Home Remedies for Blackheads

Blackheads are follicles that have wider opening than the normal. They are also known as open comedones and are often caused by over active sebaceous glands. Blackheads appear on the face, back, chest and other parts that have sebaceous glands. The blackheads are plugged with sebum and sloughed off cells and undergoes a chemical reaction that results in the oxidation of melanin. The residue formed in the follicle is responsible for providing black colour to the blackheads.

Remedy for Blackheads

I have been on the gin and raisins regime for over three months now and ALL of my inflamatory pain has gone away. Even my painful knee that I wore a brace on for years. I thought it was a joke but got tired of taking drugs and said what the heck! Wow! No longer in pain and I have more "pep in my step". Less than an ounce of gin per day, I can handle that!

#3 - gail - 10/19/2007 - 06:44

Remedy for Blackheads

Take 2 eggs and separate the yolks and keep the egg white, apply egg white liquid directly to face where blackheads are present or use facial cotton and leave on face. For both techniques, leave on face for about 30-45 minutes. The egg white will harden so please dont move your face, better if you use under a fan.

#4 - Miguel - 11/06/2007 - 09:10

...heat a plaster and place it for 15 minutes on the area..

that would solve your problem..

I have found that wiping your face with a Banana does wonders. You can also look at it afterwords and see all the dirt and toxins that it cleaned off your face.

#8 - tx_dove - 06/19/2008 - 14:04

if you apply tea tree oil
(100% is best) on your skin
at night after cleansing your face
with a mild cleanser, and sleep
on it, your zits will be gone within
a few days. blackheads usually
take a few extra days. and it
doesnt overdry. i wish i had known
about this ages ago. its fantastic.

#9 - joanna - 06/25/2008 - 23:28

but it still didnt work >-(

#17 - Panduh Bear - 10/12/2008 - 21:30

#16 your retarted. thats gross.

on a more serious note.
dont wash your face with soap. wash your face with mud masks that you can buy at the store, or you can make your own out of clay that you can find in the sea. also wash your hair more often, and keep the hair out of your face.

#18 - miranda - 10/16/2008 - 23:28

steam for about 15 to 20 mint ..use brown sugar, honey and apple sider vinegar ..it can be used for your body as well just like all other scrub and you'll feel the magic right after the rist wash..... ;-)

#23 - Ankita - 11/15/2008 - 22:58

I used a pore strip which only removed the yellow layer of gunk but the black stuff was still there. So I put some lemon juice and honey on my nose and it didn't remove them all but it washed away a bit of dirt... I'm still trying to find the perfect remedy - but so far this is good.

#24 - Kat - 11/28/2008 - 20:43

Take a tablespoon of Knox gelatin and a tablespoon of milk, mix together, and put them in the microwave for ten seconds. Use a cosmetic brush to spread across affected area. Let it sit and harden for about ten minutes. Peel off and you will see that your blackheads are gone!

#25 - Emily - 12/07/2008 - 13:02

crack open an egg and use the inner skin of the eggshell and place enough of the skin to cover up the blackhead. this draws it up until its ready to either burst on its own or for you to do the job. also dab with a q-tip a bit of rubbing alcohol, then peroxide, and finally a tad bit of sea salt which will help with the drying it up process. just had one on my nose and by using these methods, it only lasted the weekend.

#26 - Beanz - 12/09/2008 - 10:27

#32 - gina - 01/30/2009 - 09:59

#33 - Jass - 02/01/2009 - 03:38

#34 - sam - 03/05/2009 - 04:00

#35 - YR - 03/11/2009 - 11:41

Dont do the baking soda and water!!!! I now have a red, burning blotch on my face. Oh, and by the way, I still have blackheads!!!!

#36 - patty - 03/21/2009 - 07:56

Maybe its just me but I tried the honey and it made my face worse with blackheads along with other pimples!

#37 - val - 04/03/2009 - 23:34

I tried the baking soda and milk and I also ended up with a red and burning face for hours. Face feels and looks better today but blackheads are more noticable. I usually do pore cleanser strips after a hot shower and it works better than any remedy I have tried. Ran out so I might try steaming and then egg whites with lemon. Hopefully it works.

#38 - Mo - 04/05/2009 - 10:59

dont use lemon jucie it burned part of skin! :-[]

#39 - peelee - 04/17/2009 - 15:42

apply cucumber juice every alternate day.it will help you remove blackheads over a time.

