5 DIY Remedies To Get Rid Of Blackheads

Skin related problems like blackheads, whiteheads and acne are caused because of clogged pores and hair follicles. It is a result of accumulation of all kinds of grime like dirt, sebum, oil and dead skin cells in our skin on a daily basis. Blackheads look like tiny, raised bumps on the surface of the skin, mostly black in colour. They are caused when oil and sebum block the pores on your skin. When the skin is not cleansed properly and the oil settles in the pores over time, the regular exposure to air oxidises the oils and blackheads are formed.

The most common area where the blackheads appear is the face. It is also, therefore, easy to take care of them. While there are cosmetic remedies like strips and creams available in the market, when it comes to your face, it is best to stick to as natural a remedy as possible.

Try these home remedies to get rid of blackheads without any pain:

* Baking soda and water
