Using toothpaste to remove blackheads has serious consequences

Most people have little black spots on their noses and even on some people’s faces. In fact, this thing is what is commonly known as blackheads. Regarding blackheads, there are many ways to remove blackheads on the Internet. One of them is to use toothpaste to remove blackheads. This method has little effect on removing blackheads and may even cause more serious consequences to the facial skin. Today I will introduce several other ways to remove blackheads.

What are blackheads?

In fact, it is not difficult to guess how blackheads are formed. Our noses have sweat hairs, and where there are sweat hairs there must be hair follicles. The hair follicles will secrete oil from the bottom layer of the skin to the surface of the skin to protect the skin and moisturize it. However, if the metabolism is excessive and the secretion is too much, and if they are not cleaned in time, the hair follicles will easily become larger. Over time, excess sebum will turn into whiteheads, which will then turn into blackheads when oxidized by air.

2. Physical blackhead removal method

1. Remove blackheads

Blackhead extraction is a physical solution that uses adhesive force to pull blackheads out of the pores. The most common ones are various nose stickers, but many people can't stick anything when using them. In fact, as long as you master some tips, you can pull out more blackheads. After taking a shower or applying a hot towel to your cleansed face to soften the cuticles and open the pores, apply a sticky nose patch while the skin is still wet (the nose patch should not be too wet). Wait until the nose patch is completely dry and begins to harden, then peel it off from bottom to top, and you will find that many blackheads have been pulled out.

2 Deep cleansing mask to remove blackheads

Deep cleansing masks generally have the function of removing blackheads, because deep cleansing can generally remove the old dead cuticle, so that the oil particles blocked inside can be discharged more smoothly. Moreover, some deep cleansing masks contain ingredients with adsorption functions such as kaolin and activated carbon, which can also absorb blackheads from the skin surface instead of hiding them deep in the pores. In order to reduce the number of blackheads, keeping the pores unblocked is the fundamental issue. Therefore, many people will find that although using a deep cleansing mask once does not significantly remove many blackheads, if used regularly and continuously, they will gradually find that the number of blackheads decreases.

Three tips for removing blackheads

1. Use baby oil to remove blackheads

After cleansing, start massaging the blackheads on the nose with baby oil for about 45 minutes (you can add more baby oil in between). After massage, you need to cleanse your face again and then apply astringent water to shrink the pores.

2. Baking soda to remove blackheads

First, put a small spoonful of baking soda in a clean container, pour a little warm water to rinse it, and then add cold water. Then soak the cotton pad in the soda water, take it out, apply it on the nose, remove it after 15 minutes, wait for the water to dry slightly, and gently rub the nose with your hands.
