Q: Why do I still have blackheads even though I wash my face three times a day?
A: Although blackheads may look like dirt spots, they are
actually pores filled with oil deposits and dead skin cells. Because blackheads
actually occur below the skin's surface, no amount of scrubbing your face will
get rid of them. If you have got just a few here and there, try the
Noevir Herbal Skincare (NHS)
line that contains Mytilus Glycogen to revitalize the epidermis. This line also
contains Linden and Sage extracts to smooth, soften and exfoliate dead skin
cells to minimize future buildup and which helps to reveal healthy, glowing
skin.
Exfoliation is a vital step in a regular skincare routine to
refine skin's texture and thoroughly remove excess oil or particles trapped
within the skin's epidermis. To exfoliate the skin and prevent future breakouts,
try Noevir's
Cleansing Crystals
2-3 times a week in place of your facial-cleanser/foaming-cleanser. These
nonabrasive cleansing crystals contain various enzymes to digest protein and
dissolve excess oil to leave your skin looking radiant.
Regular masking is also important because it removes dead skin
cells and imbedded impurities that accumulate on the skin. If not removed
regularly, these accumulations will prevent newer, brighter cells from surfacing
and cause your skin to look dull and uneven. It can also clog pores, leading to
blackheads and whiteheads. To help your skin look its best and maintain a
healthy glow, it is therefore important to mask two to three times per week. Try
Noevir's
Hydrating Peel Off Masque if your skin is
normal-to-dry, or the deep cleansing
Clay Masque if you have normal-to-oily skin.
If you have got a deeper problem, and your blackheads are too
firmly embedded to be opened up by topically applied products, see your
dermatologist.
Wash your face only twice a day; excessive cleansing can strip
skin of its natural oils, triggering more oil production and more blackheads.
