What Are Blackheads?
Blackheads are clogged pores filled with excess oil, dead skin cells, and dirt. Unlike whiteheads, they stay open, causing oxidation, which turns them black. They most commonly appear on the nose, chin, forehead, and sometimes on the back and chest.
How Do Blackheads Form?
Blackheads develop when:
- Excess oil (sebum) and dead skin cells clog pores
- Dirt, bacteria, and pollution build up on the skin
- Hormonal changes cause oil glands to produce more sebum
- Skincare mistakes (like over-exfoliating) disrupt the skin barrier
How to Remove Blackheads Effectively
