We all know a blackhead when we see one--it's that dark spot stubbornly stuck inside an enlarged pore. Although a blackhead looks like a large speck of black dirt, it has nothing to do with your skin being dirty.
Blackheads result primarily from the following:
◕ Hormones cause excess oil to be produced inside the pore, which prevents it from flowing naturally to the surface.
◕ The excess flow means that oil gets backed up, and then it mixes with built-up dead skin cells that cannot be shed normally.
◕ When this combination of too much oil and dead skin cells is exposed to air, it oxidizes and turns black.
