Whiteheads

Tajuk postku hari ni adalah pasal "Whiteheads". Aku mau tanya kamurang bah. Kamu adakah masalah dengan whiteheads?? Aku memang sudah lama mempunyai masalah dengan whiteheads jika dibandingkan dengan blackheads. Dan whiteheads ni la puncanya aku berjerawat jugak. Tension betul aku. Kalau dulu whiteheads ni tidak la mengganggu aku sangat sebab setakat ber-whiteheads di hidung aku rasa itu normal la kan?? Normal kah tu??



Tapi ini mulai sudah pigi ke pipi. Oh no!!!!! Aku pun apa lagi... gatal tangan ni. Malar memicit eh silap! Mem-facial sendiri bah di rumah. Berbiji-biji bah tu whiteheads timbul. Aduiii sedihnya. Terlebih minyak bah aku nie. Kah hormon tu?? Adakah makin tua makin menjadi pulak tu jerawat. Aduiiii.... helpppppp..... bila la aku akan merasai kulit wajah yang halus dan berseri-seri tu aar??? Ini asal orang jumpa aku mesti tanya kenapa dengan mukaku ?!@#$%^&*() BIKIN PANAS!! Bikin hilang confident bah jerawat ni. Sialan betul. Stress aku.

Sudah setahun mengkali aku ni tidak facial gara-gara tempat yang aku selalu facial tu bankrap aar... jadi itu kedai/beauty parlor sudah tutup!! Sekarang ni aku tengah cari tempat facial yang bagus/boleh dipercayai la. Kadang aku tidak suka bah pigi sembarangan punya kedai pasal nanti kena sama tu junior beautician, susah jugak tu tau. Whiteheads ni bukannya boleh sembarangan picit. Kalau salah picit, itu whiteheads tidak mau keluar... nah alamatnya... jadi laa bengkak dan jerawat pun membesar. Actually selalu terjadi sama aku ni. Ndak kira la samada aku yang picit ataupun time aku pigi facial di kedai. Kalau orang tu main tekan-tekan jak alamatnya... aku pulang rumah jak confirm akan bengkak. Kalau bukan bengkak jerawat, kuning masak ranum aaar....

So, lately aku telah membuat assignment di rumah. Aku telah merajinkan diri untuk meng-google apakah itu whiteheads and punca kejadiannya. Mari kita baca sikit.

Whiteheads are form of acne and one of the greatest fears of the beauty – a build-up of oils, serum and dead skin that plugs up your pores. Just like the blackheads, the whiteheads can be also seen in both teenagers and adults. Whiteheads can be shortly defined as: tiny, pearly, white raised spots formed in the skin where skin cells clog and close a hair follicle (the reason why they are also called closed comedones). (No wonder makin banyak whiteheadsku rupanya kesilapanku adalah memakai SERUM selama ini. So, terpaksa la buat sementara ni tidak boleh pakai serum.)


Many people mistake whiteheads for pimples as they both look alike but there is a difference because whiteheads should be removed very carefully. (Nahhh! Dengar tu.... itu la masalahku sebenarnya!! Bila dipicit tapi tak keluar, tu yang jadi pimples!!)



The exact cause of whiteheads isn’t still known for sure but most of the dermatologists suggest that the whiteheads are caused by the accumulation of hardened sebum (oil) in the pores of the skin. If the skin pore closes up then the bacteria will remain under the skin – it will begin to grow and after a few days a whitehead will be formed. (Ini pun masalah ku jugak. Asyik pakai serum/cream yang berada di pasaran khas untuk menutup skin pores... tau-taunya apa jadi!!)

Whiteheads usually occur on different parts of the face, most commonly around the eyes and on the cheeks. Most of the people also get whiteheads on the chest, neck and forehead. Whiteheads are often accompanied with blackheads, pimples and acne. (Habis laaa aku....)

You should never try to remove whiteheads alone at home, never! You should know that whiteheads are different from pimples or blackheads. If you try to squeeze the whitehead you may easily break the skin which will result in permanent, reddish scar. (This is what happen to me now. :((( Huwaaaa..... Tu laa gatal tangan kan. Tapi siapa bah tahan....)

