How To Get Rid Of Whiteheads & Blackheads?

                    Whiteheads are tiny, white raised spots and are caused by the accumulation of hardened sebum or oil in the pores of the skin when a sebum blocks a hair follicle deeper in the skin.

                    A Blackhead results when dead skin cells and sebum block a hair follicle near the surface of the skin. Blackheads causes the oily skin pores to be enlarged and the texture becomes coarse and rough. When a pore is fully blocked, a pimple can result. Blackheads cause acne.
