperature of the surrounding environment becomes high, the secretion of sebaceous glands will increase. According to statistics, the secretion of sebaceous glands will increase by 10% for every degree increase in the ambient temperature of the human body. If you compare the environment of 25 degrees Celsius and 35 degrees Celsius, the latter secretes twice as much sebum as the former.

Therefore, there are many more people with acne and pimples on their faces in summer than in winter, and people who work in hot environments for a long time will find it more difficult to clean their skin.
