Naturally removing blackheads at home [duplicate]

Question

I have bad blackheads around my nose. I don't want to get chemical treatments.

Is there any way to get rid of them naturally at home?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You'll need a blackhead remover tool like this https://www.thebodyshop.com/en-gb/face/accessories/blackhead-remover/p/p000947 if you don't want to squeeze with your fingernails.

Wash your face thoroughly and then steam it over a bowl of very hot or boiling water for a couple of minutes or so. Dry your face, use a mirror to see what you're doing, and use the removal tool or your (cleaned and scrubbed) fingers to apply pressure to each one, preferably without damaging the surrounding skin. If you live somewhere hot and humid, you won't need to steam your face - the object of that is simply to soften the skin and open up the pores, which happens anyway in humid, hot climates.

Afterwards, wash the area with soap, use cold water to rinse it off, pat dry and apply a light moisturizer.

Answer 2

I would suggest you to use certain home made remedies for this as described below:

• Grind tender leaves of guava, mango and pomegranate to a fine paste and apply over affected part regularly.
• Grind Red ixora flowers and petals of rose, add some turmeric to the paste and apply regularly.
• Burn out lemon's outer skin, grind and mix it with buttermilk, apply regularly.
• Neem leaf paste along with turmeric is also another good option.

After applying any one of the above pastes, perform a clean wash to the surface.Repeat the steps for 10-20 days until you find changes.
