NEUTROGENA BLACKHEAD ELIMINATING DAILY SCRUB REVIEW

Hello Guys!! I hope you are safe and doing well..

As days are passing, we are trying to adapt to a newer lifestyle which majorly involves "SOCIAL DISTANCING". But wait, social distancing just means keeping your distance from   other fellow human beings. But why are we social distancing with our skin problems too? In reality ,this quarantine has made us lazy (if not all, but most of us have become lazy). So let’s pull up our socks and get started!!

 

So today in this post ,I am going to talk about a major problem which all of us face – BLACKHEADS.

Don’t you get irritated seeing those black spots on your nose? Don’t you feel like poking them out?

Having blackheads on the face is similar to having speed bumpers on the road. It gives an unpleasant experience. Well at least speed bumpers have a significant use unlike our blackheads. Jokes aside,let us start with what blackhead is ,its causes ,how you can get rid of them…

 

What are blackheads ?

Blackheads are tiny bumps that appear on your skin especially on nose. Well they can come on any part of your face or neck or chest. Blackheads are caused when your skin pores get occupied with dead skin cells and sebum(it is an oily substance produced by our sebaceous gland).

Causes of blackhead :

·         The blocking of skin pores because of comedogenic products.

·         Stress

·         High humidity

·         Heavy perspiration.
