How to Rid Yourself of Blackheads

Picking and squeezing the skin to remove blackheads or whiteheads, when done unprofessionally, can cause infection to spread deeply into the skin and turn into large cysts.

Here are some useful techniques which are essential for keeping your skin free from bacteria, dead skin cells and to remove blackheads naturally and safely.

•Tea tree oil is a best way to treat blackheads. Dab tea tree oil onto the affected areas. Use tea tree oil in a diluted form, not pure. It will kill the germs which make you prone to developing blackheads and stop further accumulation of blackheads.

•Steaming is a more popular way to remove blackheads. Pour some boiling water into a bowl. Then, cover your head with a towel and keep your face above the bowl, and breathe deeply. Do this for five minutes, until your face is wet from steam. This helps unclog your pores. Removal of blackheads by this method is quite easy.

•Make a solution of lime juice, almond oil and glycerin. Apply this solution on the face. This will surely prevent appearance of blackheads and spots on the face.
