How To Get Rid Of Whiteheads & Blackheads?


                    Whiteheads are tiny, white raised spots and are caused by the accumulation of hardened sebum or oil in the pores of the skin when a sebum blocks a hair follicle deeper in the skin.
                    A Blackhead results when dead skin cells and sebum block a hair follicle near the surface of the skin. Blackheads causes the oily skin pores to be enlarged and the texture becomes coarse and rough. When a pore is fully blocked, a pimple can result. Blackheads cause acne.


  
  Home Remedies To Remove Blackheads & Whiteheads:

  • Steam your face for one to two minutes and then use a natural exfoliator to scrub off the blackheads and whiteheads gently. This is one of the simplest and best home remedy for blackheads.
  • Prepare a face scrub using crushed almonds and gram flour i.e. besan to exfoliate the affected area. This is another blackhead removal at home technique that is quite popular.
  • A mixture of one egg white and a tea spoon of honey applied on the face can not only help prevent blackheads, but also help your skin from getting tremendously greasy.
  • Mint toothpaste is considered to be very helpful in clearing blackheads. Apply some on your nose and leave it there until it’s dry. Then, wipe it off using a wet washcloth.
  • Apply some juice of aloe vera to the affected area. This is supposed to soothe as well as heal the area.
  • Baking soda mixed with water can also help. Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes before washing it off.
  • Applying milk to the affected area and gently scrubbing the blackheads using a towel may help eliminate them.
  • To prevent blackheads, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. A minimum five servings of fruits and vegetables included in the diet will help keep your skin healthy, thus preventing skin problems like blackheads. All blackhead home remedies should include a healthy diet.
  • Tomatoes have natural antiseptic properties that dry up blackheads. Take a small tomato, peel and mash it, then apply it over the blackheads before going to bed. Leave it overnight and then wash it with clean water in the morning.
