It's so satisfying to pull out blackheads by the root! Is anyone still using pore strips?

Blackhead strips—stick on and peel off, the way they "remove blackheads" feels so satisfying!

 

What are blackheads, acne, and clogged pores?

Blackheads or acne are caused by blockages inside or around hair follicles. This is usually the formation of keratin and oil. Keratin is skin, dead skin cells, or possibly airborne micro-particles. The black color of a blackhead is not due to dirt; it is caused by oxidation. Some blackheads may be caused by dirt blockages, and sometimes they may be caused by the beauty products we use.
 
There are many ways to remove blackheads. We understand that many people cannot stand their existence. Sometimes, excessive cleaning can cause unnecessary sensitivity. A good facial cleansing routine and regular intensive care are essential. The truth is, blackheads will never disappear completely, but we can reduce their presence.
 
 

Blackhead strips are addictive and satisfying, but they may be harmful to the skin

 
Blackhead strips are undoubtedly very effective; the surface of the strip is coated with water-soluble adhesive. For example, polyvinyl alcohol is a synthetic polymer that acts as a film-forming agentused to adhere to/extract blackheads. When used, similar substances keep your pores in a taut state. When you peel off the blackhead strip, it pulls on the skin. This can lead to the rupture of superficial capillaries and severely irritate our skin!
 
Blackhead strips do more harm than good. You should avoid using them.
 
You can use a natural mineral clay mask for deep skin cleansing. It can also bring about good results!
