How to treat blackheads…
* Sugar, Honey and Lemon
Brown sugar, honey and lemon juice make up this exfoliation mixture that you can use on blackheads, on your nose and chin. Mix together one tablespoon of brown sugar, two tablespoons of lemon and one tablespoon of raw honey. When it’s mixed well, apply to your face, in a circular motion, massaging it in for five minutes before rinsing it off and applying moisturizer.
* Egg Whites
Using a natural face mask, for blackheads, is an easy way to reduce blackheads. All you need are egg whites and a tissue. First, whisk one egg white and apply to your (clean) skin. Then layer on a tissue over your face (but not on your eyes or mouth) and apply another layer of egg white. Let the mask dry for about 20 minutes and then simply peel it off
* Green Tea
Green tea can help decrease your skin’s oil production and works as a great antioxidant. Mix one teaspoon of dry green tea leaves with one teaspoon of water and massage it into the affected areas, for three minutes. Then rinse it off and apply a moisturizer. This treatment can be used two or three days a week.
* Baking Soda and Water
Baking soda is such a common kitchen item that you might not realize you can eliminate blackheads with it. Baking soda, they say, helps to neutralize any pH imbalance your skin may have, as well as work as an exfoliate to remove dirt, oil and dead skin cells. To use this on your blackheads, mix two tablespoons of baking soda and two tablespoons of water to form a paste. Massage the paste onto your face, rinse off with warm water, and then be sure to moisturize afterward. This mixture could dry your skin, so don’t use it more than two or three days a week.
* Cinnamon and Lemon Juice
Mix a tablespoon of cinnamon powder, a pinch of turmeric and some lemon juice. Apply the paste on your face and let it rest for 10 minutes. Rinse it off with normal water. Cinnamon is known to improve blood circulation, tightens the skin pores, while lemon helps reduce the blackheads, whiteheads; due to its antibacterial properties, and leaves the skin healthy and glowing.
