There are ways of curing blackheads, that most people know, such as regular skincare, eating a healthy low-fat diet, the use of quality cosmetics products. I have already written about the causes of blackheads and some ways of getting rid of them in “Blackheads Information and Treatment”. Here are some easy and useful tips, which are not so well-known, but also help to rid yourself of blackheads.
Anti-Blackhead Tip 1. Change Pillowcase
Change your pillowcase as often as possible. The oil produced by your hair follicles can accumulate on the pillowcase and then get to your face skin, which can cause blackheads and acnes. No wonder, that your evening skincare doesn’t help to reduce blackheads.
Anti-Blackhead Tip 2. Use Different Towels
Use a clean towel after washing your face. Every woman should use three different towels: the first one for the body, the second one for the intimate hygiene and the third towel for the face.
Anti-Blackhead Tip 3. Widen Pores
Don’t forget to steam your face before applying any mask on your face. This widens the pores, gives you more access to their content and lets you remove excess oil. To do this, use a steamer or just hot water. Another way to do this is to boil some camomile in a pan and keep your face over it with your head covered with a towel for a few minutes (be careful not to burn yourself). This is also recommended for the common cold cure.
Anti-Blackhead Tip 4. Homemade Body Scrub
Prepare your own body scrub at home. All you need for it is 4 tablespoons of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of dead sea salt and 2 tablespoons of water. Mix everything thoroughly and use as a scrub after steaming your skin.
Anti-Blackhead Tip 5. Homemade Oatmeal Mask
Natural products are really good for your skin. Prepare a blackhead curing mask at home. You will need 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 3 teaspoons of Aloe Vera juice. Mix everything. Apply this mask on dry face (better right after steaming) and leave for five minutes, then wash off. Do it twice a week.

My friend told me that she got invisible difference creme and spot remover from a friend and it works wonders for her face. Can you tell me where i can get that creme to take off all those spots off my face?
Sanett,
maybe you meant Visible Difference Cream from Elisabeth Arden? Then you can get it here, for example:
http://astore.amazon.com/beauty050-20/detail/B000H7NWU6/002-5244169-1928820
But as far as I know, this cream is only to moisturize the skin, but not to remove blackheads, maybe, it prevents dark spots. I’ve never tried this creme, but I read many positive reviews about it: women say, the cream really works.
As for the spot remover, what’s the name of the product your friend told you about? There’re many spot removers.
hi i have like bumps on my face. Besides all the black heads I can just run my fingers over my skin and feel bumps but its under my skin. What is it I cant even pop it because I would only bruise my skin. One person told me it was oil clogged and that it would never come out.

i have a oily skin that 5 tips u r givin is good fo oily skin oc not:?and i used aloe vera i ve got lots of acne on my face and its left scar on my face plz help me to cure
Brianna, have you tried exfoliating? Maybe the mask can’t get to the pore because there’s a
layer of dirt and grime in the way? A green clay mask can help to suck out all the dirt and oil. Though using it too frequently can leave you dry. You can get green facil clay at a health food store for much cheaper than the drug store. Just add water and slather it on.
You might need a product salycidic acid or benozyl peroxide in it to unclog the pores if that doesn’t work. Becareful as some people are sensitive to these products, salycidic acid is the gentler of the two products. Another old trick I heard of is usnig elmers glue on your face and letting it dry (though I haven’t tried it myself) to pull up black heads. A facial mask of pure honey can lift up dirt and brighten the face. If worse comes to worse, it might take several facials to loosen up those blakc heads. I have big pores and german skin and hair. My blackheads are hard to extract too. Just make sure if you go several facials to not do them all at once. Sometimes you’ll between otu between them because impurities are being brought to the skin’s surface.
