Rufus R. Noble A comedo is a clogged hair follicle (pore) in the skin. Keratin (skin debris) combines with oil to block the follicle. A comedo can be open (blackhead) or closed by skin (whitehead) and occur with or without acne. The word “comedo” comes from the Latin comedere, meaning “to eat up”, and was historically used to describe parasitic worms; in modern medical terminology, it is used to suggest the worm-like appearance of the expressed material.
The chronic inflammatory condition that usually includes comedones, inflamed papules, and pustules (pimples) is called acne. Infection causes inflammation and the development of pus. Whether a skin condition classifies as acne depends on the number of comedones and infection. Comedones should not be confused with sebaceous filaments.
You don’t want to look in the mirror and see a blackhead, or a whitehead. It can not only make your skin look unattractive, but it could also cause a pimple. If you want to have clear skin without these issues, follow this How to Remove Blackheads…
Comedo-type ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is not related to the skin conditions discussed here. DCIS is a noninvasive form of breast cancer, but comedo-type DCIS may be more aggressive, so may be more likely to become invasive.
Make sure to clean your face
You can start to eliminate blackheads by first using a cleanser. For this purpose, we recommend Pond’s Pure White Anti Pollution Skin Wash. It is made with activated carbon which absorbs impurities and reduces blemishes.
Steam is your best friend
Steam can open up pores and help to remove dirt and grime. It also improves blood circulation which can make your skin glow. Start by placing your face on the facial steamer for between 8-10 minutes. After this, massage your cheeks and nose to remove blackheads. You’ve been wanting to learn how you can remove blackheads? Make this part of your skin-care routine.
Take a scrub
To remove dead skin cells and promote a fresher appearance of your skin, use an exfoliating scrub. To get the best exfoliant, exfoliate in an upward circular motion. The St.Ives Fresh Face Apricot scrub is recommended as it has the ability to remove oil and dirt from your skin. It is rich in apricot oil, which soothes, protects, and energises the skin.
Always take off your makeup
A Makeup remover is one of the best ways to make sure that your skin doesn’t have any blackheads or whiteheads. To help your skin breathe through the night, remove all makeup and grime by the end the day. Use the Lakme Absolute bi-phased makeup remover to get rid of all the makeup and grime by the end of the day. This will allow your skin to breathe throughout the night.
Toner is a good choice
Toners can tighten pores. It also helps to remove any dirt or leftover grime. This is an important step if you have blackhead-prone skin. For best results, we recommend using the Lakme Absolute pore fix toner.
Make sure you moisturise
After steaming and scrubbing your skin, apply a moisturiser to moisturize it. The Lakme Absolute Radiance Skin Lightening Creme is non-greasy and contains micro crystals to remove any dullness.
