What are blackheads?
Blackheads or open comedones can appear in absolutely anyone, at any age. This is nothing more than clogged pores with an accumulation of sebum, dust particles and dead cells. The fat that fills the pore is oxidized when exposed to oxygen and turns black. Blackheads are classified as non-inflammatory acne, but enlarged pores create conditions for bacteria to multiply and cause inflammation and subsequent infection, which can ultimately cause scarring and hyperpigmentation.

Causes of blackheads (open comedones).

  1. Insufficient or improper skin care. Ideally, you should use specific cleansers for your skin type twice a day, morning and evening. Additionally, use cleansing masks twice a week. If you follow these rules, your skin will always be clean and fresh.
  2. Abuse of decorative cosmetics, especially low-quality ones (powder, foundation, concealer, etc.).
  3. Hormonal imbalance (often observed in adolescence, during pregnancy, during menopause).
  4. In the summer, against the background of intense sebum secretion, blackheads appear most often, especially on oily skin.
  5. Wrong lifestyle (bad habits, poor diet, lack of physical activity).
  6. Genetic predisposition. Those with oily skin with enlarged pores are prone to the appearance of blackheads.
  7. Endocrine disorders. Failures in the functioning of internal organs while taking certain medications contribute to thickening of the skin and increased sebum production, which ultimately makes it difficult for the skin to cleanse itself of excess fat and dead cells.
  8. Frequent stress.

In addition to basic care in the field of cosmetology, there are many procedures (mechanical cleaning, vacuum cleaning, laser cleaning, etc.) that can effectively and permanently get rid of blackheads. Since there is not always enough time and money for such procedures, you can fight this unpleasant cosmetic problem yourself at home with the help of cleansing masks.

Why do blackheads appear?

The root cause is overactive activity of the sebaceous glands. This is why blackheads appear on the oiliest part of the face - the so-called T-zone, where sebum is produced in excess, giving the skin its characteristic shine.

Blackheads are nothing more than oxidized fat stuck in the pores and turned into sebaceous plugs. They absorb dirt and dust. In addition, sebum contains the pigment melanin, which oxidizes and turns black when exposed to air. Hence the dark color and gloomy name.

Face masks against blackheads are aimed at solving several problems at once: reducing the level of greasiness on the skin surface and cleansing pores. The action time is only 5-10 minutes.

Blackheads are localized in oily areas of the skin.

Can a mask get rid of blackheads?

Maybe, although not always the first time. With regular use, detox masks will cleanse the skin of everything that provokes the formation of sebaceous plugs:

excess sebum;

dead horn cells;

Gradually, the blackheads will at least become lighter.

As a rule, the problems of oily skin and clogged pores are solved with the help of concentrated mineral masks based on natural clay and healing mud. In the list of active ingredients of masks for professional and home use, you will probably find a number of “mineral resources”.

Kaolin

White clay got its name from the city of Kaolin in the Chinese province of Jiangxi, where it was first discovered. It is a natural mineral based on aluminosilicates. Contains silica, calcium, copper, potassium, magnesium, zinc, nitrogen in a form convenient for absorption. Kaolin solves various problems:

has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin in general;

evens out tone and relief;

absorbs excess sebum;

works as a soft exfoliant, which is especially valuable for inflamed skin, for which aggressive abrasives are not recommended.

Natural clay is rich in minerals and trace elements.

Montmorillonite

The most popular clay for gentle cleansing and detoxing can do many things:

absorb pollution and heavy metal salts, drawing them out of the skin;

saturate tissues with useful micro- and macroelements;

exhibit antioxidant properties - neutralize free radicals and prevent lipid peroxidation.

normalize the acid-base balance of the skin;

Bentonite

Often acts as an active ingredient in masks. This mineral clay contains a minimum of 70% montmorillonite.

Ghassoul (rhassoul)

The legendary Moroccan foaming clay (ghassala - translated from Arabic as “to wash”), is mined only in one deposit near the Atlas Mountains. It has long been used in the beauty rituals of Eastern women. Contains minerals, including silicon, magnesium, zinc, sodium, iron, potassium. Has versatile abilities.

