Blackheads: what are they?

Blackheads or comedones are the mixture of dead cells and sebum, clogging the pores of your skin. They are due to excess sebum produced by the skin as well as poor facial care.

They usually appear on certain areas of the face, such as the chin, nose and cheeks and even the back. But their favorite place is the nose!

This is the reason why their appearance is a real problem especially among women, most men worrying less.

Prevent their appearance and prevent their return

Getting blackheads out takes some time and patience. Hence the need to have the habit of washing your face every day with cold water so that the pores are perfectly closed.

You will also need to perform scrubs and apply masks so that your pores always stay clean. Also, avoid piercing blackheads, as this can leave scars on your face.

Remember, if you have big pimples you can always hide them.

Natural tips to permanently remove blackheads

There are different tips, each equally effective, which can help you permanently eliminate your blackheads. Here are just a few:

Masks

Apply a mask that matches your skin type once or twice a week. If your skin is oily, prepare a mask with green clay then apply all over the face.

You can also use egg white to remove your blackheads. To do this, separate the white from the yellow then put a first layer on your face. Once it dries, do several more.

Then use a clean, damp, warm towel to remove the mask. All impurities will follow the egg white layers.

Soft scrubs

To prevent the return of blackheads, it is best to exfoliate the face once a week. However, in order not to irritate the face, only use products that match your skin type.

You can prepare, among other things, a scrub with sugar and olive oil.

Baking soda

The antiseptic properties of baking soda make it a miracle remedy for blackhead removal.

– Mix in a glass or ceramic bowl a tablespoon of baking soda with a little water until the mixture forms a paste.

– Apply the mixture to the blackheads and let dry (about 10 minutes)

– Rinse off with lukewarm water.

Use this remedy, which will help you remove impurities from the pores, once or twice a week.

Home saunas

No need to go to wellness centers or beauty treatments to treat yourself to this type of treatment. At home, in your kitchen, do a steam bath for your face.

This will facilitate the removal of blackheads since the pores will be enlarged after the “sauna”.

You just need to boil some water in a saucepan, then place your face on top, your head covered with a towel.

After about ten minutes, gently squeeze your nose to dislodge the blackheads then wipe with a tissue. You can also use eucalyptus essential oil for well-being and unclog the airways at the same time!

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is an antibacterial spice that can be used to create flavored face masks that will have the power to remove blackheads.

– Mix one measure of organic cinnamon with two measures of honey to obtain a paste.

– Apply the mixture in a thin layer on the blackheads.

– Leave on for at least 15 minutes.

– Remove the mixture using your favorite natural facial cleanser, then apply some moisturizer.

Use this routine daily for optimal results.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal lessens irritation, clears away dead skin, and absorbs excess seborrhea – all of which helps give you a glowing complexion.

– Leather oatmeal using distilled water (containing no contaminants); cook enough to cover blackheads.

– Let the oatmeal cool until the mixture reaches room temperature and apply to affected areas.

– Leave on for ten to twenty minutes then rinse with lukewarm water.

Use this remedy at least once a day. If you’re in the market for organic oatmeal, try these steel-sheared oatmeal from Bob’s Red Mill.

Lemon juice

Lemon juice contains alpha hydroxy acid (AAH) or citric acid, which removes dead skin naturally, which is the perfect solution for unblocking pores.

In addition, the vitamin C which is present in lemon juice is an antioxidant which stimulates the production of collagen, a substance which contributes to the health of the skin and reduces the scars caused by acne.

– Start by cleaning your face with a gentle, natural cleanser.

– Squeeze the juice of an organic lemon and place about a teaspoon in a glass or ceramic bowl.

– Apply the juice to the blackheads using a cotton ball (dab the area in question, do not rub)

– Let dry (at least two minutes), then rinse with cold water. If you prefer, you can also leave the treatment on overnight.

Use this treatment up to once a day.

The massage

You do not need another person to perform this type of massage. For the product to soak into your skin, your pores must be dilated. So, start by washing your face with warm water.

Then put a few drops of olive oil or sweet almond oil with a little toothpaste on a corner of a clean cloth, such as a towel.

