Blackheads treatment 

The most successful way to get rid of blackheads is to start exfoliating regularly. Make your own exfoliating scrub with sugar, olive oil and crushed almonds mixed to a paste-like consistency. Roll this over your skin for about 10 to 15 minutes and you will actually see fresh skin revealed as the dead skin layers slough off.


If you have oily skin, replace the almonds with oatmeal and follow the same pattern. Use a mild astringent soap to wash afterwards. It is also advisable to cut down on your general oil consumption to improve the condition of oily skin.




Make a face pack with dried and ground orange peels and plain, unflavoured, unsweetened yogurt. Apply and leave on till it dries, then wash off with mild soap. Adding a few drops of lime juice to this scrub will help in sanitizing and disinfecting the area as well. You can also have a quick clean-up with a tomato chopped into two and rubbed vigorously all over your face. This will deep cleanse your skin and help you to effectively get rid of impurities like blackheads. Make it a point to drink at least 20 glasses of water everyday. This will give you fresh and healthy skin. Do not scratch or tweeze out blackheads, as this procedure may lead to scarring.
