Blackheads are one of the more annoying forms of skin problems for teenagers and people of all ages. A lot of the time people who don’t usually get spots still have blackheads. Scientifically known as the open comedo, they form in the pores as excessive oils secrete from them, oxidizing in to a black “plug” on the outside of the skin. They generally form on and around the nose or in the ears. As well as commercial products you can also use homemade face scrub for blackheads.
Homemade face scrub for blackheads can consist of many things and usually the only basis for such remedies are old wives tales or myths. This being said there are some scrubs you can make at home that are proven to work and give you nice glowing skin with no blackheads.
First and foremost before using any scrub is to drink lots of water every day. Water keeps the body and skin hydrated, reducing the clogging up of pores. You can look at it as diluting the oil in your skin.
Below are some homemade methods for clearing blackheads:
- Although never marketed towards spots, crushing up a Vitamin E tablet and mixing it with water, then applying to your face over night is effective. Adding honey to the area in the morning for 10 minutes may also help.
Simple plain yoghurt mixed with ground up cucumber is known to reduce oiliness around the affected area, preventing future blackheads.- Another oil reducer is ground up avocado and coffee. The coffee invigorates the skin due to the caffeine.
This is just a few examples of homemade face scrub for blackheads. There are literally tones of different combinations of regular household items that can thoroughly clean the skin and prevent spots and blackheads.
