Blackheads occur as a result of excess naturally produced oil and dead skin cells clogging the pores. A common misconception about blackheads is that they are caused by dirt. And a blackhead is created if the pore is open and the clogged pores turn black when the air hits the open and clogged pores. Rubbing your face vigorously or many times a day will not remove pimples. If anything, that will dry out the skin and cause irritation. It will also cause more oil to be produced, leading to more blackheads. It can be a vicious circle. For this reason, do not use facial scrubs or pore strips more than two to three times a week. Fortunately, there are some easy natural remedies to get rid of those pesky skin problems.
- bentonite clay it is a smart product to use when trying to get rid of blackheads. It does a great job of drawing out dirt and impurities from the skin, while nourishing it. Simply mix a tablespoon of bentonite clay with enough water or apple cider vinegar to make a paste. Massage your face and let it rest between 10 and 25 minutes. Rinse the mixture off with lukewarm water, and then use a light moisturizer. If your skin is prone to drying out easily, use water instead of apple cider vinegar.
- egg whites They can be used to create a mask because they are less drying to the skin and have many nutrients that are good for the skin. First, separate the yolk of an egg from the egg white. Rinse your skin and gently pat dry. Apply a thin layer of the egg yolk on your skin. Then place a strip of toilet paper or facial tissue on the area. After that, apply one more layer of the egg yolk on your face. Apply a small amount of fabric on top of that layer. Let the mask dry and remove the tissue. Wash your face with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
- The last great home remedy for blackheads is a milk and honey mixture. Both have properties that work wonders on your skin. Mix a tablespoon of raw organic honey with a teaspoon of milk. Microwave for 5 to 10 seconds, then mix well. After checking the temperature, apply a thin layer and then gently pat a thin layer of cotton strips.
