Blackheads
What Are Blackheads?
Blackheads are small dark bumps that appear on the skin, usually on the face, caused by clogged hair follicles.
They form when a pore becomes blocked with oil and dead skin cells.
When exposed to air, the contents oxidise and turn black.
While blackheads aren’t harmful, they can be persistent and frustrating, often affecting skin texture and clarity.

What Are the Symptoms of Blackheads?
The most common sign of blackheads is the appearance of tiny dark spots, particularly around the nose, chin, and forehead.
The skin may feel rough, and pores can appear enlarged or congested.
Unlike pimples, blackheads aren’t inflamed, but they can be stubborn and return frequently without proper skincare or treatment.
