We have all faced the challenge of blackheads, one of the most common skin concerns . Fortunately, due to their prevalence, there are numerous options available to treat them effectively.
Blackheads are actually clogged pores that appear larger than normal due to excess sebum inside them. When this sebum comes into contact with air, it oxidizes, acquiring that characteristic black color visible on the surface of the skin.
These blackheads usually appear in areas with a high concentration of sebaceous glands , such as the T zone of the face (forehead, nose and chin). Although they do not pose a serious health risk, they can be annoying and affect the appearance of the skin.
To combat these annoying black pores, it is essential to rely on three key pillars: exfoliation, double cleansing and hydration. Here we explain how each of these pillars can help you say goodbye to black pores once and for all.
- Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation is essential to remove dead skin cells that can clog pores and contribute to blackheads. Use gentle chemical exfoliants, such as those containing salicylic acid or glycolic acid, to dissolve excess sebum and unclog pores without causing irritation.
- Double Cleansing: The double cleansing technique involves first using an oil-based cleanser to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and fat-soluble impurities, followed by a water-based cleanser to remove sweat, dirt, and residue. remaining. This practice ensures that the skin is completely clean and the pores free of blockages that can lead to the formation of blackheads.
- Hydration: Keeping your skin well hydrated is crucial, even if you have oily skin. Using the right moisturizer helps balance sebum production, which can prevent clogged pores. Opt for non-comedogenic moisturizing products that do not aggravate the problem of blackheads.
By integrating these three pillars into your daily facial care routine, you will be on the right path to achieving cleaner, smoother, blackhead-free skin. Byoode offers a range of products specifically designed to assist in each of these essential steps, ensuring optimal results.
Exfoliation, the best antidote for black pores
All experts agree that the best way to avoid black pores is proper exfoliation. By exfoliating the skin, we manage to remove the layer of dead cells in which the pore can be seen more dilated and with more sebum. Furthermore, in this gesture, we can achieve much more than eliminating that layer of aged skin. If we exfoliate with hydroxy acids, they also tend to have an effect on the pore and help blackheads disappear and then make it more difficult to reappear.
Acids such as gluconolactone , in addition to removing the fat present in the pore, eliminating the blackhead, also help regulate sebum. By doing so, they allow us to produce less fat and, therefore, it takes longer to accumulate or even fails to do so. Regular exfoliation, whether chemical or physical, is essential to keep black pores at bay.
Exfoliate with Adzuki & Ragi Fantasy
You can find gluconolactone in Adzuki& Ragi Fantasy powder scrub. With the texture of fine sand and the color of a desert dune, it contains rice powder, adzuki and ragi bean flour, gluconolocactone (a polyhydroxy acid for gentle exfoliation) and phytic acid, which prevent it and reduce the production of melanin.
Double cleansing: the secret to skin free of black pores
The double cleansing technique is especially effective in combating black pores. This method consists of first using an oil-based cleaner and then a water-based one, thus ensuring a deep and complete cleaning.
Oil-based cleanser, such as Metamorphosis of Narcissus
This type of cleanser helps dissolve sebum, makeup, and impurities that build up on the skin's surface. By using a cleansing oil like Metamorphosis of Narcissus , we can effectively remove this residue without drying out the skin.
Water-based cleaner, such as Super Green Poem
After using the oil cleanser, it's the turn of the water cleanser, like Byoode's Super Green Poem . This step removes any oil residue and cleanses the pores more deeply , ensuring that the skin is completely clean and free of impurities. Super Green Poem is a cleansing gel with antioxidant power.
Double cleansing is particularly useful for those who have black pore problems, as it ensures a more effective and deeper cleansing.
Proper hydration to prevent black pores
The last pillar, but not least, is hydration . Keeping your skin well hydrated is crucial to prevent pores from becoming clogged with excess sebum. Dehydrated skin tends to produce more oil to compensate for the lack of moisture , which can lead to the formation of black pores.
Using a non-comedogenic moisturizer that does not clog pores and provides the right amount of moisture, such as Byoode's Lotus & Spirulina Romance , is ideal. This mousse-textured moisturizing cream is loaded with antioxidants from lotus, spirulina and broccoli, omega 3 and hyaluronic acid.
Saying goodbye to black pores and blackheads is possible if we follow these three fundamental pillars: exfoliation, double cleansing and hydration.