Moisturizes the skin and at the same time absorbs everything that interferes with its beauty: excess sebum, pollution.

With regular use, it improves complexion.

Promotes a lifting effect, smoothes out fine wrinkles, reduces swelling.

Perfectly cleanses pores.

It works very gently, so it is suitable for sensitive skin.

Auxiliary components

Mineral masks based on healing mud and clay may contain additional ingredients that increase the effectiveness of the product. The most faithful allies of cleansing masks:

salicylic acid, which has exfoliating and anti-inflammatory effects;

abrasive particles that exfoliate dead cells;

warming components that open pores.

How to prepare your skin for using a mask

The basis for preventing blackheads is regular care

Mineral detox masks for home use usually do not require special skin preparation. But to get rid of blackheads as quickly as possible, it is better to adhere to a certain algorithm.

Apply the mask only to clean skin.

You definitely need to wash your face. The cleaner your face is, the more active and deeper the effect of the mineral mask will be.

Before application, perform a deep cleansing procedure.

Not all mineral masks contain exfoliants. By getting rid of old cells with a scrub, you will increase the effectiveness of the mask.

Warm up your skin with a warm towel.

This will be needed if the mask itself does not have a thermal effect. Heat is known to open pores and promote better cleansing.

Use a salicylic acid toner on a regular basis.

But only if this substance is not included in your mask. Salicylic acid will help loosen the stratum corneum, and a mineral detox will finish the job.

How to apply a mask correctly

The rules for using a mask against blackheads are approximately the same as for masks for other purposes.

Mineral masks literally pull impurities out of pores

Apply it to wet or dry face with your fingers or using a brush or spatula.

Do not keep the mask on for longer than the time specified in the instructions and do not wait for the clay and dirt to crack on your face: even oily skin does not want dryness.

Use detox masks 1-2 times a week. More often it is not recommended: by degreasing the skin too much, you can provoke increased sebum secretion.

After using the mask, apply a pore-tightening product to the T-zone and a moisturizing gel or cream to the cheeks.

To deeply cleanse skin with clogged pores, you will need a face mask for blackheads. But first, you will have to eliminate the root cause of these sebaceous plugs - you will find the list here. As well as a list of the best branded drugs, as well as recipes for home remedies (film masks, black masks).

Open comedones - cysts formed due to blockage of the mouth of the hair follicles by desquamated epithelium mixed with thick lard. They resemble black plugs in enlarged pores. The color of such neoplasms is given by melanin, a substance that is obtained as a result of the oxidation of tyrosine. When squeezed out, the core easily comes out.

Usually appear with hyperkeratosis. They can be eliminated by regular facial cleansing using salon peelings and home scrubs. Another effective remedy against them is face mask for blackheads, which is produced by many branded cosmetic companies. If desired, it can be prepared at home. However, it will be useless if you do not find out the main root cause of this scourge.

Causes of black spots on the face

With proper skin care and a healthy lifestyle, comedones are extremely rare. And even if you do it regularly face mask against blackheads, without eliminating the reasons for their appearance, they will continue to break out again and again. So it’s much more practical to find out once and for all why they form, and not bother your already exhausted skin with endless cleansing. So go through the factors that are the main triggers of these traffic jams and try to get rid of them.

  1. Improper skin care

Blackheads are the lot of those who are lazy to remove makeup before bed and rarely use scrubs and steam baths. Make it a rule to wash your face twice a day with cleansing gel or milk. It is recommended to do radical facial cleansing 1-2 times a week, depending on the condition of the skin.

  1. Problems with cosmetics

Today, many fly-by-night companies produce cheap, but very low-quality and low-quality cosmetics, the remains of which clog pores. It contains synthetic components that do not dissolve and form plugs. The situation is aggravated by the incorrect use of cosmetics. If drying preparations are applied to dry skin, and a heavy, oily consistency is applied to oily and problematic skin, the functioning of the glands is disrupted, and subcutaneous sebum clogs the pores to capacity.

  1. Oily skin type

This reason for the formation of comedones cannot be easily eliminated until a certain age (after 30 years, with the first age-related changes, the epidermis becomes normal, as it loses collagen, elastin and moisture). Oily skin type always means excess production of sebum, which leads to the appearance of a shiny film and blackheads in large numbers on the face. The T-zone is especially affected. There is only one way out - up to the age of 30, arrange regular general skin cleansing.

