Thorough facial cleansing.
To get rid of blackheads, it is necessary to ensure thorough skin cleansing, which should consist of several steps:
- Cleansing with hydrophilic oil and facial foam or gel.
Begin by using hydrophilic oil to remove surface impurities, followed by a facial foam or gel to cleanse the skin more deeply.
- Applying toner.
After cleansing, apply a toner to balance the skin’s pH and prepare it for the next step.
- Moisturizing.
Only after completing the previous steps should, you apply cream to your face. Choose a cream that is suited to your skin type and is not too greasy.
In addition to daily care, it is also necessary to ensure periodic deep cleansing of the skin. It is recommended to use cosmetic products containing acids (such as fruit, almond or lactic acid) to deeply clean pores, tighten them and normalize sebum production. It is recommended to choosing a peeling gel that does not damage the skin while effectively removing dead cells and normalizing the function of sebaceous glands. Clay masks can also be a good option—they deeply cleanse the skin by excess sebum and help even out the complexion.
However, home methods and various cosmetic products work only superficially and blackheads may reappear soon. Therefore, for a deep facial cleansing, visit a cosmetologist who can recommend the appropriate care and necessary treatments. Lack of thorough cleansing can lead to slowed metabolic processes and regeneration in the dermis. In this case you need go to the doctor. Dermatologist may recommend the use of gels (for example Adapen Gel), creams (for example Tretin Cream) and lotions (for example Acnederm). Using these products speeds up skin renewal and reduces the visibility of blackheads.
Ultrasonic cleansing.
This is an effective salon procedure performed using a special device. This method is non-traumatic compared to manual extraction, does not require a recovery period and does not lead to inflammation. Ultrasonic cleaning is often recommended for women with sensitive skin. During ultrasonic cleansing, not only the dermis is cleaned, but there is also an increase in the synthesis of elastin and collagen, improvement in local blood circulation and expansion of blood vessels. As a result, fine wrinkles are smoothed out, the overall condition improves and the skin’s tone and texture are evened out.
ABR cleansing.
ABR (Active Bio-Regeneration) cleaning is used to even out skin texture and treat inflammation. It is a superficial peeling that helps activate metabolism in the upper layers of the epithelium. As a result, the skin achieves a more uniform tone. The peeling actively stimulates the synthesis of elastin and collagen, which are responsible for maintaining skin firmness.
Phototherapy.
This is one of the most effective methods for skin cleansing, requiring a course of at least 10 sessions. The effects of phototherapy are noticeable immediately after the treatment courses, with blackheads diminishing, acne scars smoothing out and the skin acquiring a healthy appearance. The principle behind phototherapy equipment is that the light flash destroys the bacteria responsible for acne formation. The procedure is painless, making it suitable for people with a low pain threshold. After a course of phototherapy, it is recommended to avoiding beaches and tanning beds for a few weeks and to use sunscreen when going outside during the summer.