The best way to prevent the formation of whiteheads is to follow a strict skin care regimen, as follows:

  • Clean your face at least twice a day with skincare products that are appropriate for your skin type. Use a facial cleanser that contain salicylic acid or alpha hydroxyl acids as there ingredients help in unclogging the pores.
  • Exfoliate your skin regularly – twice or three times a week. Apply the exfoliating products all over your face, using light, circular motions concentration on the problem areas of the face forehead, nose and cheeks. Try to find a gentle exfoliator with small particles it will encourage newer, smoother and healthier skin cells to grow, helping to unclog the pores. (I'm trying hard nowadays)
  • Even if your skin is oily or mixed you should never forget to apply a moisturizer or a hydrating cream. (Ini la bah yang aku selalu skip ni. Pikir kalau muka berminyak tak perlu pakai moisturizer. Selama ni aku cuma pakai hydrating serum. Tapi katanya SERUM tu la punca whiteheads. Bingung tul.)
  • Once a week steam your face for a few minutes to cleanse your skin in deep. Steaming is very important to loosen debris that may be embedded into the skin. When steaming the face you wide the clogged pores and soften the skin in order to cleanse more easily the impurities, the traces of makeup, the dust, the sebaceous secretions as well as the dead skin cells.
  • You can also use a comedone remover (a comedone extractor ) tool – a handy device to help keep pores free of blackheads and blemishes. It will remove all clogged dark bumps with trapped sebum, bacteria and excess oils dislodging pore blockages leaving skin clear and smooth. This tool should be used immediately after steaming the face.

If you have just a small number of whiteheads don’t do anything – leave them the way they are because sometimes whiteheads go away by themselves in a few days. (Betulkah boleh hilang sendiri??? Ndak laa aku picaya)

You should never try to squeeze the whitehead alone; you had better go to the nearest beauty parlor and consult a beautician or a dermatologist. (Helppppp.... i need a profesional beautician!!! Aku dah pernah jumpa Doktor sebelum ni tapi macam tidak dapat membantu)

The cosmetologists are trained to remove whiteheads and the other forms of acne flawlessly. They use special methods and tools to extract the whiteheads without a risk of skin infections and scarring.

  • The first thing the cosmetologist will do is to steam your face – to widen the clogged pores and to soften the skin in order to cleanse more easily the impurities. After steaming it will be more easily to remove the comedones /blackheads, whiteheads/ and the little pimples.
  • Then she / he will use a sterilized needle to gently prick the tip of the whitehead with the needle. A gentle pressure will be needed to ease out the pus. Basically this is to most common way used by the dermatologist and the beauticians to remove the whiteheads. The method resembles the way a pimple is popped but a higher degree of attention is needed.
Now, kamu sudah understand kah apa itu whiteheads?? Kalau sudah merayap ke pipi tu... kamu paham-paham la tu ya. Itu yang paling bikin stress tu. Walaupun mungkin tidak la berapa ketara tetapi setiap kali aku menyuci mukaku, aku dapat merasakan kehadiran timbulan-timbulan whiteheads tu di permukaan kulit mukaku and I hate it! Siapa bah suka kan.

Jadi kesimpulannya... aku tidak mau jumpa doktor ok. Bulihkah kamurang rekomen aku tempat facial yang bagus dan boleh dipercayai?? Mungkin bagi kamu masalahku ni tidak la berat sangat. Tapi aku mengidamkan kulit yang licin dan bersih bah. Jeles bah aku tengok muka orang yang bersih, licin, flawless, tidak berminyak gitu. Ini aku baru mekap satu jam sudah luntur! Pa macam oooo..... Sesiapa yang ada tips-tips tu atau mempunyai masalah yang sama, bah... please la share sikit di ruangan komen ya. I would appreciate it. Thanx!

through my experience yg selama ni ada byk tu blackhead and whitehead,mmg xkan hilang kalau facial saja. But its totally changed lepas sya amalkan mkan kollagen. Muka sya kurang whitehead+blackhead sudah, and pores tu makin kecil.

bOleh cuba kalau mau... :) sya mkn Catalyst Collagen + Vco (myk kelapa dara) seriously kulit yg pores besar ni, sgt2 mujarab. Di kk pasti ada yg jual.

lepas mkn dlm 1bln tu pasti nampak hasil whitehead kurang :)

SELAMAT MENCUBA ;)
