5 ways to Get Rid of Blackheads

Use benzoyl peroxide

 If you don’t have particularly sensitive skin that is not prone to drying out, seek out products that have benzoyl peroxide. This key ingredient breaks up the waxy clog so it loosens and comes out of the pore. This is the fastest working store-bought option, but it can be a little harsh on your skin. Benzoyl peroxide can be harsh on your skin, but it is also more effective than salicylic acid.

Try an egg white mask

The enzyme Lysozyme present in egg whites possess astringent properties that shrink the enlarged pores and reduce the accumulation of sebum on the skin surface. Proteins present in egg whites absorb excess oil and sebum from the skin and prevents the formation of blackheads. The vitamins and amino acids present in egg whites nourish the skin and promote the regeneration of skin cells.

Epsom Salt Cleansing Method

In this process, Epsom salt mixed with iodine will help to fight against the bacteria causing blackheads and clears the clogged pores to prevent the problem. Steam your face or wash it with warm water to open the pores. Pat the skin dry with a soft and clean towel or washcloth. Add 1 teaspoon of Epsom salt and 3 – 5 drops of iodine in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Stir it well and let the mix cool down to room temperature. Apply this mix on the affected skin areas with a cotton ball. Gently massage the applied areas for a minute or two. Let it sit for 5 – 10 minutes and rinse it with warm water.

Steam open your pores.

Before you think about squeezing or pulling them out, you need to really loosen the pores. Blackheads are very sticky and won’t come out easily, but by loosening the pores you give yourself the best chance of success. An excellent way to do this is to carefully hold your face at least a foot above a bowl of steaming water for ten to fifteen minutes. Place a towel over your head so the steam can't escape. You will feel the steam beginning to loosen your pores. You can also soak a washcloth in hot water and lay it over your face.

Clay Masks

Over-the-counter clay masks make fantastic blackhead remedies because of their oil absorbing properties. When applied once every fortnight for 10 to 15 minutes, clay masks will help to control the amount of oil on your skin. There are many types of cosmetic clays on the market, and some of the best include Bentonite, Dead Sea, Rhassoul, Red Moroccan, Green French, While Kaolin and Pink Kaolin clay.
