Blackheads give unhealthy look of your skin. They most often appear on the face, back and ears because these locations include many sweat glands.
Blackheads are caused by poor diet, oily skin, clogged glands or pores, and oily hair.
When your pores become clogged with excess sebum and dead skin cells, blackheads are formed. The difference between a blackhead and a whitehead is in the fact whether the pore is open or closed. When the pore is open, the excess of sebum or skin cells oxidizes and oxygen turns into black.
Also, blackheads are not caused by dirt. So, scrubbing the face like crazy is not the best option to eliminate the boring blackheads. Moreover, this can make it worse because your skin will get dry, causing creation of more oil in order to make up for everything that was removed.
Remove blackheads with this simple recipe:
There is one simple and very effective remedy that will help you get rid of the boring blackheads.
You will need:
– Half a lemon (which can be juiced)
– 3 drops of honey
Drop the honey on the lemon, rub it all over your face. Try to focus more on the problematic areas. Leave it for 5-7 minutes and wash with cold water afterwards.
You will notice the positive results immediately. Do this twice weekly.
How does it work?
Lemon has acidic properties and that helps in the removal of the dead skin, allowing new growth of skin. This way the pores will be unclogged, the skin clear and the blackheads reduced.
Honey is a natural antibiotic and is good for removal of dirt from skin pores. Additionally, honey hydrates and tightens the skin pores and gives a clearer complexion. It contains antioxidants, antiseptic, and antibacterial characteristics that destroy germs or clears the clog pores.
This natural remedy can be different for different skin types. It depends on your skin type, how often you will use the remedy. Try it 2 to 3 times in a week to see its effect.
