Blackheads are caused when our pores get clogged due to dirt, sweat and oil. When all of these elements get oxidised on our skin, they start looking like blackheads. Since blackheads are stuck between our pores, it makes it very hard to get them out. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get rid of them from your home, with ingredients you probably already have? If your answer to that question was yes, which it probably was, then this article is for you.
Drinking a lot of water can help in hydrating the skin's surface by keeping the potent oil blocks away.
1. Baking Soda
Baking soda is a natural exfoliator. Create a paste using baking soda and water and apply it to the blackhead affected area. Use your fingers to gently scrub the skin for a few minutes and then wash off with water. This should be done twice a week.
2. Clay
The oil-absorbing properties of clay make it ideal for clearing extra grease from the skin along with other impurities. Masks made from fuller’s earth and kaolin clay, when used regularly on the face can help clear out the pores. This will eventually get rid of blackheads and make the skin smooth.
3. Lemon, Salt and Honey
The astringent quality of lemon will cut grease while the fine granules of salt will act as a non-abrasive scrub for your skin. Honey will leave your skin moisturised and help keep the germs away. Make a paste with these three ingredients and apply it to the blackheads. After five minutes, gently scrub in circular motions for a minute and let it stay for another five minutes. Wash away with warm water. Do this thrice a week.
4. Egg White Mask
Known for their skin tightening abilities, egg whites make an effective ingredient for blackhead removal. When applied directly on the skin or as a mask, egg whites shrink the pores, hence forcing blackheads out. Being rich in nutrients, egg whites also improve skin texture and remove extra oil from the skin.
