Whenever there are breakouts or pimples on the face, your entire look gets spoiled. Often, they appear like blackheads and whiteheads. Both are quite stubborn and do not go away easily. Also, they are painful. Sometimes, trying to remove them can cause more harm to you. Many people start scratching or pressing them.

This method is not correct at all. If you are also confused about blackheads and whiteheads, then you must read this article of ours. We are going to give you detailed information about both of them. Along with this, we will also tell which one causes more trouble. Let's know-

What are whiteheads?

Whiteheads actually look like small pimples. These are also called closed comedones. They are formed when the pores are completely clogged with oil and dead skin cells. These appear as white or light colored small lumps on the skin. These are more common on the nose, under the lips, and on the forehead.

What are blackheads?

Blackheads are also formed due to clogged pores. The only difference is that the mouth of the pores remains open, and the dirt and oil accumulated inside turns black due to exposure to air. This is why they are called blackheads. These also mostly occur under the nose and lips.

Why do black and white heads occur?

The biggest reason behind blackheads and whiteheads is oily skin. When this oil mixes with dead skin cells and blocks the pores, then blackheads and whiteheads are formed. Accumulation of bacteria and hormonal changes can also be a major reason for this.

How to control?

To get rid of the problem of blackheads and whiteheads, mix baking soda and lemon juice. After this, apply it to the face. You will get relief from it immediately. You can do this twice a day. The second way is that you can also use aloe vera gel. Applying aloe vera on the face daily will get rid of the problem of pimples on the skin.

Understand the difference
Both blackheads and whiteheads are non-inflammatory pimples, that is, there is no swelling in them. The only difference is that whiteheads look like small pimples and can later turn into big pimples. On the other hand, black heads are easily identified because they are black in color.
