Blackheads are a common skin concern that can be frustrating and persistent. They appear as small, dark spots on the skin, often on the nose, chin, and forehead. With the right approach, you can rescue your skin from blackheads and achieve a clearer complexion.
Blackheads form when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. The open surface of the clogged pore oxidizes when exposed to air, turning black. Despite their appearance, blackheads are not caused by dirt but by the oxidation process.
