Blackheads and whiteheads are a pain. But don't be discouraged. Even if your pores are larger, they can return to normal size and your skin can get clearer. Here are some remedies that have worked for me.
Home remedy for blackheads
Step 1: Get a small bowl
Step 2: Find some baking soda
Step 3: Pour ½ cup of baking soda in a bowl, mix it with crushed oatmeal, 1 tablespoon of water, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil
Step 4: Massage this gently over all skin that has blackheads. Scrub for 30-60 seconds.
This mixture works particularly well for blackheads on your nose. But, if you don't like oatmeal, or are allergic, try substituting apricot kernels. You can find them at your local health food store.
Home remedy for whiteheads:
#1: Try opening up your pores by steaming you face. Pour hot water in a bowl or in your basin. If in a bowl, heat the water in your microwave for about 3-5 minutes and place your face over the bowl for 10 to 15 seconds. Do this three times. But, be careful not to scald your face. Take some ice cubes out of the fridge after doing this and rub them over your face.
#2: Scrub your face with baking soda and lemon juice. This will help your pores
The other best option is to try an all natural, deep penetrating scrub. The best that I have discovered through personal use is No More Shame Scrub. It works extremely fast because it uses organic sugar cane and essential oils as its base. This exfoliates and smoothes the skin wonderfully and removes blackheads and whiteheads by controlling oil secretion and killing bacteria. Depending on how many blackheads or whiteheads you have, you can see significant results within 3 days to a week. It is found at Beauty 4 Ashes Christian Health & Beauty's website.
