The video discusses the common skin issues of blackheads and whiteheads, which can be treated at home using a five-step process. The host, Prerna, explains that blackheads and whiteheads are a natural occurrence due to environmental conditions and can be caused by factors such as oily skin, excessive sweating, and poor skin care.
The five-step process involves:
1. Washing the face properly with a gentle cleanser, such as Cetaphil.
2. Using hot water to open up the pores and loosen the dirt and oil.
3. Using a comedone extractor to remove the blackheads and whiteheads.
4. Applying a Salicylic acid-based product, such as Disprin, to the affected area to dry out the pores and remove any remaining dirt.
5. Moisturizing the skin with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer, such as Aveeno.
Prerna emphasizes the importance of being gentle when using the comedone extractor and not to overdo it, as it can cause scarring. She also recommends doing a patch test before using any new products and to follow the process at night before going to bed.
The process can be followed daily for severe conditions, but for mild conditions, it can be done on alternate days. Teenagers are advised to avoid using these products and instead use simple DIY face washes until they reach adulthood.
Overall, the video aims to educate viewers on how to take care of their skin and remove blackheads and whiteheads at home using natural and chemical-based products.
