Blackheads are caused by excess oil and dirt clogging your pores, which leads to bacteria growing on the skin, causing inflammation. The best way to fight blackheads before they appear is with an exfoliation mask that can rid your pores of excess sebum, dirt, dead skin cells, and makeup residue, allowing you to skip the blackhead extraction process entirely! Here are the top 6 natural blackhead removal masks!
1) Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a natural skin toner that can help remove blackheads. You can either apply the apple cider vinegar directly on your skin or make a mask by mixing it with other ingredients. Mix one part apple cider vinegar with two parts water, then add in either honey, raw egg white, or oatmeal (you can mix and match any of these). Apply the mixture to your face for five minutes, then rinse off. The acid from the apple cider vinegar will help loosen up clogged pores and remove impurities.
2) Egg Whites
Egg whites are a great way to remove blackheads as they open up your pores and tighten the skin. First, beat an egg white in a bowl. Spread the mixture on your face and neck using your fingers or a brush; wait for 10-15 minutes until the egg whites are dry. Rinse with cold water, then use cotton balls soaked in cold water (or witch hazel) to gently wipe off any remaining residue from your face.
3) Green Tea
Green tea is a powerful antioxidant that reduces inflammation and has anti-aging properties. It's also a great source of vitamins A, C, and E. In addition, it contains polyphenols that help prevent premature aging by removing free radicals from the skin. This means green tea can help reverse the effects of sun damage on your skin. Finally, green tea is an astringent that can shrink pores, making them less visible.
4) Honey and Lemon Mask
One of the simplest masks for blackhead removal is honey and lemon. All you need is about one-half a cup of honey and one-half a cup of lemon juice. Mix them together until the honey dissolves, then apply the mixture to your face using fingers or a cotton ball. Wait 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water, which will open up pores and help remove blackheads. You can also use this mask as a spot treatment by applying it directly onto the blackheads after you've steamed your skin with boiling water for 10 minutes.
5) Olive Oil
Olive oil is one of the most common natural masks, and it's also one of the cheapest. You can use olive oil as a face mask or a scrub. All you need is some warm water and a few drops of olive oil. If you want to make a scrub, mix in some baking soda or salt for exfoliation. Stir in enough olive oil until you have the desired consistency. Apply to your skin and let it sit for about ten minutes before rinsing off with warm water.
If you want to make an all-around face mask, apply olive oil liberally all over your skin (avoiding the eye area). Let it soak in for up to 15 minutes before rinsing off with cool water.
6) Turmeric Mask
This mask has the power of turmeric which is an anti-inflammatory agent and antioxidant. It also helps in skin lightening which is why it's a popular ingredient in many beauty products. When used as a face mask, it can help heal acne scars and reduce inflammation around the affected area.
Our skin is our largest organ, and it's important to take good care of it. So I hope you try these natural masks that can help with blackhead removal or any other pore-related issues!