#40 - mona - 04/19/2009 - 06:16

just tried the squashed banana method and I love it . while applying it I felt my skin totally freshed and I stayed with the banana mask on for like 20 min . After it has dried I washed my face with warm water. My skin feels brighter and softer, and as far as for the blackheads : they really did become less darker , so I guess I'll continue using the squashed banana and see if these ugly things will goooo

#41 - souad - 04/25/2009 - 00:39

I once tried the tomato paste on my face .. it burned a loot even though I have an oily skin and the next day pimples were covering my face..

#42 - souad - 04/25/2009 - 00:44

i have horrible acne and no matter how many remedys i try none of them work. DONT DO THE TOMATO, LEMON, OR BAKING POWDER remedy those make your face burn, increase acne, or cause an itchy blotchy spot. i am in the process of trying the egg liner one. ( take the inside of the egg, there is "skin" there, place over acne (anytype) and leave for 2, 3 minutes. roll off.)

#43 - a girl - 04/26/2009 - 17:24

steam is the best way to minimize blackheads. dont use orange,lemon or any other thing, it may worse ur skin.

#44 - Sahib - 05/11/2009 - 05:13

steam your face for 5-10 minutes
pat dry with clean towel
mix warm honey, nutmeg, lime zest and juice
apply the mixture and leave on face for 30 minutes.
it makes your skin smooth, soft, helps heal acne scars
and helps with blackheads. Use continously for a week and you'll see a BIG difference in your skin. Trust me its amazing!!

#45 - yo momma - 05/23/2009 - 20:16

take a cloth the size of your face and soak it in water as hot as you can stand it. Put it on your face until the cloth cools. Then wash your face with nutrogena blackhead remover. Hope this helps, it worked for me!!!!

#46 - horsey girl!! - 05/25/2009 - 14:46

Ive been dealing with acne for a while and it really bothers me having it.Whats the best way to get red of most of it?? >-(

#47 - c-c - 05/26/2009 - 19:13

i've always just used biore pore strips every couple of days (they tell u not to do it more than once every 3 days). however, my mom told me one of her friends said that elmer's glue pretty much works the same way..ya know how glue peels after it dries? also, i can see how someone suggested aloe vera, it does the same thing too...maybe anything that sticks and peels? lol

#48 - Cchica - 05/26/2009 - 22:26

you can put lemon juice on your face for 10 minutes, HOWEVER this is a once in two weeks or for the most once a week formula. there is a good chemical reaction but if used to often it will dry out your face and that's not good pimple wise, can you get pimples if ur face is too dry or too oily. most effective for my was parsley and cinnamon boiled in milk and placed oon my faced for 15 mins a day. i saw an article on it in my local papers and didn't think it would work to be honest, but it, quite well

#49 - lola - 05/26/2009 - 22:30

i meant you can, not can you. also for pimples (i know this is a blackhead convention) you can spot treat with honey mixed in cinnamon. it is the most gentle and effective home made remedy. actually you just google it and see the many sites that agree. it is the least likely to leave you with a blackhead

#50 - lola - 05/26/2009 - 22:39

Some useful home remedies for blackheads that you can try:-

a)Wash your face using warm or cool water.I mean "warm water",not hot water.

b)Use sorbitol or glycerin soap such as neutrogena to wash your face twice a day because it is gentle in your skin.

c)When you want to make up,use hypo-allergenic brand.

d)Always remember to keep your pillow and also your towel clean.

e)Honey is not only good in taste but also good for blackheads.You can apply honey in affected area in your face as it is more safer than any creams available in the market.

f)Drink 8 glasses of water daily as it is good for your health.

g)Last but no the least is your daily eating habit.Eat healthy foods such as veggies,fruits,whole wheat foods and nuts and avoid oily foods.Fast foods and junk foods is a big no.

Hope these will do the tricks....

Does anyone use ProActiv? It doesn't work for me at all. Rofl. To get rid of black heads, I use the clean and clear blackhead scrub. It works really well if you use it every night.

#52 - Madeline - 06/01/2009 - 16:12

ive tried many of these remedies. not all of them work but hopefully the egg skin one n the sugar n water paste will work. also amma try the banana one. mamy ppl have said that thats a good one :-D

i heard that if u have a pimple to use toothpaste it will dry the pimple and then pop but im not sure it works?

#58 - sophia - 07/13/2009 - 15:44

If the lemon juice is burning your skin try adding water to it . . .

#59 - GoodTip - 07/17/2009 - 08:34

I tried most of these and none of them worked but I tried avocado mixed up with olive oil. It left my skin soft an reduced the blackheads.
Some people complained that they got many pimples after they used one of the remedies. Thats supposed to happen. If you keep using the method it will clean your face completely ;-)

#60 - Jasmine - 07/20/2009 - 13:23

Well, my skin has a schedule. Here is what I do.

