Make a paste out of baking soda and water. Gently massage on face (or wherever you get blackheads). Rinse. Follow with a light moisturizer. You won't even believe how soft and clean your skin will be. I use it as a whole body exfoliater instead of the chemical-filled garbage that you find at the store.

I mixed like 3 tablspoons of honey with a cup of sugar and made the mostamazing scrub I've ever used. One problem I typically face is; scubs aren't gritty enough. This one is super gritty, and it smells sweet too. Not at all harsh like the scrubs at stores. Another problem I have faced is; the corner of the mouth black heads and zits. This scrub allows you to get in there and really scrub that area without the worry of getting nasty scrub in your mouth, its honey and sugar, so it tastes good too. Ha ha. Honey is also a good mosturizer so if you leave it there for a minute or two after tyou scub with it, it will serve as a moisterizer as well. You cant lose! I've only done this once and I've seem amazing results. Try it, it will work for you too!

Use cotton balls soaked in witchhazel (Found in most drugstores) to gently cleanse affected areas. Use once or twice a day. Also good for pimples so you kill two birds with one cottton ball. My teens were skeptical at first, but now they and all of their friends have the nicest complexions.

In the morning,use only tomato to wash your face.Just take some fresh tomato,mash it and then apply it all over your face(avoiding the eye area).Leave it on for a few minutes then wash off with water.Repeat it daily for atleast a month to get rid of blackheads.

I use a foot scrub product on my face, neck and chest whenever I shower to keep skin exfoliated. At least it keeps new blackheads from showing up, and makes my skin feel like a baby's! But be really careful if you have sensitive skin, or acne.

Buy a blackhead extractor from drugstore.com. After a shower or steaming your face gently used to extractor where ever you have blackheads and then clean your face with whatever anti acne product you use. Also...be sure to clean the extrator after every use or you will cause yourself more blackheads.

Use a gentle scrub to prepare your skin and place a strip of heavy duty (like trimmed packing tape) over your nose and sides of nostrils and give it a few minutes. It's going to smart a bit when it comes to removal but it should remove a fair amount of gunk. Use wherever you need it most but my nose is a blackhead magnet.

Pop the blackhead with very clean fingers then apply neosporin directly to area. The blackhead will be gone and there will be no trace of any scaring within 1 to 2 days.

Remove blackheads by combining 1/4 cup of very hot water and 1 teaspoon of Epsom salts with 4 drops of iodine. Mix well and let cool until warm to the touch. Dip a cotton ball and apply to the blackhead and surrounding area. When mixture is dry gently remove with a washcloth.

Wash your face using warm or cool water.I mean 'warm water',not hot water.
Use sorbitol or glycerin soap such as neutrogena to wash your face twice a day because it is gentle in your skin.
When you want to make up,use hypo-allergenic brand.Always remember to keep your pillow and also your towel clean.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.Drink 8 glasses of water daily as it is good for your health.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.

I put full strength tea tree oil on my problem areas every night and I have had fantastic results! It can be drying, so you probably want to moisturize too. My blackheads were pretty much gone in about a week and a half.

i guaranteed this very simple remedy will help clear your blackheads you can see results in just one day i did and all you need is two ingredients first you get out one teaspoon of any kind of milk and half a teaspoon of salt and put them in a container together but don't mix them you get better results if you do not then you just start to rub the salt and milk where ever you have blackheads the first time i tried it, personally it smelled really bad but it's different for everyone anyway just rub it around the area for just 2 minutes and rinse thoroughly your blackheads may disappear or you have to squeeze them but trust me there sooo easy to remove because of the salt and milk... HOPE I HELPED GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
