Home Remedies for Removal of Black Heads
Though the blackheads might be tiny, but for sure, they are extremely stubborn. You can do all the squeezing, prodding or poking, they tend to return. Trying out all the creams and gels and lotions does not seem to work.
These small bumps on the hair follicles can turn a beautiful face into an ‘ugly’ one. You find blackheads, most of the time, in the nose and the chin area. These are not caused by dirt but this is the building up of sebum which clogs the hair follicles. So all that scrubbing of your face to remove these blackheads is not going to work, you will only dry your skin further. What you need is to try using natural and home remedies for tackling blackheads.