Monday= morning, I wash it with clean and clear foaming astringent, and warm water. Then sometime later during the day I apply an egg white mask for a half hour and wash it off with warm water. At night, I go with the Clearsil Ultra (which gives you clear skin in 3 MONTHS..not days), then Clearasil foaming pads, St. Ives astringent, then Clean and Clear stuff again, which I recomend, it sucks the oil right out of your face.

Tuesday= Morning is Clean and Clear foaming astringent, then I repeat monday nights regimen for tuesday night

Wenesday=monday

thursday=tuesday

friday=tuesday

on weekends I repeat trhe tuesday's. And if need I use banana then aply band aid after banana mask has dried. 10 minutes later bye bye blackheads. Toothpaste for pimples also works after a couple days (no gel paste)

#61 - Brianna - 08/04/2009 - 22:26

wash your face regularly...
drink lots of water...
avoid constipation problems.. add green vegatables and fruits to the daily food. Apply cucmber, papaya and banana paste and leave it for 10 minutes, and wash your face.. It works.

#62 - Sudhakar - 08/06/2009 - 11:43

#58: yes the toothpaste can dry out the pimple but you have to be VERY careful because it can also dry/burn the skin.. (i have a scar from trying this and doing it wrong once)... if you use toothpaste use only a light amount and don't apply it for long. wash it off in like a few min...

#63 - mercury - 08/07/2009 - 18:20

hi i have an acne problem i tried a lot of above mentioned remedies but they didnot workand i have also a problem of black heads so tell me the the best home remedy for the removal of these two problems
:oops:

#64 - a girl - 08/10/2009 - 02:43

NO! Don't EVER use Tea Tree Oil at full strength on your face! It MUST be diluted in a carrier oil, or I wet a cotton ball first and THEN put the TTO on it. It does do a phenomenal job of keeping the skin clean and refreshed if used PROPERLY!

#65 - CMC - 08/10/2009 - 18:08

i use Australian Tea Tree Oil (it's 75% rubbing alcohol) to dry out any acne/pimples that I have and completely remove dirt, I apply it with a wash cloth, like an astringent, then rinse my face with warm water and wash it with a mild facial soap and apply oil-reducing moisturizer. I have done the egg white mask, and i feel like it is effective, but it can get expensive if you do it daily.

One thing is for certain, scraping your face with credit cards will remove the blackheads, however you will have bruises and scratches all over your face and your face will be puffy for about 24 hours.

So... be careful who you get your ideas from.

#66 - shay - 08/15/2009 - 17:33

I tried a masque of Royal Jelly with bee pollen and mixxed with baking powder and lemon juice- thick mask.... wore it for about fifteen minutes. Sponged off with soap and water lightly.... honey is so good for your skin, Loved - twas marvelous.

#67 - Spectator - 08/15/2009 - 23:58

OH MY GOODNESS!!! PLEASE DON'T LISTEN TO ALL OF THESE REMEDIES WITHOUT GETTING A 2ND 3RD AND 4TH OPINION!!! IF IT'S NATURAL.. SUCH AS BANANA, HONEY, TOMATO, ETC... USE IT--BUT DON'T SMEAR YOUR FACE.. TEST ON A LESS SENSITIVE AREA LIKE YOUR NOSE BEFORE U TRUST THAT SOMEONE ELSES RESULT WILL WORK THE SAME FOR YOU. WATER IS THE BEST SKIN PURIFIER.. ALSO DIET IS IMPORTANT. I "EAT CLEAN" [THE EAT CLEAN DIET BY TOSCA RENO]. THAT HAS AIDED IN PREVENTING NEW BREAKOUTS. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF COMING UP WITH A NATURAL REMEDY THAT WILL BE 100 PERCENT SUCCESSFUL AT REMOVING BLACKHEADS.. WHEN I FIND IT I WILL POST.

#68 - TRUTHBTOLD - 08/20/2009 - 11:37

Elmer's glue. It works like a biore strip but is a heck of a lot cheaper. It doesn't burn your skin. You peel it off after about 5-10 minutes and you can see the results.
Try putting warm water on the area before you do it and then dry. That will open the pores better.

#69 - Suggestion - 08/21/2009 - 16:53

"you are what you eat"
so your diet is your key to beautiful, acne and black head free (also dark circles under eyes free) skin.

1) eat a lot of almond - great for prevention and cure for acne, blackheads, your brain cells and your hair! plus it DOES NOT BURN YOUR SKIN :)

2) drink lots of water, this keeps your skin tight, smooth and wrinkle free, along with acne free.

