Blackheads are a common skincare concern, especially for those with oily or combination skin. These tiny, dark spots form when pores become clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and impurities. While they may seem harmless, blackheads can lead to larger breakouts if not addressed properly. Let's explore effective and gentle ways to remove blackheads and prevent their return using Cathy Doll products.
Understanding Blackheads
Blackheads, or open comedones, occur when a clogged pore remains open, allowing the trapped material to oxidize and turn dark. They often appear on the nose, chin, and forehead the T-zone. Factors like excess oil production, hormonal changes, and the use of comedogenic (pore-clogging) skincare products can contribute to their formation.
