The use of alcohol products is not effective in removing blackheads. Although alcohol can have some bactericidal and disinfecting effects, it is not an ideal solution to deal with blackheads. Here are some of the reasons:
Alcohol may cause dryness and irritation: Alcohol has a degreasing and dehydrating effect, depriving you of your natural oils and moisture, resulting in adverse reactions such as dryness, tightness, redness, and irritation. Such irritation may exacerbate blackheads, as over-drying** stimulates the sebaceous glands to produce more oil, which can clog pores.
Alcohol doesn't deeply clean pores: Blackheads are formed due to clogged oil and keratin in the pores. Alcohol can only cleanse the surface and cannot penetrate deep into the pores to remove the root cause, so it does not work for the complete removal of blackheads.
Alcohol can break the barrier: The barrier is an important barrier to protect from external stimuli and bacteria. Excessive use of alcohol products can disrupt the barrier, leading to more sensitivity and vulnerability, which in turn can lead to infection and inflammation.
Here are some more effective and safe ways to deal with blackheads:
Gentle Cleansing: Use a gentle cleanser to thoroughly cleanse your face** to remove excess oil and dirt. Choose a cleanser or soap that doesn't contain harsh ingredients, and avoid scrubs to avoid overstimulation**.
Exfoliation: Use a gentle exfoliator regularly to help remove dead skin cells and prevent clogged pores. But be careful not to over-exfoliate so as not to damage the barrier.
Use blackhead removal products: You can choose specialized products for blackheads, such as blackhead removal products that contain ingredients such as salicylic acid, fruit acid, tea tree oil, etc. These ingredients gently dissolve oil and keratin, helping to improve blackheads.
Steaming your face: Steaming your face regularly can open up your pores and make cleansing more thorough. Please control the time and temperature of steaming your face to avoid overstimulation**.
Blackhead Extraction: After steaming, use a specialized blackhead extraction product or tool to gently massage the blackhead area to encourage the blackhead to rise to the pores, then wash it off with warm water.
Develop good eating and Xi: Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables and antioxidant-rich foods, get enough sleep and exercise moderately, all of which can help improve skin condition.
If blackheads are severe or last for a long time, it is advisable to consult a professional doctor or beautician for a more precise diagnosis and treatment.
