How to Get Rid of Blackheads - Home Remedies

How to get rid of blackheads by using home remedies has become a popular method for dealing with this skin problem. If you find that over the counter methods aren't working then looking at herbal remedies may be an option for you. Blackhead removal can be achieved using a number of home remedies.

Firstly, honey! Hard to believe I know but there are a lot of people out there who have had success using honey. It is in general something that's really good for your skin no matter if its blackheads, whiteheads or general acne. It's best applied when warm (not too warm) to the affected area and then leave it for 10 minutes. Wash it off and you will immediately feel the benefit. Honey acts almost like a natural peel and will get rid of blackheads. It will also leave you skin feeling nice and smooth and looking healthy.

Another home remedy for removing blackheads is baking soda and water. This is what's known as blackhead extraction method. The remedy is to mix equal parts water and baking soda together and then rub on to the skin for 10 minutes. Then wash the mixture off with warm water and you may just find some of your blackheads disappear too.

It seems that home remedies for getting rid of blackheads is endless. Epsom salt and iodine is another possibility! With this, get a bowl and create solution made from salt, iodine and warm water. Then take a cotton wad and soak it in the solution. What you want to do is to dab it on the area containing the blackheads and it will open up your pores. Finally use some sort of facial scrub for actually getting the blackheads out of your skin.

Potatoes is another home remedy for getting rid of blackheads. I'm not sure how well this one works it sounds like a bit of an old wives tale to me. Anyway the theory is you grate one potato and apply it to the affected area. This apparently works for blackheads, whiteheads and any other pimples on your skin.
