Clean skin is the result of a proper lifestyle, balanced diet, and regular facial care. Not everyone can boast of a naturally healthy epidermis. Often black dots appear on the nose that affect the entire T-shaped area, including the forehead and chin. This problem requires a special approach and therapy. There are subtleties of squeezing open comedones and masks to eliminate blackheads.
Why do black dots appear?
The main reason for the formation of open comedones is considered to be the absence or non-adherence to basic skin care. According to all the rules, it is necessary to use cleansing foams or gels at least twice a day – 20 minutes after waking up in the morning and half an hour before going to bed. In addition, blackhead masks are applied, and directional scrubs are used (2-3 times a week).
Misuse of low-quality decorative cosmetics is considered to be another underlying reason. Foundation, powder, make-up base, blush, and other products will severely clog pores. The sebaceous glands begin to work at an accelerated rate, provoking blockages and the formation of blackheads.
At risk are people who are experiencing an imbalance in terms of hormonal levels. During menopause, menstruation, pregnancy, lactation and adolescence, the human body dramatically changes. Hormone surges provoke disturbances in the work of the sebaceous ducts.
Blackheads most often appear in owners of oily and mixed skin types. The problem is exacerbated in the summer, when the produced fat is mixed with dust, sweat and keratinized particles of the epidermis. In combination, the listed neoplasms are combined together and turn into a comedone.
Some categories of people suffer from blackheads on the nose due to genetic predisposition. Most often, the feature manifests itself on the face with enlarged pores, which quickly become dirty. In this case, to eliminate the cause, it is necessary to resort to hardware or invasive cosmetology, services are provided by beauty salons and medical centers.
Frequent exposure to stress alters the functioning of skin cells, tissues become denser, and the natural self-cleaning of the epidermis through the pores is hampered. After a short time, black dots appear. A similar situation is observed in the case of disruption of the endocrine system.
Often people who lead the wrong lifestyle suffer from open comedones on the nose. Smoking, abuse of alcoholic beverages and fatty foods leads to blockage of blood vessels. In the skin of the face, blood circulation is disturbed, moisture leaves, more fat is released.
