NATURAL HOME REMEDIES FOR BLACKHEADS

Remedy for Blackheads
I have been on the gin and raisins regime for over three months now and ALL of my inflamatory pain has gone away. Even my painful knee that I wore a brace on for years. I thought it was a joke but got tired of taking drugs and said what the heck! Wow! No longer in pain and I have more "pep in my step". Less than an ounce of gin per day, I can handle that!

Remedy for Blackheads
Take 2 eggs and separate the yolks and keep the egg white, apply egg white liquid directly to face where blackheads are present or use facial cotton and leave on face. For both techniques, leave on face for about 30-45 minutes. The egg white will harden so please dont move your face, better if you use under a fan.

I have found that wiping your face with a Banana does wonders. You can also look at it afterwords and see all the dirt and toxins that it cleaned off your face.
#8 - tx_dove - 06/19/2008 - 14:04
if you apply tea tree oil
(100% is best) on your skin
at night after cleansing your face
with a mild cleanser, and sleep
on it, your zits will be gone within
a few days. blackheads usually
take a few extra days. and it
doesnt overdry. i wish i had known
about this ages ago. its fantastic.
