Remove blackheads at home with 3 home remedies

Blackheads are basically skin pores that get clogged with dead skin and oil, which in turn produce bumps, but they can be easily removed at home with the help of these easy remedies.

Green Tea

The benefits of green tea need not be emphasised. When applied on the face, the antioxidants in it help to remove impurities and clear blackheads.

All you need to do is mix a tablespoon of dry green leaves with water and make a thick paste. Apply it for about 15-20 minutes on your affected areas and rinse it off with lukewarm water.

Tomatoes

This is a one-ingredient remedy and can work wonders for your blackheads. You just need to apply tomato pulp over affected areas before going to bed and rinse it off the next morning. Tomatoes also have antibacterial properties that dry up blackheads. Plus, tomato is a great exfoliator, and its acidic properties help in declogging pores.

Cinnamon Powder

This remedy can be used to prevent and as well as remove blackheads. Start with mixing a tablespoon each of cinnamon powder and lemon juice. You can also add a pinch of turmeric powder to it. Apply this paste on your face for 10-15 minutes, and rinse it off with normal water. Cinnamon helps to tighten the pores and improve blood circulation. Lemon juice is loaded with antibacterial properties that help to fight acne, blackheads and whiteheads.
