How come when I pluck my eyebrows, theres a black speck I have to squeeze out like a zit?
Alѕο, ѕοmе οf thе black specks, whеn squeezed, push out thе ѕtаrt οf a nеw hair, whісh I аlѕο hаνе tο pluck! Thе dаrk zit lіkе things mаkе іt look lіkе I still hаνе unplucked brow hairs аnd I аm tired οf plucking everyday. Whаt аrе thеу аnd whаt causes thеm? Thanks іn advance.
blackheads probably. Blackheads are those annoying little blackish or yellowish bumps embedded into the pores of our skin. Blackheads usually develop if your skin produces too much oil. With the start of puberty, hormones in the body become upregulated with the accumulation of the hormone by-product Dihydrotestosterone or DHT. You can extract blackheads yourself if there is no infection on and around it. Just make sure you use sterile materials and do so in a clean environment. You can begin by steaming your skin for a while over a bowl of hot water to loosen the pores and make the extraction process less painful. Be careful not to scald yourself.
I'm pretty sure that the black speck is hair that's still in the follicle, if you get your eyebrows waxed then you shouldn't have that problem and won't have to pluck your eyebrows everyday.