3) cucumbers, works great ontop of your skin, and when you eat them.

4) egg whites, but not too oily if fried.

if you eat these and natural things daily, your acne and black heads will go away faster than all the trouble of experiments on your skin.

#70 - justanote - 08/22/2009 - 21:35

all those ideas sound really crazy but hey have to give it a try.

#71 - destiny - 08/24/2009 - 02:31

One part Rubbing Alcohol and One part Baby Powder. Use as a mask. Once dried gently rinse face with luke warm water and wash face with a mild cleanser such as Neutrogena.

#72 - Believer - 08/28/2009 - 01:25

i just tried the squashed banana and it really made my face feel fresh and the blackheads looked like they lightened up

#73 - horse_lover - 08/28/2009 - 19:07

do not leave things with a lot of acid (lemon baking powder tomato ect.) on skin any longer then five minutes after you use a product take a warm cloth and leave on your face for another five hope this info helps :)

#74 - luvmyskin - 09/10/2009 - 19:32

#76 - meee(: - 10/01/2009 - 20:28

Try Apricot scrub 3 times a week. It will help in blackheads removal

#77 - Acne Treatment - Skinb5.com - 10/06/2009 - 07:31

cello tape does work on the nose, but you need a strong one, like duct tape, but not too strong you don't want to stretch your nose out.

#78 - cello tape - 10/09/2009 - 03:50

Banana is a very good one! I used it one night and squashed a bit of banana on my face after I had a shower and then waited till it dried up. Then I washed my face with warm water. It leaves your face fresh for days. I think it's really effective! I don't know if it removed my blackheads cos I only used it once, I will use it again for sure. :-D

#79 - Sparkly-Star - 10/11/2009 - 16:59

I have recently started seeing blackheads on the sides of my back, beneath my bra strap area and i think it is somehow related with the suffocation of the skin, and keeping dead skin cells and dirt/oil trapped on the surface...probably will try the banana but cleaning with cottonball/alcohol removed more dirt than i could have imagined was there, so we will see if that helps...it reminds me of clearasil pads when i was younger:)

#80 - yogagrl - 10/15/2009 - 19:35

Does the lemons juice really work? :-o

#81 - person-you-don't-know - 10/24/2009 - 21:28

St Ives Apricot Scrub twice a day keeps skin really clean but make sure to moisturise properly!

#82 - Kristine - 11/03/2009 - 16:54

I was also suffering from blackhead in my nose problem.i started cleaning nose properly before going to bed with light hand massage and i also tried apricot scrub twice/thrice a week.....Now i got rid of blackheads...

#84 - help - 11/29/2009 - 13:28

Using cello tape really works! I used it all over my face (though it was kind of hard to take it off) and I looked at all of the dead skin cells stuck to it! Yuk! But it was obvious that it was very effective. My face was a lot smoother, and it was a bit red for a few minutes, but it felt refreshing when I took off the tape! Also, MY BLACK HEADS WERE ALL GONE! I was also using a cheapo tape from the pound shop. So this is probably one of the most cheapest, and effective black head remover and skin exfoliater on the market! :- YAY!D ;-)

I read in a magizine to rub some Elmers glue on the blackheads and let dry, then peel the dried glue off the area...Not sure if it works but its worth a try!

PLS TELL ME HOW REMOVE BLACK HEADS

#89 - HEMA - 12/20/2009 - 09:42

For me the best remedy is just every night you steam your face and you add some mint oil to the boiling water. then you gently squeeze out as many blackheads as possible. then you take a new bowl of water and add salt to it. you don need much water and the mixture shouldn't be too diluted. (do not let the salt dissolve) . take cotton, dip it in the salt water and dab it onto your face. the salt sucks up all the oil and exfoliates.. this helped me. :)

MIRACLE FOR BLACK HEADS
USE steam every alternate day and clean your face with The Body Shop's Aloe Calming Toner (ACT)every night with cotton pads, before going to bed.

If you want a glowing skin, put honey on your face for 20 mins after cleaning your skin with ACT. Wash with warm water and then rub skin gently with an ice cube to close the pores.

You will see amazing results very quickly... :-D

Ok, this is important:

You've all heard it before; You are what you eat.
- It's a fact!
Fresh fruit and vegetables cleanses your body, therefore also your skin. Putting on all those 'miracle' products that the beauty/ medical industry produce is not helping you, neither your skin. It is slowly destroying you - inside and out.
They often contain mineral oil, which suffocates your skin, not allowing it to breath. Pore blocking=more blackheads, and unpurities.
If you wonder why your creams isnt working, or why your skin isn't improving, there is a big chance it's because of those skincare products you use. They can be dangerous, and contain lots of chemicals.

