Home Remedies For Blackheads

May 14, 2009


Tiny black spots that you see under the topmost layer of your skin are known as blackheads. They appear as a sign of clogged pores. They are oils that have collected in your pores that form these black spots on your skin.

The longer you take to cure them the deeper they sink into your skin and cause skin eruptions. An effective way to get rid of the problem is to avoid using too many cosmetics and products on your skin.

Keep your make up minimal and use products that suit your skin type. You must make sure that you note the shelf life of your products and cosmetics. Using expired products can lead to acne and skin breakouts.

Wash your face regularly. Use a face scrub every alternate day to get rid of the oily build up on your skin and to exfoliate your skin to get rid of the dead skin cells. Wash your face well with warm water to get rid of the granules from the face scrub and wipe it dry with a towel. Then apply a toner and flew up with a moisturizer.

Once you have used a scrub on your skin you clean the pores and they are left open; hence it is important to use a toner to close all open pores. If you skip this step then you are getting into a vicious cycle as your pores will attract oil and dirt all over again.

Never sleep with your make up on. Use a makeup remover or simply dip a cotton ball in milk and remove all traces of make up from your skin.

Use a face pack of fuller earth and rose water to close your pores. The fuller’s earth also helps to reduce the black heads from appearing.

Apply a paste of equal portions of yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice and oatmeal and apply it to your skin. This helps to dry the skin and prevent the blackheads from spreading. Wash it off with cold water when it dries.

Sandalwood is also effective. Simply apply a paste of sandalwood powder mixed with rose water to the affected area and you will see the blackheads vanish. Wash it off with cold water.
