Black Heads

Black-heads are caused by over active oil producing glands (sebaceous glands) of the skin. The excess secretion  of oil expands and thickness the pores of the skin. The oil collects in the pores are then clogged with hardened sebum or oil. Since the pores are open, the tip of the clogged grease is exposed to the air and oxidizes, turning black. Hence, the name black-heads.

Washing the face twice a day with a medicated soap and lukewarm water helps reduce the oiliness of the skin surface and eliminates the chances of black-heads.