  1. Hormonal imbalances

Nothing can be done even if a period of rampant hormones has begun. This happens at certain stages of a woman’s life: during puberty (adolescence), pregnancy, lactation, menstruation, regular use of birth control, menopause. Here you just need to wait out this difficult time - and everything will pass by itself. And masks against blackheads will become a real salvation.

Comedones often become a consequence of long-term treatment with powerful medications. Antibiotics, for example. Chemotherapy and taking birth control pills for too long also lead to clogged pores.

Diseases of the stomach and nervous system are another reason for the formation of comedones. So you will have to be examined and undergo a course of treatment. Or, if you have severe nervous tension, try to avoid stress and take antidepressants.

  1. Unbalanced diet

Dry eating, quick snacks, addiction to fast foods and carbonated drinks, non-compliance with diet - all this worsens the condition of the skin and contributes to the abundance of blackheads on the face. And one mask clearly won’t do the job here. Get to know the principles of proper nutrition and finally start sticking to them.

  1. Bad habits

Smoking, alcohol, drugs - after them, toxins settle not only in the body, but also in the pores, clogging them tightly with plugs.

Living in an industrial area of ​​the city with constantly polluted air, and even high humidity - even with regular use of masks, dirt and toxins will constantly accumulate in the pores. The result will be a vicious circle. There are two options: salon facial cleansing or moving.

Such a detailed overview of the reasons why these unpleasant marks form on the face black dots, is a warning that not a single, even the most effective mask against comedones, described below, will cope with the scourge if you do not get rid of the provoking factor.

The skin tends to get used to the same cosmetic composition and eventually stops responding to it. So you will have to endlessly look for different masks and recipes, and not all of them will work. It’s much easier to nip an attack in the bud. Well, in parallel, of course, do cleaning.

Interesting fact. Many homemade masks for blackheads are made from activated carbon - and for good reason. This substance has a large number of pores, so it is easily and deeply absorbed by the surface of the skin.

Useful tips for using masks

It remains to be seen how to make a face mask for blackheads at home and how to apply it correctly to get the maximum benefit. A few tips will come in handy. If you adhere to them, the contents of comedones will be very easy to extract out using the proposed means.

  1. Contraindications: flaky, dry skin and narrow pores.
  2. Both store-bought and homemade masks for blackheads can cause skin allergies, so be sure to check how your skin reacts to a particular product. Usually, the sensitive skin of the wrist is lubricated for this purpose. However, this method does not always give 100% results.
  1. Before cleaning, steam the problem area using a vaporizer or herbal steam bath.
  2. There is no need to injure the skin with additional cleansing with a scrub, since a mask against blackheads will be enough. Better do it the day before.
  3. Do not apply this product to the entire surface of your face: treat only the contaminated area. Most often this T-zone - chin, nose, forehead.
  4. Action time is approximately 10-20 minutes. It’s rare that masks are left on for half an hour, unless they are ones that don’t form a film.
  5. If the film mask against blackheads does not want to be removed from the face, literally sticking to the skin, do not tear it off forcibly. This will lead to injury. It is enough to lightly moisten your face with water at room temperature.
  6. After removing the blackheads, a protective or soothing cream is applied to the skin.
  7. Within an hour after the procedure It is not recommended to go outside.
  8. If the mask is used as a preventive measure, it can be done once a week. If there are a lot of blackheads and pimples - twice.

If there are no questions with the use of the product, it’s time to start making a choice. It can be found on the store counter - in beautiful packaging, with an ideal formula inside, a pleasant smell and convenient consistency and brand name. But at the same time, it will definitely contain parabens, fragrances, dyes and other synthetic and chemical substances that do not have a completely positive effect on the epidermis. And it will cost a lot of money. Can you cook good face mask for blackheads at home. The choice is yours.

On a note. If you use a black mask made from medicinal mud to eliminate blackheads, keep in mind that it has wound-healing properties. So if you have scars or post-acne after acne, be sure to take advantage of this.