Point: Put natural products on your skin.

Also: Drink lots of water! (8 glasses or more) - like fruits and vegetables, it really cleanses your body. Once in a while, add some freshly cut lemon drops !
Get used to drinking Green Tea on a daily basis. It contains lots of antioxydants and vitamins.
It's superhealthy, and you will actually get much clearer and better skin from drinking it. (try to add some lemon here too)
---------

I haven't tried so many home remedies, but those I've tried work so much better then any other I've ever tried.

Home remedies :

Nightly lemon care ----
1) Cut a lemon in half, and put some juice on damp skin. You decide the amount that fits for you. (not too much though as it will make your skin sticky)
2) Go to sleep! Wash off in the morning ~

This really brightens your skin + removes scars and discolorations. Naturally your blackheads will fade away

Note: Yes, it will sting a lot at first (this is because your skin isn't used to it yet), but trust me it will go away! This really helps on my pimples and blackheads.
- doing this reguraly = no pain

Green tea daily toner ------
1) For this you will need green tea. Any green tea will do, but organic is great. Make some green tea and put in the fridge or let it cool.
2) After cleaning your face with a natural face cleanser, apply the green tea all over your face, with a cotton pad. Do not cleanse this one out :-)

3) Put on your moisturizer.

This will reduce rednesses and even out your skin tone.
It will also reduce blackheads and pimples and over time you will be clear.
- I do this everyday, love it

Fresh lemon toner
1) With a cotton pad, dab on to your face using light pressure with your fingers. Applying to problem areas first, then the rest.
2) Wait 2 minutes - brush your teeth, eat a banana or whatever you like
3) Wash off and moisturize!

Now you are feeling clean and fresh, and the improving of your skin is starting ~

And one last thing:

> Using extra virgin olive oil as a moisturizer

Olive moisture
1) After cleansing and toning your skin, apply a small amount extra virgin olive oil all over your face. You wanna apply it lightly so it can sink in on itself.
- Don't apply too much, but not too little either!

This is great for night time. Your skin will have a healthy glow the next morning ~

Olive oil is very good for your skin !

- Using oils, like extra virgin olive oil and such, will not make your skin more oily. It may seem that way at first but if so, it's only temporarly.
Once it has sunken in to your skin, it will not look or feel oily. Then you have applied too much!

Remember, oils like olive and coconut is good because of the right type of fat.

The key is to not put on too much of anything. Don't rub too hard on your skin, and be gentle!

General rule:
Don't put anything on your skin that you wouldn't eat.

Hope this helped
:-)

apply coconut(olive) oil to the whole body & head and soak for an hour regularly every week, get the skin right and let the toxins in your body come out. Treating only the face will not help, the whole skin even the scalp has to be treated. olive makes the skin too soft so coconut is best. Stop using man made stuff like soaps and other shampoos, deodrants, sun tans. Use the herbal Meera like mixtures(turmeric / ambe halad). Remember your skin is also drinking in everything that you put on it. Rule is if you cant eat it dont put it on your skin. Avoid Chrolrinated water for bath and swimming pools. Eat good food , not processed food like maggies, white rice/sugar , maida. Should be organic with no pesticides and fertilizers used. Regularly consume some pure oil like olive, pure cow ghee (warm). This will remove the bacteria inside rather expell them out. You must work out a sweat not by steaming but by running , this will set up the deep cleaning process. Drink warm water and take isabgol at night, this will clear the colon and form a protective layer on the inner lining and prevent rich oily food from being absorbed into the blood. Purify the blood with regular lime juice, a dose of neem, septalin. Remember to fast completely for a day for the cleansing to happen. If you eat then the body starts working towards digestion functon. Fast completely to allow the body to focus on other cleansing activities. Body knows, allow it to do it. Pump less chemicals and it will automatically cleanse. Exposure to Sun is a must for D vit generation. Face is the projection of your guts. People order a cold coke/sprite with their meals DONT DO IT. Order a hot rasam or a hot herbal tea instead. That will melt the fat further. Use only natural pressed oils as super refined oils have other solvents to increase the shelf life which is harmfull STOP REFINED OILS. Once the oil is used for cooking, throw it or reuse for lamp oil. Visit an ayurvedic doctor and as per your body constitution he will tell you what fruits and vegetables you can eat and what you cannot. Follow it and you will see your skin glowing.

varun mudra is very essential join thumb and little finger. This will help your skin to glow. do it for min 15 mins three times in a day.

a combination of all the above will give a cheap and effective result.
