we’re getting a bit grim today 😏 we’re delving into the world of spots 👍🏻
it’s all because i did a made pore strip thing last night and now i have many questions 🤔
#tdil what blackheads are and how they differ from whiteheads 🙄
spots … i was promised that, one day when i was older, all meh spots would fall off and i’d never get them ever again … i was lied too 😢 i guess, if they’re here to stay, we may as well understand them 🤷🏻♂️
so, i guess we should start with what spots are in the first place – they’re pores that become blocked with a wax plug made of dead skin cells, general debris and bacteria 😷
this blockage prevents your glands from secreting and shedding the aforementioned … which is important 🙄 the result, is a grim spot that appears only when you’re about to go somewhere special 👍🏻
now, this is where the two differ … a blackhead is caused when this wax plug gets pushed up towards the skin’s surface. this causes it to come into contact with air and subsequently it becomes oxidised – this turns the plug of gubbins black 🙃
whiteheads are also a collection of grim stuff below the skin’s surface … but, as you’ve probably guessed, their shizz never gets exposed to air 👍🏻
that isn’t where the white stuff comes from though 🙈 that’s actually an inflammatory response from you body that occurs when a clogged pore comes under too much pressure and eventually ruptures 😷 your body basically pushes the white rubbish up to the surface 👎🏻
usually, posts like this now go into how to remove the aforementioned blemishes 😅 however, i’m neither a dermatologist or a beauty blogger 😂 #noqualifications
in lieu of that, you can find professionals telling you how to remove them ->here<- … or you could invest in some of those mental pore strips 🙌🏻 it may have pulled half my nose off, but it has deffo worked 😏
anyway! it’s formula one time! 🏎
peace out 🤙🏻 #tdil
