The riding of Blackheads

There are many ways to get rid of those nasty blackheads. Here are a few different methods.

edit Recommended StepsUse a mild exfoliate to remove cells and expose
Pat your face
Place a slightly warm compress on your face for approximately 10-15 minutes in order to soften the blackhead, making it easier to remove.
Pat your face again.
Place a cotton ball on the tip of each finger to avoid slipping, which could tear the skin and cause further damage.
Gently apply even pressure to both sides of the blackhead by pushing down, then up around the blemish. You're trying to apply the pressure from *underneath* the blackhead.




AHAsUse creams containing AHA's (Alpha Hydroxyl Fruit acids) like glycol-creams that will clear away any dead skin cells and "expose" the blackhead. Use the AHA's every 4 days or so.

Lime Juice Make a lotion with equal parts of lime juice, almond oil and glycerin and apply on the face. It will not only cure blackheads but the discoloring spots on the face too.

Massage it into your whole face if you like. Add more oil or toothpaste as necessary.
Wait about 5 minutes, then rinse your face thoroughly with hot water and a clean washcloth.
