What is a blackhead
exactly? And why are they black? Is it dirt?
No. It’s not dirt. If you have blackheads, it does not mean you
have a dirty face. And it certainly doesn't mean scrubbing the hell out of your face is going to do one bit of good.
Exactly what is a blackhead?
A
blackhead is an impaction made up of various oils and waxes made by your skin,
mixed with skin cells that have died and have dislodged from the very top layer
of your epidermis. The same top layer
that makes up the surface of your skin lines your pores as well.
