Blackheads usually appear around the nostrils, chin and forehead. They are caused by oil, bacteria and dead skin deposition on skin. Blackheads can be irritating as they can appear in any part of the body and don't come off easily. Here are a few tips to get rid of blackheads.

Cleansing

Keep your face free of dirt and grime. Cleanse your face with a good face wash two times in a day. If you have an oily nose and chin then use an an oil-free cleanser to remove excess oil.

Exfoliation

Remove dead skin built-up by exfoliating twice in a week. You can choose an appropriate face scrub from the wide variety of  product available in supermarkets. Alternatively you can prepare homemade exfoliators to remove dead cells.

Steaming

Take steams on your face to open the pores and remove blackheads. Facial steaming also removes  excess dirt from the skin. Holding a warm washcloth over your face will also do the trick. The blackheads move to the surface and can be easily removed.

Remove makeup

Make it a point to avoid foundation as much as possible. Wearing foundation regularly leads to clogged pores. Always remove makeup before sleeping at night. Use a makeup remover to remove makeup from your face and neck.
