Blackheads are natural oil your skin produces, which collects and hardens in your pores, and when getting in touch with the world it becomes dark, hence the name.

Make sure you clean you face (especially the T zone) carefully on a regular basis. You can minimize their appearance, but it has been my expoerience that you can't avoid them completely. Here's a list of natural ways of doing your best:

Fenugreek

Natural beauty experts claim this is one of the most powerful anti-blackhead herbs. Make a paste out of water and fresh crushed fenugreek leaves. Apply this paste to your face for 10 – 15 minutes and rinse with warm water. Repeat every night before bed for a blackhead free face.

 

Honey

Warm some honey and place it on trouble areas for 10 – 15 minutes. Wash off. Honey is a well known and effective method of removing blackheads from the skin.

 

Baking Soda & Water

Combine 3 tablespoons of baking soda with 3 tablespoons of water. Rub this solution on your skin for a few minutes, and rinse with warm water for effective blackhead extraction.

 

Lemon Juice

Use lemon juice directly from the lemon on areas affected with blackheads two to three times a day. The juice will help tighten your pores and make the environment of the face less prone to blackheads. Limes will work just as well if no lemons are available.

 

Rose & Oatmeal Mask

This treatment is great to get rid of the blackheads you already have and prevent future break outs. Mix oatmeal powder with rose water to make a paste. Spread the paste on your face with fingertips and allow it to sit for 15 minutes before rinsing. Focus on the T-zone and other problems areas like the chin. Rinse this blackhead removing mask off with cold water. The cold water closes the newly cleaned pores, protecting against future blackheads.

 

Potatoes

Grated raw potatoes can be used to treat all kinds of skin problems including pimples, wrinkles, whiteheads and blackheads. Pack potatoes directly on problem areas to extract blackheads.

 

Radish Seeds

A paste made out of ground radish seeds and water applied to the face right on the site of a blackhead is an effective blemish remover. Leave the paste on for about 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

Steaming your face is amazing but, you can only do it atleast twice a week otherwise you'll loose your natural oils. But, what u can do is pour warm water over a flannel hold it on your face for about 2 minutes until you feel your face getting hot then clean it with a black head scrub (gently) and then cleanse then do a final rinse with cold water to close your pours. also, dont forget to tone! alot of people do but toning is more nesicarry then cleansing. T-zone nose pour strips are amazing because you can use them all over your face they work amazingly on your chin, but from experience t-tree nose pour strips are the best for your nose.

 

Natural remedies:

Honey and sugar scrub. lossens them which is what u need to do before you do anything. or leave honey on your face for 15 minutes for a nice glow and it'll get rid of any bacteria that causes spots or black heads.
