Blackheads occur when we have oil coming through and can create a little plug at the top of the follicle. Thankfully, in the hands of a professional, we can extract them safely and effectively. A breakout is a small pustule know as whitehead, that’s developed when sebaceous glands become clogged and infected. This leads to those uncomfortable, red, and swollen lesions we’ve all experienced. Acne is a chronic skin condition that affects both the skins hair follicle and oil glands. A much deeper skin condition, acne occurs too far away from the skins surface to be pushed up and out, so it requires holistic care to treat and manage.
