Causes of keratin plugs
Excessive sebum secretion
Your skin protects itself by secreting a lipid called sebum. However, excessive sebum secretion can easily clog pores. The sebaceous glands are particularly active around the nose, making it a place where blackheads are likely to form. When sebum clogs pores, white blackheads form. These are white plugs that appear when sebum and dead skin cells get stuck in the pores and do not oxidize. Excessive sebum secretion is one of the main causes of blackheads.
Dry skin
Dry skin makes it easier for keratin plugs to form. Dry skin tries to compensate for moisture by secreting excess sebum. This excess sebum mixes with old keratin to form keratin plugs. In addition, dry skin is prone to disruption of cell turnover, making it easier for old keratin to remain on the skin's surface. This makes pores more likely to become clogged, increasing the likelihood of keratin plugs forming.
Disturbance in turnover
Skin turnover is a cycle in which old keratin is replaced by new skin. However, if this cycle is disrupted due to stress, lack of sleep, or improper skin care, old keratin will accumulate on the skin. This accumulated keratin clogs pores and mixes with sebum to form keratin plugs. Disruption in turnover is a factor that promotes the development of keratin plugs.
Key point : To prevent keratin plugs, it is important to control sebum, moisturize properly, and normalize cell turnover. Be mindful of these points when doing skin care.
Daily care methods to prevent blackheads on the nose
How to easily remove blackheads from your nose
The correct way to wash your face
Washing your face every day is the basis for preventing blackheads on your nose. First, moisten your face with lukewarm water and gently lather up your face wash. Using the foam, gently wash your face in circular motions with the pads of your fingers. Be especially careful around the nose, as sebum tends to accumulate there. After washing your face, rinse thoroughly with cold water to tighten your pores. This will prevent blackheads from forming.
Choosing the right cleanser
Choosing the right facial cleanser is also important. By choosing a highly moisturizing facial cleanser, you can prevent your skin from drying out. Dryness can cause excess sebum production, which can lead to blackheads. Facial cleansers that contain glycolic acid or salicylic acid soften the keratin, making it easier to remove blackheads. By choosing a facial cleanser that contains these ingredients, you can easily remove blackheads from your nose.
The importance of moisturizing
Use the right moisturizer
Moisturizing after washing your face is essential to keep your skin healthy. Using the right moisturizing products will help retain moisture in your skin and prevent it from drying out. After preparing your skin with toner, use lotion or cream to lock in moisture. This will strengthen your skin's barrier function and prevent the recurrence of blackheads.
Lifestyle changes
Balanced diet
Diet has a big impact on the condition of your skin. Eating foods rich in vitamins and minerals will help support healthy skin. Vitamins A and E in particular promote skin turnover and prevent the formation of keratin plugs.
Adequate sleep
Sleep is very important for skin regeneration. Getting enough sleep ensures that skin turnover is normal and removes dead skin cells that cause blackheads. Try to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night.
Hydration
Don't forget to stay hydrated. If your body is dehydrated, your skin will dry out and become more susceptible to blackheads. Drinking about 2 liters of water a day will help keep your skin moisturized.
Tip : By taking care of your skin daily and doing it the right way, you can prevent blackheads from forming on your nose and maintain beautiful skin.
Using Funny Elves 3D Soft Focus Powder
How to softly hide pores
To make your skin look beautiful, it is important to make pores less noticeable. Funny Elves 3D Soft Focus Powder can softly hide pores. This powder is made of fine powder of 2500 mesh, and gives the skin a thin veil-like finish. It is easy to use. Take an appropriate amount on a sponge and spread it from the center of the face outwards. For areas where pores are particularly noticeable, lightly pat it to cover them more effectively.
Point : 3D Soft Focus Powder is gentle on the skin and can be used safely even by those with sensitive skin. It hides pores while still maintaining a natural finish.
The importance of sebum control
Sebum control is essential to prevent keratin plugs. Excess sebum clogs pores and causes keratin plugs. 3D Soft Focus Powder uses double high oil absorption powder, which locks in sebum with 3 to 5 times the usual oil absorption power. This prevents shine and crumbling, and keeps the finish flawless for a long time.
Tip : By focusing on skin care that controls sebum production, you can prevent the formation of blackheads and maintain beautiful skin. It is also important to use a facial cleanser and basic skin care products regularly.
Prohibited behavior
Push out the plugs
When you push blackheads out, it can be very damaging to your skin. Pushing blackheads out with your fingers or nails can widen your pores and cause further inflammation. This can lead to redness and bruising of the skin. The act of physically pushing blackheads out should be avoided as it can damage the skin's barrier function. Instead, opt for natural methods to remove blackheads with proper skin care.
Scrub
Rubbing your face too hard when washing it is very harmful to your skin. Strong friction can damage the surface of your skin, causing dryness and inflammation. It is especially important to wash gently around the nose, as this is a delicate area. By lathering your face wash well and washing gently with the pads of your fingers, you can remove dirt without putting strain on your skin. To protect your skin, be sure to moisturize thoroughly after washing your face.
Tip : To protect your skin, you need to take good care of it. By taking care of your skin in the right way, you can prevent blackheads and keep your skin beautiful.
Proper daily care is essential to prevent blackheads on the nose. By paying attention to the correct face washing method and moisturizing, you can keep your skin healthy and beautiful. As Takeda-san 's experience shows, scrubbing or forcibly removing blackheads can put a strain on the skin and cause problems. By using Funny Elves' 3D Soft Focus Powder , your daily care will be more effective and you can softly hide your pores.
