How To Remove Blackheads with Hydrogen Peroxide in 5 Easy Steps

Hey girls!

Today I am going to talk about something most of us find really annoying – blackheads, a very common skin problem. They occur when your pores become clogged with excess sebum and dead skin cells. The difference between a blackhead and a whitehead is simply whether the pore is open or not. If the pore is open, the plug of sebum/skin cells oxidizes with the oxygen in the air, which turns it black. Blackheads are not caused by dirt. Excess scrubbing would actually make the blackheads worse and you would end up making your skin dry.
