How to get rid of blackheads and whiteheads
Maintaining a clear and beautiful skin, takes time,
consistency and effort. Dermatologist may recommend lots of products, but some
of them can be expensive and may actually take a long time to work. You can,
however, incorporate some home remedies for blackheads and whiteheads into your
daily beauty regimen and in a few weeks, you will experience a drastic
reduction or even total elimination of the problem.
● Toothpaste – Toothpaste is an effective blackhead and
whitehead remover. Apply a thin paste to your infected areas and let it sit on
your face for at least 25 minutes. You will probably feel a burning sensation
when you apply the toothpaste, but this is normal and will pass. Once you
remove the toothpaste, the top of your blackheads and whiteheads will
disappear, but you still need to thoroughly wash your face to remove the
buildup underneath. Repeat this home remedy every other day for two weeks.
● Tomato – Tomatoes have natural antiseptic properties that
dry up whiteheads and blackheads. Peel and mash a small tomato. Apply the
tomato pulp to your blackheads and whiteheads before going to bed. Leave the
tomato pulp on your face while you sleep and then wash your face in warm water
in the morning.
● Lemon -Wash your face in warm water. Then, squeeze the
juice of one lemon into a bowl. Add in a pinch of salt and stir the mixture.
Apply the mixture to your blackheads and whiteheads. Leave the mixture on for
approximately 20 minutes and then wash your face with warm water again.
● Lime – You can also use equal parts of lime juice and
cinnamon powder and apply this mixture to blackheads. Leave it on overnight and
rinse it off in the morning
● Cornstarch – Mix about a three-to-one cornstarch to
vinegar ratio into a paste. Apply it to your problem areas and let sit for 15
to 30 minutes. Remove the paste with warm water and a washcloth.
● Yogurt - Mix three tablespoons of plain yogurt with two
tablespoons of oatmeal. Add one teaspoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of
lemon juice to the mixture. Stir the mixture thoroughly and apply it to the
effective area of the face. Let the mixture sit for five to seven minutes then
rinse off with cold water.
● Almond or oatmeal – Mix either oatmeal or almond powder
with just enough rose water to make a spreadable paste. Apply it to your
problem areas with your fingertips first and then apply it to the rest of your
face. Let it set for about 15 minutes and then rinse your face with cold water.
● Rice – Soak rice in milk for 5 hours and then grind this
in a blender until it is paste-like in consistency. Use the paste as a scrub on
affected areas of the body.
● Potatoes – Grate raw potatoes and then rub the area with
the mixture. Wash it off after 15 minutes.
● Fenugreek leaves – Crush some fenugreek leaves and mix
with water to form a paste. Put this on the face for 15 minutes and then remove
it. Do this every night to keep your face free of blackheads.
● Coriander leaves – Mix some coriander leaves and a little
turmeric powder with water and form a paste. Use this as a mask to eliminate
blackheads.
● Oatmeal -Grind oatmeal into a powder in a blender and then
add some rose water. Use this on affected areas for 15 minutes and then wash it
off with cold water.
● Baking soda – Prepare a mixture of equal parts of baking
soda and water and rub it onto your face or other body areas prone to
blackheads. Leave it on for 15 minutes and then rinse it off with warm water.
● Honey is also good for removing blackheads. Spread honey
on the affected area and remove it after 15 minutes.
Remember – Be gentle to your skin. Never pinch, scrape,
poke, press, or squeeze too hard!
