I have had the habit of squeezing blackheads since junior high school and continued until college. Now my nose has become much larger. Not only are there blackheads, but there are also patches of melanin deposits, which are very ugly. What should I do if my nose becomes enlarged by squeezing blackheads?
1. Wrong ways to remove blackheads
1. Squeeze with hands
Many people say that blackheads need to be squeezed to remove, and they will see yellow grease. When the grains are squeezed out, I feel very sour and refreshed. However, squeezing with hands will seriously damage the skin and connective tissue. Some people will leave pits after squeezing, making the pores and noses bigger and bigger, etc. It is all due to this reason. At the same time, bacteria in the nails can cause skin inflammation and make the nose red and swollen.
2. Rub with a brush
There was once a video of "correct blackhead removal" that went viral on the Internet. In the video, a girl smeared toothpaste on her nose and then used a toothbrush. It is very wrong to brush the entire nose. The skin on your face is so delicate, how can you use a toothbrush to exfoliate it? Although the effect was great at the time, it actually damaged the stratum corneum of the skin and more skin problems would occur.
2. How to remove blackheads correctly
Enlarged pores and excessive oil secretion are the culprits of blackheads. Therefore, paying more attention when washing your face can effectively relieve blackheads. Add a few drops of lemon juice to the water you wash your face with. Be careful not to make the concentration too high. It can help gently exfoliate your face and shrink pores at the same time. You can also use green tea water to wash your face. The polyphenols in green tea can help calm the skin and have a good therapeutic effect on inflammation, redness and swelling. When washing your face, you can massage the tip and wings of your nose in a circular motion to wash out the dirt to the greatest extent.
