What to Know About Whiteheads and Blackheads

by Martha Fitzharris

Acne is the skin condition that impacts the greatest percentage of the world's population. The non-inflammatory acne forms of blackheads and whiteheads are generally the most common type of this widespread skin condition. This warrants them a detailed description on top of recommending which skin care cream is best for an effective facial skin care regimen.

Its Root Cause

Sebum, or skin oil, is naturally released by the sebaceous glands found underneath the surface of the skin. Under normal circumstances our skin will drain the excessive sebum all the way to the skin surface by route of its skin follicles, or pores. Such pathways that lead to the surface could at times get blocked. Any time this happens, the sebum can't travel through the follicles and it will become trapped. When the sebum is locked underneath the skin's surface, bacteria starts to grow. That blockage is known as a comedone, and it is the starting formula that then leads to the formation of either whiteheads or blackheads.

Whiteheads

Whiteheads develop in the form of comedones when the bacteria and trapped sebum rise up from just below the skin surface. Neither air nor oxygen can enter the skin to reach them. If that were possible, they would burn the substance off naturally and that would be that. Because the sebum cannot become oxidized, it remains white. Because they remain closed they are typically called as closed comedones. They generally resemble tiny white spots that could be small or even invisible to the naked eye.

Blackheads

Most likely to develop on people with oily skin, blackheads are a kind of acne referred to as open comedones. The microscopic opening that allows oxygen to enter the comedone is what oxidizes the skin cells and sebum and produces the blackish color. This opening is the main difference that separates it from a whitehead.

How to Treat Blackheads and Whiteheads

Our recommendation is to get a skin care product that works well with your skin. Washing two times a day using an organic skin care product is sufficient for anyone's face skin care regime.

BIOSKINCARE CREAM is a 100% pure, natural acne skin care cream that carries ingredients which are healing and restorative for all of the different skin types. It's a skin care cream made with the special ingredient of snail secretion. Snails have skin that share the same structural elements that the skin of humans contain. Snails emit this secretion to shield their skin from damaging oxygen radicals, solar UVA radiation and attacking microorganisms. An effective skin care product for removing non-inflammatory acne consists of this type of ingredient to rejuvenate your skin in addition to also making it blackhead and whitehead free.

Induce the reproduction of antimicrobial peptides on the surface of the skin and within the skin follicles contributing to control microbes.

Digest keratin plugs and debris and unblocks clogged pores allowing for the outflow of sebum to the surface where it lubricates and protects the skin instead of causing injuries to the cells lining the follicles and an inflammatory reaction of the body to repair the lesions.

Signal the immune system it is being taken care of and does not need to fire its immune responses and overly react to minor injuries thus avoiding the loss of tissues that characterizes deep acne scarring.

Prevent scarring and remove scars from accidental injuries and post surgery; stria marks; abnormal hypertrophic and keloid scars; keratosis pilaris; actinic keratosis scales by the breakdown abnormal, dysfunctional and damaged tissues into their amino acid components while stimulating their replacement with new healthy skin structures.

Vanish redness and dryness, relieves eczema and dermatitis, reduce psoriasis scales and most types of skin blemishes.

Repair skin damaged by glycolic peeling and other chemical peels, dermabrasion or laser resurfacing.

By strengthening the skin they relieve the dreaded side effects caused by retinoic drugs, Isotretinoin (Accutane),  that make the skin thinner while taken in to halt severe nodular cystic acne.

Reduce and heals skin fragility and is an antioxidant that helps to reduce the damaging effects on the dermis of sunburns and excess exposure to solar radiation.
