Blackhead Free Face
What is Acne ?
The problem of acne is common mainly to teenagers who undergo major hormonal changes that trigger the body to produce more oils(sebum) in the skin. Acne occurs when a skin pore becomes clogged due to excess of sebum and dirt, bacteria begins to form and the pore becomes inflamed causing a pimple. Pimple leaves ugly marks on the skin. A pimple may become a 'Whitehead' or a 'Blackhead'.
Whitehead And Blackhead
When pores become clogged with excess oil(sebum), dirt and dead cells they appear as flesh colored bumps and called 'Whiteheads' or pimples. But when these clogged pores become exposed to air they become darker and turn into what we call 'Blackheads'. Blackheads usually tend to form in the most oily areas of face like- nose, cheeks and the chin.
