What's going on gentlemen my name is Dominick Whelton for those who don't know and
today we're going to be covering one of the most annoying things to come across
our face and that is blackheads blackheads are so annoying is because
the three most common places for them to reside are on your forehead your nose
and your chin now if you're dealing with the pimple that's on the bottom of your
chin not a big deal because you can grow some facial hair you can cover it up
however if you're having a conversation with somebody and they're looking you
dead in the eyes it's going to be pretty obvious to see what you got going on
here here and here which can be pretty embarrassing so my goal today is to not
only make you an expert on blackheads but to also teach you how to prevent
them and how to treat them so that you can have clear and radiant skin all the
way through adulthood so to get started let's first talk about how blackheads
form both whiteheads and blackheads both form when debris dead skin cells and oil
clog up your pores the difference here is while whiteheads are trapped within a
closed pore blackheads are in an open pore that's exposed to air when this
happens and it's exposed to air the white build-up oxidizes and it turns
black which honestly is pretty disgusting now there's various factors
to what causes blackheads the first being our environment believe it or not
air pollution in addition to humidity has a huge effect on whether or not we
develop blackheads our lifestyle is also another huge factor those that smoke and
have a really poor diet are more likely to develop blackheads
now hormones in puberty is something nobody can escape you're just gonna have
to deal with it and ride that wave until you're through it however stress is one
of the leading causes of blackheads and that's why for the most part we see it
in our adulthood now we all know unfortunately there is no way to not go
through puberty and that is one of the leading factors towards developing acne
as we're growing up however stress is a main factor in keeping acne in
developing blackheads through our adulthood so although we can't fight
genetics or choose whether we're on the good or bad side of it the one thing we
can do is educate ourself about our skin and what causes breakouts and then
develop a plan of action and set a system in place to prevent acne and to
give ourselves the best fighting chance for clear or radiant skin now that we
know what blackheads are and what causes blackheads let's talk about how
can prevent them first things first you have to wash your face every single day
you should be washing your face in the morning and at night if you don't do
this right now please for the love of God I am begging you start today one of
the biggest reasons is because when you wake up in the morning you just spent
hopefully eight hours passed out on your pillow and that pillow had your face on
it the night before which means all the
bacteria and germs dirt and grime that you had the night before you put your
face on again and I know you guys don't wash your pillowcase every single day so
think about that if you don't want your pillowcase every day and you don't wash
your face you were then putting your face back on a dirty pillow and taking
with you all that dirt and grime and bacteria all of that bacteria all of
those germs the dirt the grime we are constantly putting on our face so if you
don't set yourself up in the morning with a solid clear foundation to give
your face the best possible chance of being healthy you are just adding to
that and you are setting yourself up for a lifetime of acne think about it like
this every single day we're shaking hands we're talking on our phone against
our face we have a tendency to touch our face we're touching door handles and
railings and all of the germs and bacteria dirt and grime we're just
adding on to our face so if you don't wash your face in the morning and give
it that clean start you're really going to be prone to developing more acne
throughout the day which is going to lead to larger pores which will then
break out to even more acne or some moral at this point here is wash your
face in the morning and at night at least twice a day for a healthy skincare
routine the next step in a healthy skin care routine is to moisturize Tiege Hanley
is great with this because they have an AM and PM. moisturizer the AM
has SPF 20 so when I go throughout my day not only is my skin moisturized but
I'm also protected from the sun and then at night after I wash my face for the
second time I apply the PM moisturizer to make sure that through my entire
eight hours hopefully of sleep my skin is hydrated the important thing to note
here is that 24-hour hydration throughout the entire day will help
prevent dry skin cracked skin and breakouts for those who are unfamiliar
you use an exfoliation scrub to get all of the dead skin cells off your face
that way your skin is radiant its hydrated and it's working well with the
other products your skincare routine exfoliating is
also great because it's a second chance to get all of the dirt that resides in
those dead skin cells off your face and last but not least please for the love
of God listen to me when I say do not as much as you want to do not pick at your
face it can be so hard to resist the urge to pick at our face especially if
we have a pimple or a blackhead we want to get rid of however the more you touch
your face the more you irritate it spread bacteria and spread oil which
then leads to further breakouts now if there's one thing you guys take
away from this video I want to be this in order to prevent blackheads and
future acne the most important thing you can do is set up a habit of taking care
of your skin even when you're tired and even when you're stressed washing our
face twice a day is not the funnest thing to do however acne isn't funny
there and to be honest I would rather wash my face twice a day than have to
deal with the insecurities that acne brings
Tiege Hanley's acne and skin care system makes developing and sticking to these
habits easy I've personally been using it myself over the last nine months and
I would say I've had pretty good results so far so if you guys want to learn more
