Home Remedies To Remove Whiteheads

January 11, 2011

Like Acne and Blackheads, appearance of Whiteheads on skin is another common skin problem that can be healed by adopting some natural home remedies to remove Whiteheads before they give rise to Acne Vulgaris or Cystic Acne.

Whiteheads, also called Closed Comedones, are formed by the combination of dead skin cells and sebaceous matter that tends to clog skin pores and hair follicles. They remain under the skin.

Unlike Blackheads, Whiteheads are not exposed to air and do not get oxidized. Hence, they remain white or yellow-white in color instead of turning brown/black.
