For those who are worried about blackheads

Blackened pores are always ranked high on the list of skin concerns.
It is a skin problem that does not improve easily, and many people have suffered from it for many years.

What is the true nature of blackheads?

It is an oxidized keratin plug.

What is a keratin plug?

A mixture of keratin and sebum.

As the skin turns over, old keratin flakes off, but the remaining keratin mixes with sebum and becomes "keratin plugs" that clog pores.

Causes of clogged pores

1. Excessive sebum secretion

2. Disrupted turnover

Newly formed keratin plugs are white in color, but turn black when oxidized.

Can you remove blackheads with a peel-off mask?

Unfortunately, if you try to remove it forcefully, you could damage your skin and cause inflammation, as well as remove the dead skin cells and sebum that are essential to the skin.

Inflammation promotes keratinization, making pores more prone to clogging, and removing necessary sebum can also stimulate further sebum secretion.

How can I get rid of blackheads?

Corneal plugs are made up of sebum and protein.
You have to approach each stain individually.

・Plant-based oil cleansing → Removes sebum
・Enzyme facial cleanser → Removes protein

After washing your face, we recommend using Vitamin C or BHA for skin care.
Vitamin A is also good for boosting skin metabolism!
It is also recommended to take vitamin B supplements (to suppress sebum secretion) and vitamin E (to remove active oxygen).

Other measures to prevent dark pores

・Take measures against UV rays.
- Avoid irritation to the skin as much as possible.
- If makeup is not completely removed, it will oxidize and cause darkening, so be sure to remove your makeup carefully.
・Do not wash your face too much. Removing the sebum your skin needs can lead to increased sebum production.
- Don't consume too much animal fat.
Get vitamins B and E from your diet.
- Adjust your lifestyle cycle to normalize cell turnover.

There are many different causes of blackheads, depending on your skin type and lifestyle.
Even with proper care, it takes time for blackheads to change.
