Getting facial

The thing I hate most are blackheads on my face. They are so ugly and a big fuss.

A blackhead is basically an enlarged hair follicle which gets filled with dead skin cells, bacteria, and oil.

This is often capped by a blackened mass of skin debris, from which it gets its name,
blackheads often form because of excess of oil secreted by glands in the skin.

This oil is natural and necessary to protect and lubricate the skin, but when excess dead skin cells are present, this can block the flow of oil and cause the build-up which turns into blackheads and other forms of acne.
