Blackheads & Blocked Pores

They form when open hair follicles become clogged. Every follicle contains a sebaceous gland and a single hair that produce oil called sebum. This oil helps to keep the skin soft but when dead skin cells and other oils collect in the open hair follicle it becomes blocked which causes bumps called comedones. If the bump stays closed a white head will form; if the bump opens and the air gets to it a blackhead will appear.

Although most people have blackheads, those with oilier skin are more prone to them. Blackheads usually start to appear after the onset of puberty when hormone levels change and increases skin secretion. Other contributing factor in the formation of blackheads as can be stress, body lotions and cosmetic products.

Although there is no direct link between certain food or drinks to blackheads, some research suggests that dairy products can trigger them among some people.
