WHITEHEAD REMOVING SCRUBS FOR WOMEN
If wrinkles, fine lines and blackheads weren’t enough, there is another skin condition, that appear as spruced up white spots on the skin, that is simply unflattering and can literally ruin one’s self confidence. Well, if the clue wasn’t enough, it is Whiteheads, we are talking about, the long-lost troublesome cousin of blackheads. Whiteheads are actually comedones, a type of acne just like blackheads that usually occur when dead skin cells, sebum, grime, and/or bacteria gets trapped under the surface of the skin while appearing as small bumps. With no air to reach as in the case of blackheads, these spots do not oxidize and simply stay white or yellowish-white throughout. While some of them only appear for a short time period, generally during adolescence, others plague you consistently throughout adulthood and even in the mature ages. What Causes Whiteheads? Whiteheads chiefly occur due to entrapment of sebum within the first layer of the skin. But there are several factors that attribute towards clogging of facial pores. These include: • Hormonal changes during puberty • Excessive secretion of sebum • High levels of humidity in the environment • Sweating • Use of certain cosmetics or products • Consumption of junk and oily foods • Genetic history of black and whiteheads
