Where do "black dots" come from and should they be combated? 5 5 2

Today the world is too carried away by the pursuit of smooth skin - it seems that there is always a reason to worry. We more or less imagine what to do with acne, unsystematic inflammation or dryness - but about the mysterious "black spots" it just makes sense to talk separately. We understand what phenomena are hidden under this general name and what skin condition is considered healthy.   1. What is a black dot? As a rule, "black dots" are two related types of formations: open comedones (" blackheads ", non-inflammatory elements of acne) and the so-called sebaceous filaments , for which it is difficult to pick up a sane synonym in Russian (except for a cacophonous "greasy thread"). And with that, and with the other face owners of oily skin, which often have enlarged pores - this is an absolutely natural feature of the structure, "fight" with which it is hardly worth it. 2. How are comedones formed? Comedones, and closed white, and those most open "black dots", are formed due to improper functioning of the skin, and although they themselves are not dangerous - but for the reasons for their occurrence is worth following. The main problem is that the skin begins to produce too much sebum: this can be due to malnutrition, insufficient or, on the contrary, excessive cleansing, and also because of the use of comedogenic cosmetics. In any case, to bring the production of sebum to a stable regime, you will have to consult a beautician who will prescribe the appropriate kind of cleansing and will tell you how often and how you need to conduct home procedures. By the way, black dots are not dirt in the literal sense of the word, but a visible accumulation of melanin in a cork. 3. Expanded pores Read also: How to narrow the pores on the face: 10 effective tips Information about the notorious sebaceous filaments will have to be looked for separately. The difference is fundamental: they do not refer to skin diseases, but many are found. Unfortunately, due to lack of awareness, they are often considered to be special needs, although the best solution in this case is to calm down and not to touch. Our skin under normal conditions sebum constantly, and therefore in the hair follicles of delicate skin almost always contains a certain amount, mixed with keratinized cells and bacteria. To distinguish these normal for fatty areas of the skin of education from comedones is easy with the naked eye: these are points not of black, but of gray or light color, slightly darker than the natural shade of the skin. In the expanded pores, they are simply better seen, and this is absolutely not worth the experience and waste of time and energy. 4. How to clean the pores? 5 things to note about: Natural cosmetics for skin youth If you have good reasons why you want to make your skin perfectly smooth, deep cleaning, mechanical or with salicylic acid, will help you for a short time. From one to several weeks, the pores will indeed remain empty, but gradually return to their normal state. Very often it is not worth cleaning. In addition, the kind of clean, but nevertheless expanded pores in the end is not liked by everyone. The choice in favor of aggressive cleansers for home care will do more harm, because a small overabundance of sebum has a positive effect - the skin thus itself provides protection. Regular overdrying will provoke an even more intense sebum secretion, which already lies in the area of ​​health, not beauty. Instead of means that are labeled as "seboreguliruyuschie", it is better to choose cosmetics with acids and apply it in courses, or, if it is more comfortable, choose lotions and masks with a lower content of active substances for regular use.   5. How to hide the "black dots"? After the "expanded" and "clogged" pores gradually moved into the category of illegal skin characteristics, a huge number of products appeared on the beauty market, which purposefully solved these "problems". Divide all the promises of the manufacturers into two: yes, some of them do work, but the effect disappears without a trace, once you stop using them. In most cases, these are all the same ordinary cleansers without special effects, but with a claim. Quick solutions can be found in the ranks of decorative cosmetics: a variety of "grouts for pores" and leveling primers today are not only among Korean manufacturers. Their main ingredients are silicones cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone, whose tasks are to "fill" pores and matting the skin. Wow effect of such a means to wait hard, but if you still decide, choose Asian tubes Etude House or TonyMoly . In the end, if they do not do a miracle (which is more likely), then as a base for make-up work fine. 6. Correction tools Translucent "black dots" on the nose and chin, if desired, are easily masked with tonal means: neither oily, nor dry nor normal skin is recommended the constant use of dense creams, so take not quantity but quality. For oily skin, moisturizing fluids are optimal, and evenly placed and closely matched to the skin in color tone adds to the "ideal" face much more than the masked pores. For a more serious covering, you do not need to carry the favorite remedy over the skin, but to drive it with the help of sponge - so you will get the desired effect of "filling". But the main advice that can be given when it comes to "flaws" is the following: the only option for an ideal skin is the skin is healthy. Turning yourself into an ophotized version of yourself is an unreasonably long and difficult journey. It is much more useful to understand this than to get involved in a dubious struggle with far-fetched imperfections.
