What is a blackhead?
Also known as an "open comedone", a blackhead is essentially a greasy accumulation lodged within the skin's pores, which oxidises upon contact with air, thereby taking on a black colour. These protrusions are primarily located in the T-zone of the face : on and around the nose, on the forehead, and on the chin, an area where the skin is particularly oily. They appear when the pores dilate, especially following excessive sebum production. These pores then become blocked by a mixture of sebum, impurities, and dead cells, and blackheads make their appearance. Moreover, if a blackhead becomes infected, it can develop into pimples.
Some natural solutions for eliminating blackheads.
It is entirely possible to combat blackheads using products made from natural ingredients. Today, on the internet, you can find all sorts of homemade recipes to unclog pores and exfoliate dead skin. However, the use of these ingredients on your skin can prove to be irritating, harsh, and drying: lemon, baking soda, toothpaste, etc...
To combat blackheads, Typology offers a purifying skincare pack to restore a smooth and regular skin texture. This skincare set is specifically designed to treat blackheads, comedones, and enlarged pores. You can find natural products in this facial routine such as:
the purifying cleansing care withnettle allows for effective yet gentle skin cleansing without causing irritation. Moreover, the active ingredients it contains also help to regulate sebum production, tighten pores, soothe and repair weakened skin.
the exfoliating serum with glycolic acid or the gentle peeling serum with lactic acid which allows for gentle skin exfoliation, unclogging of pores, and restoration of skin radiance. Indeed, these two chemical substances facilitate the removal of dead surface cells.
the purifying mask that helps to regulate sebum production, minimise the appearance of pores, combat blemishes and cleanse the skin. This is achieved through the inclusion of nettle for its sebum-regulating and anti-inflammatory properties, pine charcoal for its mattifying/absorbent virtues, and green clay for its purifying and healing properties.
the purifying night serum with peony that helps to purify the skin through the sebum-regulating, purifying and anti-inflammatory actions of 7 botanical extracts.
