Blackheads are caused by many different factors. For example hormonal changes can cause blackheads in teens and young people from the ages of 12 to 24, as well as menstruating and pregnant women of any age. There are several popular makeup and skin care products today. These products can irritate the skin and cause blackheads, especially in those who have sensitive skin. These products also contain oil which can get trapped in pores and cause blackheads. Diet plays a significant role in the appearance of skin. Other factors that can result in blackhead formation include insufficient water in your body, and over exfoliating your skin. When you scrub your body too hard, you may remove some of the body’s natural substances that help to control facial oil and stop blackheads.
