Today we're talking about how to get rid of blackheads and whiteheads. Those
pesky little things that are on your face. So the difference between you two
is, they are not the same. Blackheads, people think that the black material
inside the blackhead is dirt. It is not dirt. It is actually oxidized oil. So, the
comedone is actually open. So, typically what happens is, if you are not
exfoliating, then what happens is the oil inside the pores, they can't come up onto
your skin. So it gets trapped inside the pore but the pore is open. And so the old,
the oil is oxidized and that's why it turns black. Whiteheads are, basically the
oil gets trapped inside the pore and the dead skin cells cover it on the top of
the skin, so the oil can't get up. So it's not oxidized, it is not exposed to oxygen.
So therefore, it is a whitehead. Sometimes when people extract a ,whitehead it's
clear fluid, which is the oil. Other times it's fluid, it's fluid as
well as dead white blood cells and bacteria.
So, the way that you treat the blackhead and the whitehead is through
EXFOLIATION. And the reason why is, because both blackheads and whiteheads
are typically not primarily caused by the Acne-causing bacteria. It is a
DESQUAMATION issue. And desquamation means "skin cell turnover rate". So if you
are breakout-prone, and you are not, and/or you're not exfoliating, that means
your desquamation rate is TOO SLOW. So you need exfoliation, which is a
little bit of help to get rid of the dead skin cells. So once you get that off
the top layer of your skin, the oil that's in your pore can freely go on top
of the skin. Now, here are some tips to get rid of blackheads and whiteheads. So
the first one is, if you have a lot of blackheads and whiteheads and
you want to address them QUICKLY, I recommend, personally, that you go see a
professional Esthetician and get an exfoliating facial. That way, one, you get
extra time for extractions -- and when they do a professional extractions, here are
the things that they do that you can't do at home: What they do is, they can put
on a SCALING FLUID. What that does is, it starts to break down the hardened sebum
and they put your face under the steam. And if they have a machine,
it's called the BT Micro, and they put it on negative ion, negative ion, it's a
process called "DESINCRUSTATION". So basically, when they do that, negative ion
in chemistry pulls up, so it acts like a magnet. So
what it's basically doing is, it's prepping the skin. It's softening the
hardened sebum that's caught in your pores, that way extractions are, one, not
as painful and more effective in getting a lot of the material outside of your
pores. So if you do an exfoliating facial and you do extractions -- The other
one is, the license skincare professional, based on what you put on the client
consultation form, and if they have a Dermascope and they can put your skin
underneath that special light, they can actually see how much hardened sebum
that you have because it's looking at underneath of what is going on. That way,
based on what you, the information that you give to your Esthetician, can tell
you the best protocol to follow, and give home care, and give recommendations on
products. Now, these products are typically stronger than over-the-counter.
That's why you need a license to be able to dispense them. So, it's the same way
that if you go to a pharmacy, you can get aspirin at the regular drugstore. But if
you want a stronger painkiller, like Vicodin,
you actually have to get a licensed professional, such as a Pharmacist, to
dispense that to you. So it's the same thing. So that's one of the ways that you
can address blackheads and whiteheads. If you have more
severe bumps on your face, which is called "CONGESTION", then the Esthetician may
recommend an Acid Peel on your face. Now, here are some tips about that. This
is a great time to do it. So if you're watching this, and it's Winter time, that
is the best time to do it. I would try to schedule it in the evening, so that when
you go home you are not exposed to any type of Sun, and that they would
recommend how you would do a Acid Peel. So the first thing is, if they are pretty
experienced, they're going to recommend a pre-treatment
protocol. This is going to prep your skin for the low pH that your skin is going
to go into for the peel. So you would do this 7-10 days BEFORE your
appointment. Then by the time you get to your appointment, your skin can tolerate
a lower pH. Then they'll offer you a post-treatment which helps recover the skin
so that you don't, one, peel as much, and so therefore, for some people will not
scar. I'm not saying that everybody scars, but for some people they may have a
little bit of superficial darkening or hyperpigmentation. So there are different
types of peels, I do NOT recommend that you do them at home.
Do not do them, because what can happen is, now because you're inexperienced, you
will end up getting Glycolic Acid burns. And the most typical ones that I see
when people do them is, they get them in the crevices where their nasolabial fold
is, and in the creases of their neck. So make sure that you do this with an
experienced Esthetician. If you want to find out more about exfoliation, we do
have a video that's called "The Three Different Types of Exfoliation and the
BEST Way to Exfoliate Your Skin", we do have that video. And if you want to find
out more about Acid Peels before going to make an appointment with an
Esthetician, we have another video on "Find Out the BEST Type of Acid Peels and
Which Ones are Best for YOUR Skin" right over here.
