Simple Remedies To Get Rid Of Blackheads

Common and annoying blackheads occur when pores become clogged with excess sebum and dead skin cells. Wouldn’t it be great if you never had to deal with one again? Well since they seem to find their way into our day to day lives I have found some at home remedies to zap them away!

Bentonite Clay

Bentonite clay is a wonderful mineral rich healing substance that has been used for centuries to treat mainly skin related issues. Due to its electrical charge when wet, it draws out impurities and oils locked in your pores. The clay also improves circulation, which helps with the overall tone of your skin. Use 1 tablespoon of bentonite clay and enough water to form a paste. Smear the paste onto your face and let it sit for about 10-20 minutes then rinse off with warm water.

Egg Whites

Egg whites can temporarily tighten pores, which will reduce the risk of future blackheads and will also remove current blackheads. Egg whites are also very moisturizing unlike some blackhead remedies. Simply apply the egg whites to your skin and let dry. Once your skin is dry rinse off the egg white and your face should feel tight!

Cinnamon and Honey

Cinnamon helps improve circulation, which will give your skin a healthy glow. While the honey has anti-bacterial agents that help kill bacteria that cause blackheads and acne in general. Simply mix one part cinnamon with one part honey and apply a thin layer over any blackheads. Let the mixture sit for 3-5 minutes and then rinse.

Water

Water is a wonderful treatment for blackheads. You can only use facemasks a few times a week in order to keep your skin from drying out. Rinsing your face with water 1-2 times a day helps remove dirt or dried skin from causing acne.

Sweating

Sweating can minimize blackheads. Sweat naturally flows over and softens anything that might be clogging your pores. However make sure to rinse your skin after sweating a lot, because sweat can carry stuff and then dry in your pores, which can cause acne.

Baking Soda and Water

Baking soda acts as an exfoliate that removes dead skin cells and makes your skin soft and smooth. It also helps to neutralize your skin pH, which will lessen the amount of oil your skin produces. Mix about 1 tablespoon with one cup of water and rub mixture all over your face. It will be runny like water but your skin should feel a bit dryer after words. Once you’ve rinsed your face put some jojoba oil or coconut oil on your skin to moisturize.
