Have you been
troubled by any of the above skin flaws?
If you do,
you are about to discover lots of useful practical tips that are worth
a pot of gold and which are not available anywhere
Well,
some might say "I have no blackheads", while others may say "I'm not
bothered with it at all". And for those who are troubled by these problems,
they may actually escalate it by seeking the conventional method of
squeezing and scraping with a metal comedon extractor.
Before
you make your next move, whether to do nothing or to go for another
squeezing session, read on with this article and you'll be wiser.
"Blackheads"
is a common layman's term which refers to plugs of hardened waxes that
have clogged the pores and that are visible to the eyes. They are often
associated with acne, and appear black at the tips due either to oxidation
or to environmental dirt overlaying them.
When
it is squeezed out, only the tip of the head is black(or grey), but
the rest is light beige in colour. However, many of these hardened plugs
of waxes may not appear to be black at all at the tips, and yet they
can pose similar threats to the skin like their "black" counterparts.
Medically,
it is known as comedo, comedos, or comedones. It is not a skin disease
by itself, although it often leads to Rosacea and Acne Vulgaris if not
promptly treated. Almost everyone, male and female, has comedones, but
in varying degrees. It can be largely prevented or removed but cannot
be completely stopped. Oily skins (especially Seborrhoic conditions)
are more prone to having comedones than dry skins, but dry skins are
not spared of the comedones problem.
The
main constituents that form comedones are: hardened sebaceous secretion,
surface dead cells, salt (from sweat), waste, bacteria, dirt. For those
using makeup and/or skin care products, the constituents may include
fats (animal or vegetable), waxes, and colored pigments (iron oxides),
except non-comedogenic formulations.
Formation
Process of Comedones
There
are about 3,000,000 cells, 100 sweat pores and 30 sebaceous glands AND
hair pores per square centimeter of skin. The sweat pores excrete sweat,
water, waste, and salt through the sweat ducts while also regulating
body temperature.
The
hair pores secrete sebaceous secretions through the gland (oil) ducts
to lubricate the hairs and at the same time emulsify themselves with
sweat water to form a protective barrier known as Sebum Film. This creamy
film helps bond the surface dead cells together, otherwise the surface
cells will appear loose and give a mouldy appearance like in cases of
very dry and dehydrated skins.
When
oil, sweat, water, and surface dead cells are well balanced and well
mixed, together they form a layer of natural translucent foundation
cream that gives skin a healthy tone and supple look.
However,
this ideal condition won't last long as water from the sweat will soon
evaporate, leaving the remaining solid constituents behind which quickly
harden into plugs of wax and block the outward flow of sebum to the
surface, through the follicles and sebaceous ducts.
The
retained sebum accumulates and increases in amount, and the external
area hardens further and becomes overlaid with stale cells to form comedones.
If the condition is not properly treated, the sebaceous ducts and hair
follicles will become enlarged, and the skin becomes more coarse, with
open pores being evident. This is an ongoing natural process on every
person's skin and cannot be stopped unless a person dies.
Moreover,
in today's polluted industrial environment and hectic lifestyle, our
skin is flexed and stretched, and as such, an ideal condition is almost
impossible.
Seborrhoea
Seborrhoea
is a condition of overactivity of the sebaceous glands, leading to excessive
secretions and abnormal oiliness of the skin's surface. The high density
of sebaceous glands in the face, scalp, centre of the chest, and back
causes the seborrhoeic condition, and as such, comedones, are most evident
in these areas.
Teenagers
have the highest cases of seborrhoea. When they reach puberty, hormonal
changes increase the gland activity, and secretion becomes excessive.
Seborrhoea, and also comedones, are the basis of several skin diseases,
particularly Acne Vulgaris.
Conventional Methods of Removing Comedones
a)
Squeezing with fingers
b) Squeezing with a metal comedone extractor
c) Suction with a vacuum tube
Except
for (c), both (a) and (b) methods are painful and will leave scars,
often permanently. When the skin is ruptured by these harsh treatment
methods, it will become septic and will develop acnes.
Method
(c), however, can cause broken capillary conditions and is also not
very effective. Only the very superficial dead cells and dirt may be
sucked away, leaving the condition with no evident improvement.
