If you look closely at the face, there are black... disgusting blackheads, and... many whiteheads... on the chin.

Whitehead should not be left untreated, they say.

 

Whitehead sebum, causes of whiteheads, and removal methods.

 

Sebum is produced by our skin and is a necessary component, but if it becomes excessive, it can clog pores and lead to acne, whiteheads, pimples, and other skin issues.

 

Among them, whiteheads should not be left untreated.

 

 

What is the cause of Whitehead?

 

Whiteheads are caused by excessive sebum secretion and pore blockage due to dead skin cells, as well as residues from makeup and waste products.

Whiteheads trapped inside pores are difficult to extract, and forcibly removing them may leave scars.

 

If you neglect whiteheads on your chin, they can potentially develop into pustular acne.

 

So, how do we remove this problem?

Thoroughly perform cleansing. 

Open the pores with lukewarm water, then use an oil-free cleansing oil to roll for more than 3 minutes, massaging to loosen sebum, and then wash thoroughly.

Since they mainly appear on the forehead, nose, and chin, you should always be careful during cleansing to prevent them from spreading.

And then, use a cleanser or peeling agent to remove dead skin cells.

I recommend regular exfoliation using products that contain the same ingredients as AHA and BHA.
