How To Get Rid Of And Prevent Blackheads

Blackheads are definitely one of the most unsightly things that can spoil the look of your skin, so removing them is high on the list of priorities for most people. Especially, since just leaving them will not make them go away in the long run.

Blackheads are simply clogged hair follicles and pores. Some of it is keratin, composed of dead skin cells, but the rest of it is sebum which the skin continually produces. When the skin’s pores are clogged on the surface there is no outlet for the sebum to flow out and it gathers under the skin slowly enlarging the pores, making blackheads bigger and more obvious. Eventually, it can stretch the pores so much, they will not be able to close fully even if blackheads are removed.

Here are some ways to deal with blackheads, starting with the most expensive:

Squeezing or extracting blackheads out is a very simple and effective way of getting rid of them instantly, but if you do it without proper precautions, it can actually cause more problems than it solves. Without proper hygiene and sanitation,  bacteria can get into the open pores and start an infection which will result in puss forming and pores filling up with even worse stuff than in the first place. It can also result in scarring and you certainly want to avoid that.
Additionally, especially if you have darker skin, squeezing blackheads out, can easily lead to skin discolourations and those can be a lot harder to get rid of than a simple blackhead.
If you choose to have your blackheads extracted by a professional, they will use the steam or warm damp towels to open your pores, so that the blackheads will be able to slide out easier. Your face and instruments will be sterilized and after the skin specialist finishes extracting the blackheads, they will make sure that your face is cleaned, swelling is minimized and the pores are closed.

You can do the whole process at home as well, but the chances of introducing bacteria into your skin which will cause infections are a lot higher.

In conclusion, squeezing blackheads out, unless done by a professional is probably the easiest way leading to side effects which you definitely do not want to deal with.

Proper extraction and treatment at a salon can cost anywhere between $60 – $150/session and you might need more than one visit.

2. Blackhead removal strips and masks.

A safer and cheaper way of removing blackheads than squeezing them yourself would be the strips and masks.
The strips are designed only for small areas such as around the nose, forehead or chin as they are quite small in size. They are coated with some sort of adhesive glue and when you stick them on your face, they will pull out the plugs from your pores when you remove them.
Different strips seem to utilize different glue-like substances and there is some evidence that some of those chemicals might not be great for the health of your skin in the long run.

The masks are of the type that you paint on, wait for it to dry out and then you pull them off. It is advisable to test on the small area initially as some masks can be quite hard to rip off and some people with sensitive skin might not cope very well with that amount of pain. However, they certainly can remove a lot of the plugs.

Strips and mask will cost around 0.30 cents to $2.30/ treatment, so certainly more affordable.

3. Super deep exfoliation is probably the best way of removing blackheads and preventing new ones forming.

To achieve this, your regular exfoliation, be it with microbeads (which are totally TRAGIC for the environment) or loofah-type products are not really much help. They simply do not penetrate deep enough. Chemical exfoliators can compromise your skin’s health so it is really swapping one problem for another…

What you really need is a tool, which will remove all of the keratin (the dead skin layer covering skin’s surface) and which will let sebum flow freely thus both getting rid of blackheads but also preventing more of them forming.

Introducing Baiden Mitten…

At 49 cents/ session, it might seem a bit expensive until you realize that, unlike other exfoliation methods, that cost is not only for exfoliating your face, but your whole body.
Baiden Mitten gathers and rolls off the dead skin layer completely, exposing baby soft, vibrant and clear skin underneath.

If you suffer from blackheads, especially large ones, you will see your skin completely transform right in front of your eyes.

Smaller skin plugs will be cleared completely and larget blackheads will become virtually invisible as the Baiden Mitten will remove the oxidised, black part of the blackhead leaving the softer, skin coloured sebum still in the pore. That way, you will not finish with deep holes in your face, just smooth, even skin.
Continue your exfoliation sessions over a few weeks and you will find that your pores will slowly diminish in size. Really big ones might not close completely, but they will certainly be smaller if you used any other method. Baiden Mitten is the only product that will make your skin not only clearer but also healthier.

As I said, it can be used all over your body, so if you have blackheads on the back or your chest, they will certainly be taken care of as well as any other skin conditions which benefit from very deep exfoliation and skin massage. Conditions such as Keratosis Pilaris, dermatitis, dry skin, acne and scarring, razor burn and uneven skin tone can be easily improved with using the mitt.
