The need to perform a steam bath before any anti-blackheads
Many anti-blackhead solutions are within our reach without us having to pay a single extra penny. However, before proceeding, it is imperative to clean the skin of the face with steam. This first step guarantees greater efficiency to the anti-blackhead solutions that will be adopted later. Indeed, the steam bath prepares the skin, detoxifies it, softens it and above all softens the pores for easier extraction of blackheads. Just fill a container with very hot water, then tilt your head a few centimeters above it, taking care to cover yourself with a towel so as not to let the steam escape. The operation lasts 4 to 5 minutes. To go further and enjoy an aromatic steam bath, do not hesitate to add a few sage leaves, lavender flowers or thyme sprigs.
Vegetables, unexpected but formidable anti-blackhead allies
Grandma's tips are often worn on everyday items that no one would have thought of, and homemade anti-blackhead solutions confirm this. It turns out that our kitchens have everything it takes to help us rid our faces of those unsightly blackheads for good. Vegetables are not only delicious and good for your health. They also help us to treat our skin problems. As anti-blackhead solutions , it is possible to use:
- Carrot:an excellent alternative to chemical exfoliants that attack our epidermal cells. Peeled and mixed, the carrot reinforces the effect of the day creams that we already use.
- The cucumber, more precisely its pulp extracted with a centrifuge, acts as an unstoppable cleansing, moisturizing and anti-blackhead lotion. To be applied with a cotton ball, like a lotion, on the face and especially the area spotted with blackheads, cucumber pulp is also known to quickly soothe facial sunburn.
- Potato:Cut into slices, the potato is used as a facial cleanser. In particular, it will be necessary to concentrate the cleaning on the areas of the face inhabited by blackheads.
- Tomato:As good for raw salads as they are for the skin, tomato slices are the perfect cleansing ally for facial skin. Their anti-spot property is unparalleled. Just let a puck sit on the stained area for about 20 minutes and you're done!
Simple effective anti-blackhead solutions that are easy to apply
Against the blackheads that mar our skin texture, grandmother's little tricks are very numerous. No need to stock up on cosmetic products loaded with chemical active ingredients, the effectiveness of which remains to be seen. Everything we need to eradicate blackheads of the face is already at home. We can, for example:
- Make a purifying mask based on egg white lightly whipped:just apply it and let it sit for a quarter of an hour on the area affected by blackheads to cleanse the skin and tighten dilated pores.
- Use the toothbrush and lemon juice blackhead remover combo:this technique effectively removes blackheads without having to manipulate them with your fingers. The right thing to do is to make small circular movements on the affected area with the toothbrush soaked in citric acid.
- Make an anti-blackhead scrub with baking soda and mineral water:the mixture, which gives a kind of exfoliating paste, is to be applied by massage on the blackheads of the face. This solution is both exfoliating, anti-blackheads and sebum-regulating.
