Written by Author on . Posted in Acne

Blackheads are actually reoccurring black spots on your ears, nose, and chin. They are unpleasant to look at and appear mostly due to blocked pores on skin. The blackness is caused because of the oxidizing effect of air that is on the sebum. Hence, they are generally yellow or black in color. People with oily skin are more affected by blackheads. The pollution is a big contributing factor for the occurrence of the blackheads.

Some of the common reasons for blackheads are as follows:
1. Excessive scrubbing of skin
2. Huge production of facial oil
3. Water deficiency in body
4. Use of makeup that are oil-based

When you are suffering from blackheads it is better if you select your diet well. This will lessen the sebum production and enhance the moisture in your skin. Avoid eating cooked fats and carbohydrates instead you can choose to eat fresh fruits and vegetables.

Use makeup which is absolutely oil free so that you do not block the skin pores. If you sweat too much then avoid using excessive make-up. Keep your make-up brushes clean so that you do not get affected by make-up products.

There are some home-made remedies for blackheads which you can choose to follow. You can prepare a face pack by mixing fresh lemon juice, and boiled milk (1 glass) that removes blackheads. Another home-made face mask is a paste of fresh fenugreek leaves. You can apply on your face for 15 minutes every night. Next you just have to wash your face with warm water. You can also use a face scrub of green tea that loosens blackheads. Steam bath is an effective option as it helps to soften the pores and open it for easy removal.
