Blackheads

Why Do You Get Blackheads?

Blackheads, also called open comedones, are caused by oil and dead skin cells collecting in pores. They turn black because of melanin, not dirt.

They are most common in people with oily skin and usually appear on the nose, forehead, eyebrows, chin, and inside the ears—areas with more oil glands.

What Causes Blackheads?

  • Excess Oil Production – More oil leads to clogged pores.
  • Diet – Sugary foods and low-fat dairy may make blackheads worse.
  • Environment – Pollution and humidity can contribute.
  • Smoking – Can affect skin health and clog pores.
  • Seasonal Changes – Weather shifts can impact oil production.
  • Genetics – Some people are naturally more prone to blackheads.

Most of the time, blackheads are caused by a mix of these factors.

How to Get Rid of Blackheads

It’s best to see a dermatologist to determine the right treatment for your skin. Some of the best treatments include:

  • Topical Retinoids – Help unclog pores and prevent new blackheads.
  • Salicylic Acid Peels – Gently exfoliate and clear pores.
  • Medifacials – Deep clean the skin and remove blackheads.
  • Manual Extraction – A professional can safely remove stubborn blackheads.

With the right care, you can keep your skin clear and blackhead-free!
