Tahu tak bintik hitam yang banyak banyak pada hidung tu bukannya blackhead pun? Itu adalah sebaceous filaments!

Thread

Apa tu Sebaceous Filaments (SF) ?
SF adalah benda yang normal. Semua orang ada.

SF selalunya berwarna kelabu atau yellowy white. It’s composed of dead skin, hair and oils.

Kenapa kelabu? Sebab bila di expose kepada udara, dia akan ter-oxidize.

SF ni penting untuk bawa sebum(minyak) ke permukaan kulit melalui folikel rambut. Penting untuk maintain skin’s moisture and flexibility.

SF can be very visible when your pores are filled up with sebum.

Apa beza SF dengan blackhead?

SF dgn blackhead ni nampak je sama tapi dia adalah dua benda yg berbeza

SF is something normal. Tapi kalau terlalu banyak minyak dihasilkan, lepastu campur pulak dengan sel kulit mati, bakteria dan kekotoran. So SF boleh jadi blackhead.

Blackhead on the other hand, is not normal. Ianya disebabkan pori yang tersumbat. Selalunya berwarna lagi gelap than SF. Dan tak sebanyak SF

Boleh ke hilangkan SF permanently?

SF ni lagi susah nak hilangkan berbanding blackhead. Walaupun kita picit dia keluar, dia still akan ada balik.

Bcs remember? SF is one of the normal functions of the skin

Kalau bolehh, jangan cuba squeeze SF/blackhead ni. Sebab you boleh menerukkan lagi keadaan dengan penyebaran bakteria, kotoran, irritation dan parut

Howeverrr, you can try to decrease the appearance. How?

1. Use skincare products that help to minimize pores
and oil production

2. Use deep but gentle cleanser

3. Regular exfoliation (chemical exfoliator works best)

Why? I ada explain briefly in this thread hehe

Your Neverending Blackheads Could Be Sebaceous Filaments | Skin Careless

Those dark spots on your nose, cheeks and chin probably aren’t blackheads. They’re sebaceous filaments, and squeezing them won't get rid of them for good.
