Skincare Myths Competition

A Skincare Myth regarding the removal of blackheads: Blackheads can be removed with vigorous scrubbing Why is this not entirely true? Blackheads are an overproduction of certain hormones. When a hormone is overproduced, they can cause an excess of oil produced within the skin. As a result, the oil and dead skin begin to clog a misshapen pore, helping to create what is known as a blackhead.  Certain scrubs can remove the surface layer of the blackhead, but they do not remove it entirely. What works on blackheads? Therefore, it is best to use a hydrating cleanser such as CeraVe hydrating cleanser designed to remove dirt, oil and makeup and refresh the skin without over-stripping it or leaving it feeling tight and dry. This hydrating cleanser effectively cleanses and hydrates without disrupting the skin’s natural barrier. It contains ingredients such as ceramides, which help maintain the skin’s natural barrier and hyaluronic acid , which helps to retain the skin’s natural moisture.  This cleanser not only cleans and hydrates skin but it also minimises pores giving it a more even texture. Say good-bye to blackheads.
