a person to have. Blackheads are small black spots that appear on the
face, and sometimes back, chest and neck, of the body. The first step to
knowing how to get rid of blackheads, is certainly to have an
understanding exactly what causes blackheads. Most skin problems such
as pimples and black heads are caused by oily skin. Other factors such as
excess pollution, extreme weather or improper hygiene can accelerate the
problem and cause it to worsen. While black heads are generally not
painful, they can be unsightly and annoying. There are many treatments
and medications that are often prescribed for blackheads and it maybe
difficult and confusing to know which ones are the best for you. It is
important to remember when choosing a remedy that everyone's skin
type is different. Therefore, a remedy that works perfectly for one person
may not have the same effect on another. Some of the most effective
remedies are actually home treatments for blackheads. Home treatments
for black heads are usually easy to make and use, and are cheaper than
buying a costly ointment or medication. Some of these home treatments
for blackheads are newly discovered, and others have been passed down
through many generations and years. Home Remedies For Blackheads
Lemon is a popular ingredient in many home remedies and treatments.

suggest applying lemon juice to the areas where black heads are present
two to three times a day. You could also try mixing lemon with ground
cinnamon, ground drumstick pods, or groundnut oil. These mixes can help
to cleanse the skin, remove blackheads and prevent new blackheads form
forming. Another lemon based remedy you could try is a face scrub made
from salt, honey, lemon and yogurt. Apply this scrub to the face and scrub
for five minutes, or you could apply fresh lemon juice and milk to you face
and use it as a natural face wash. Wash all scrubs and applications off with
warm water for the best results. Of course, lemon is not the only
ingredient that can help to cure your black heads. Epsom
salt, iodine, fenugreek (methi), radish seeds, turmeric, green
tea, honey, eggs, cinnamon, potatoes, rose water and even almonds, can
all be used in home treatments for blackheads to help treat and remove
blackheads. With any treatments that are applied to the face, it is very
important to go slow and act with care. Facial skin is generally more
delicate and sensitive, and many of these treatments should not be
applied too near the eyes, nose, mouth etc.

turmeric powder can be mixed and applied to the desired areas. Leave for
about ten minutes and then remove with warm water. You can also mix
turmeric with neem leaves and apply it to your face, back, neck, or chest
to help remove blackheads. Honey is another wonder natural ingredient
that you will often find in many home remedies for blackheads. Honey can
be mixed with cinnamon powder to create a thick paste. This paste can be
spread onto your face and left there overnight. Then you must rinse the
paste off the next morning. Doing this for several weeks produces fantastic
results. You can even just apply warm honey to your blackheads and rinse
off after several minutes. The honey can help to soothe and cleanse the
skin. Steaming is another action that can be very beneficial. It helps to
open the pores and helps the black heads come out more easily.It is best
not to try to pop or squeeze out blackheads as this can lead to
scarring, sores and even infections. Facial scrubs and packs are a much
better option as not only will they help to remove the blackheads, but also
they are excellent for the rest of your face.
