The tiny little black dots on the nose and face can be overwhelming, especially when they seem to appear overnight when you are about to get married in a few days! In reality, blackheads are a result of the pollution in the air, the dust flying and settled in the surrounding and the stress of daily life. They occur due to clogged skin pores, when these pores accumulate dust, dead skin cells, and oil. One of the most common methods used to remove them is squeezing them out, but the pain one feels during the process is too high a price to pay! Also, blackheads contain bacteria which can affect the tissues in the surrounding skin. We bring you some of the best natural remedies using easy ingredients and methods to remove blackheads, cleanse your pores and also improve the skin.
Ensure that when you are trying any remedy at home, try a patch test first. Also, don’t scrub your skin excessively, which will damage it. Let’s take a look at the home remedies we promised you. Try these for fast results!
LEMON AND HONEY
Citric acid is effective for unclogging your pores and can make your skin smoother, thus removing blackheads. The citric acid in the lemon juice will have a similar effect on your skin. Honey has excellent antibacterial and cleansing properties. The sugar in the mix will work as a scrub to exfoliate your skin.
Mix a tablespoon of honey with one tablespoon of raw honey. To that, add a tablespoon of sugar crystals, and mix well. Immediately apply it to on areas of your skin which are affected by blackheads. You will have to leave in on for at least 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse it off gently with warm water. If you rub hard when washing your face, it will cause irritation.
