Home Remedy for BlackheadsThese plugs in the pores can become large, dark spots on the face and without proper attention can become troublesome. Help can be found, however, in a home remedy for blackheads. A very popular home remedy for blackheads is to use a warm compress and apply pressure. Before applying the compress, wash your face thoroughly with a facial cleanser for your type of skin. After rinsing, pat your face dry and apply a warm compress to the affected area for fifteen minutes. When finished apply soft, even pressure to either side of the blackhead. Do not squeeze. If the blackhead does not move, try this one more time. If after the second time the blackhead does not come out, stop and try another method. Another home remedy for blackheads is pore strips that can be purchased at almost any drug store. The pore strips are applied to the affected area and peeled away. This can cause damage to the skin if not used as directed. Applying undiluted lemon juice to the affected areas three times a day is also a popular home remedy for blackheads or mixing a half tablespoon of boric acid powder with one and a half cup of hot water and applying it to the affected area. While blackheads are generally pain free, they can become infected if squeezed and irritated. If these symptoms persist, consult your physician or dermatologist. Also Read: |
