There’s no denying that sodium bicarbonate has many benefits, but when it comes to using it to care for your skin, it’s really not the best ingredient\u2026 Absolution tells you why, and suggests some more gentle, effective solutions to banish those pesky blackheads!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

Blackheads appear when pores in your skin get clogged. Each pore contains a follicle, which consists of a hair and a sebaceous gland. The latter produces sebum \u2013 an oily substance that helps to keep skin hydrated. But sometimes, dead cells and sebum build up in the opening of the hair follicle, resulting in a clogged pore \u2013 or “comedo.” If the comedo remains closed, it’s called a whitehead. On the other hand, if it opens and is exposed to air, it becomes oxidized and turns black, forming a blackhead. Blackheads usually occur on the face, but they can also appear on other parts of the body, such as the back, chest, neck and shoulders. The factors listed below can contribute to blackheads.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n
