Masks To Remove Blackheads

A thorough facial cleansing and these masks will help you to remove unsightly blackheads.

Blackheads affect the complexion and look unkempt. That’s why we’re introducing you to various masks for removing blackheads that you can easily make yourself.

How do blackheads occur?

The small black dots appear on the skin when the pores become clogged with sebum and impurities and these oxidize. That is why one is particularly sensitive to it with oily skin. 

But with the right care you can remove the black spots and shrink your pores.

Causes of unsightly blackheads are common

• hormonal irregularities,
• too much makeup and lack of facial cleansing as well
• Pollutants and pollution.

The best masks for getting rid of blackheads

It is very important that you scrub yourself weekly to thoroughly cleanse your pores.

You don’t necessarily have to go to the beauty salon as there are many homemade options that are very effective.

We recommend the following masks to remove blackheads , which are very effective:

1. Lemon and sugar mask

Lemons help you remove pollutants and cleanse your skin thoroughly. Sugar gives the scrub the right consistency to remove dead skin.

You can only use this mask in the evening when you no longer have to leave the house. Because lemon can cause skin spots when exposed to the sun!

You need:

• Half a lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon of sugar (15 g)

Application:

• First squeeze the lemon and mix it with the sugar in a bowl. This creates a granular paste.
• Thoroughly cleanse your face before gently massaging the scrub onto your face in circular motions.
• Let it sit for ten minutes, then wash it off with cold water.

This simple mask is very effective. You only need two ingredients to deeply cleanse your skin.

4. Pineapple and honey mask

Pineapple not only tastes delicious, it is also  perfect for your homemade creams and masks. It moisturizes your skin and reduces sebum.

In combination with honey, it creates an excellent peeling against blackheads, which has an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect.

• Cleanse your skin and apply the mask especially to the areas with blackheads.

Eggs are rich in nutrients and are therefore used in many beauty treatments. Protein is a great remedy for blackheads.

• Then you can simply remove the paper towel. Repeat the process as often as necessary to remove any blackheads.