Massage your nose circularly with this preparation for at least 5 minutes, then rinse. Also do this on other areas with these unpleasant spots.

Green tea

The vitamins and antioxidants that are present in green tea make this substance an ideal remedy for removing excess seborrhea and reducing inflammation in any skin that may develop acne.

– Boil a cup of water then remove from the heat.

– Infuse two tea bags or a scoop infuser containing about two teaspoons of organic green tea for about an hour.

– Pour the liquid into a glass or ceramic bowl and let cool.

– Dab the mixture on your blackheads and let dry (at least ten minutes)

– Rinse off with cool water, dab with a towel and apply moisturizer.

Repeat this treatment once a day.

Washing 

To get rid of blackheads, there is a whole other way to wash your face. Use hot water and lather with neutral soap, then take cold water to rinse yourself off.

This method will close your pores.

Honey

Honey is an antibacterial and antiseptic substance, which makes it an ideal solution for those who suffer from acne related to the presence of blackheads.

– Heat a tablespoon of pure raw honey in a small container until it is warm to the touch. (A convenient way to do this is to place your container in a bowl of very hot water.)

– Apply the hot honey to your blackheads and let the skin absorb the substance for about ten minutes.

– Cleanse the face with a damp cloth.

This treatment can be left in place overnight. Repeat this routine daily for optimal results.

*** Make sure you are not allergic to honey before proceeding with this treatment. ***

Homemade anti-blackhead lotions

To make an effective homemade lotion, take in equal amounts lime juice, sweet almond oil and glycerin.

After mixing the mixture well, apply it, let it sit for 15 minutes and then rinse it off with lukewarm water.

Perform this gesture every night until your stitches disappear.

If you don’t have sweet almond oil or glycerin, use parsley juice. Soak a compress and place on the area to be treated.

Turmeric

Turmeric is an excellent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. The spice that is used for cooking would stain the face if applied to blackheads, but kasthuri turmeric or wild turmeric, which is the inedible variety, does not stain it.

– Mix a little kasthuri turmeric with water and coconut oil to form a paste.

– Apply the mixture to the irritated areas of the face and let the skin absorb the substance for ten to fifteen minutes.

– Rinse off with lukewarm water

Organic kasthuri can be very difficult to find, but Indian grocery stores should generally stock it.

Use this treatment on a daily basis: it will eliminate blackheads and prevent their reappearance.

A tube of glue

And yes, glues can help you get rid of your blackheads, acting like an egg white mask. To do this, first heat your face with hot water so that the pores can dilate. Then place a wet towel on it for a few minutes.

When the time is up, spread the glue on your nose and all the areas where your blackheads are. When the glue is completely dry, remove the thin film from your face. Patches are also a great solution.

Toothpaste

Spread a small amount on your nose or the area where the blackheads are and then brush gently with a used toothbrush. Perform this gesture for a few minutes every night.

Before using the toothbrush, and even after, it is necessary to clean it well by placing it in boiling water. This will remove the impurities.

Epsom salts

Epsom salts are not only useful for relieving muscle aches; they can also overcome blackheads. Most of the other substances on this list attack dead skin and seborrhea, but Epsom salts only unblock pores; the rest is eliminated on its own once the pores are dilated.

– Start with a gentle exfoliation of the area where blackheads appear, in order to eliminate dead skin that could prevent the proper functioning of the cleansing process.

– Mix a teaspoon of Epsom salts in half a cup of hot water and add four drops of iodine to it.

– Stir thoroughly until the salts are completely dissolved, then let the mixture cool.

– Apply the mixture to the affected areas of the face by massaging lightly, then let dry.

– Wash the face with hot water and pat with a dry towel.

You can use this treatment as often as you want.

A balanced diet

By adopting a healthy food hygiene, especially based on food rich in zinc is a guarantee of perfect skin. You will no longer be faced with the various problems caused by excess sebum production.

You will find zinc in abundance in egg yolks, oysters, Parmesans, green beans and peaches.

You can also consume food supplements containing Zinc.