Use of Skin Care
Cleansers and Scrubs
There
are many Skin Care cleansers and scrubs available in the marketplace,
but apart from removing only surface dirt, some makeup, and dead surface
cells, none can actually remove blackheads, as evidenced by the fact
that despite whatever form of cleansers and scrubs one uses, it is still
necessary for the aesthetician to physically remove comedones by one
of the conventional methods described above. Worse still, most cleansers
even deposit some amount of wax content onto the skin and into the pores
after each application. Most cleansers, like most other day or night
creams are made form standard formulations provided free by chemical
suppliers of the Skin Care company, and such formulations contain high
wax contents. Moreover, most conventional scrubs contain coarse and
sharp-edged grounded almond husk grains, sea-shells or pumice stones
in harsh alkaline soap bases, as shown on the Left image below:
The coarse
grains will only damage the skin more by producing multiple cut lines
on the surface skin, like the sand-paper efect on a piece of wood, thus
causing skin to rupture. The harsh alkaline soap base will also cause
skin to rupture by its dehydrating action. When skin dehydrates, the
dead cells are no longer bonded together by the sebum ( the natural
emulsion created by skin's natural oil secretions and sweat excretions
) to form that vital protective acid mantle layer. They separated and
the skin ruptured, rendering a moldy appearance. The ruptured skin became
prone to bacterial invasion.
Pierre
Chenxu Herbal Skin Care Cleansers and Scrubs are made very uniquely
from all others. They are entirely researched and developed in Pierre
Chenxu's own laboratories. Absolutely no standard formulations are used
at all. They are truly revolutionary products. The firsts in the market.
The Right image above shows Smooth Spherical Beads used in Dr. Pierre
Scrubs, in an absolutely soap-free gentle emulasion-base. It gently
dissolves and clear the clogged debris without dehydrating skin and
without depositing any wax content into pores. They simply perform their
cleansing action remarkably, leaving skin clear, soft, silky and refreshed.
You don't have to believe what we claim here. Try them out yourselves,
and you'll never regret the rest of your life.
The Most Ideal Remedy
A
Skin Care product or an agent that can gently and painlessly dissolve
the hardened plugs of comedones and bring to the skin surface for simple,
easy wiping off.
But
is such a Skin Care product available and where can one find it? Yes,
this is something everyone has been looking forward to for many years.
But at long last, thanks to Dr. Pierre Herbal Cosmeceuticals Laboratories
in Singapore, which has spent over 3 years of research and development
(from 1986 to 1990) to create such products. They are the most ideal,
painless solution to comedones in this generation -- a breakthrough
in the cosmetics industry indeed. Now, Dr. Pierre Herbal Cosmeceuticals Skin Care
Wondergel Ginseng Exfoliating Gel and Wondergel Ginseng Purifying Scrub
( as well as Sage Purifying Scrubs ) are the world's answer to a safe,
convenient, and painless way of removing Blackheads. The first such
product in the world's cosmetic industry, Dr. Pierre Herbal Cosmeceuticals Skin
Care Wondergel Ginseng Exfoliating Gel and Wondergel Ginseng Purifying
Scrub are currently the talk-of-the-town, attracting local and even
foreign medias to focus on these products. A French cosmetics and perfumeries
writer of a famous European beauty magazine has also highlighted PIERRE
CHENXU's Wondergel Ginseng Exfoliating Gel in their magazine.
Skin Cancer, Sunscreen and SPF
Up
to the early 1980's, sunscreens and sunblocks were religiously believed
to be only for beach applications. The Australians have been the largest
and most faithful users of sunscreens and sunblocks, and yet they have
the world's highest skin cancer patients.
How UV-rays damage the skin
The epidermis,
the outer-most layer of our skin, is no thicker than the normal writing
paper. About 90% of the skin mass is collagen - a large protein that
contributes to the skin form, function and strength. Collagen is the
principal recipient of UV-induced skin damage. The UV-rays suppress
collagen production by turning off the collagen-producing genes. Simultaneously,
UV-rays activate collagen digestion by stimulating production of the
destructive enzymes. Each occurrence will damage the skin with a micro
rupture. Over the years, the micro-rupture will become macro, leading
to prematurely wrinkled skin and hyper-pigmentation.
