Blackheads are caused by clogged pores. Accumulated dead skin clogs skin pores leading to tiny black bumps called blackheads. They are easy to treat and can be removed at home. Here are some tips to get rid of blackheads.

Remove blackheads with tomatoes

Tomatoes have antiseptic properties and are known to be effective in de-clogging skin pores. Make a pulp of tomato for treating blackheads. Apply this paste on your face, concentrating on affected areas of nose and face. Leave it on overnight if possible. The tomato treatment dries up blackhead, making them fall off naturally from the skin.

Honey and cinnamon scrub

Make a face scrub using honey and cinnamon. Take one teaspoon honey and half teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix well and apply on your facial skin. Keep it on for 5 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water. This scrub removes dirt from the pores and also helps to get rid of blackheads.

Baking soda scrub

Baking soda is effective in removing blackheads. Make a paste using baking soda and water. The end product looks like melted ice cream. Use this mixture to scrub only the affected area. Scrub gently so that you don't harm your skin. Wash it off with lukewarm water. Baking soda paste dries up the blackheads and they fall off naturally.