Is
walking under the shade and staying indoor safe?
In his early
years in the beauty industry, Dr. Pierre witnessed countless cases of
premature-aging (UV-induced photo-aging) and hyper-pigmentation among
his large customer base of helpless men and women. No Skin Care products
in the market could address the problem of the day then. Day creams
were made only to moisturize the skin. From his years of painstaking
observation, Dr. Pierre discovered that the cumulative effect of the
daily micro skin damage caused by indirect exposure to UV rays is as
harmful. A few minutes walk under the shade outside, or staying indoors
(with lots of natural lighting) is still unsafe. In our tropical climate,
the UV-rays are intense. So long your eyes can see an object there are
visible rays present, so as UV-rays, since UV-rays are directly beside
the visible-rays in the light spectrum. So, there's no need to lie under
the hot sun at the beach to get UV-induced skin damage. A small daily
dose is enough to do harm over the years.
The Revolutionary Dr. Pierre Herbal Cosmeceuticals 3-in-1 Sunscreen
Day Cream
Pierre saw
the urgent need to do something to turn the tide. So, in 1983 he researched
and developed the first revolutionary sunscreen day cream with an SPF
8 (that is, ability to protect the skin 8 times longer than an unprotected
skin). He incorporated 3 application functions in the cream - as Sunscreen,
Makeup Foundation and as Moisturizing Day Cream! Today, Dr. Pierre has
4 unqiue anti-UV formulations in his line of Hernal Cosmeceuticals products.
DR. PIERRE Herbal Cosmeceuticals products vs the Competition
Making Skin
Care product is no big deal, because most Skin Care manufacturers made
them with Free Standard Formulations obtained from their Chemical/Raw
Material suppliers. However, every DR. PIERRE product is uniquely researched
and developed by Dr. Pierre himself to yield that unique efficacy and
effectiveness that Free Standard Formulations could not deliver. DR.
PIERRE products render fast positive results and yield a much silkier,
radiant, youthful and baby-soft skin within days!
Countless
people globally have benefited from Dr. Pierre's unique and revolutionary
concoctions.
Is Higher SPF better?
Over the years,
several competitors followed Dr. Pierre's footsteps, with several companies
trying to outdo one another by offering SPF indices of up to as high
as 100, in the expense and risk of the end-users! These companies irresponsibly
(or ignorantly) educate end-users into believing that the higher the
SPF the better. Dr. Pierre instantly saw the immense risk and warned
the general consumer public (in the U.S. in particular) against using
sunscreens with SPF that's higher than 15.
Reasons:
1. To yield higher SPF, higher concentrations of UV-absorbers need to
be used. These are chemical block ingredients and will cause serious
skin sensitizing.
2. UV-absorbers, while blocking UV-ray penetration into skin, absorb
UV-rays and allow them to accumulate on the skin surface. Over time,
via radiation delayed pigmentation and photo-aging results.
3. The extremely high SPF gives end-users a false sense of safety, and
will prompt them to expose more and longer to direct sun. This will
lead to amplified accumulation of much larger doses of UV-rays, thus
larger doses of UV radiation through the skin, and a much higher chance
of contracting skin cancer.
4. An unprotected skin of an average Caucasian will take about 15 to
20 minutes to show the first sign of Erythema under the direct hot sun.
So, an SPF 100 sunscreen is supposed to protect the skin 25 to 33 hours
longer (100 X 15 / 60; 100 X 20 / 60 ). However, the Sun never appears
that long! And for the Chinese, with an average time of 25 to 30 minutes
of exposure before the first sign of Erythema appears, SPF 100 translates
into 42 to 50 hours of protection!
5. For lower SPF product, it requires only a little of or no UV-absorbers.
Dr. Pierre use physical block ingredients, which work by reflecting
and deflecting the UV-rays, thus rendering the UV-rays little chance
to accumulate on the skin surface.
Today, several papers have been published by researchers on the risk
of high SPF products. The FDA has issued a cap to limit labels of SPF
to 30 max.

"I Have Great Result With
Your Products"
I tried a lot of skin care products from a very
expensive kind like Shisedo and Murad to a cheaper kind like Neutrogena
