One of the most common forms of acne that has plagued many of us for most of our teen years is the growth of blackheads.
The main reason for the development of blackheads on the skin is the excess release of the androgen hormone, which in turn stimulates the sebaceous glands to produce the sebum actively.
As this happens the skin pores become clogged and an ideal place for the bacteria, dirt and grime to dwell in.
Thus, the pores get infected with the presence of bacteria and the skins rebels in the form of blackheads, zits, pimples and other complicated dermal-conditions.
The following blackhead removal tips and ideas will help you get a cleaner, blackhead free skin.
Blackhead Removal is not a very difficult task, but it requires vigilance and caution so as not to aggravate the skin condition further.
One of the most gentle and natural remedies for treating the blackheads is by using tea tree oil based products.
Make sure that the face washes, moisturizing creams and the scrubs that you buy have tee tree oil as the key ingredient of the product.
Tea tree oil helps not only by killing the bacteria present on the skin but also helps in unclogging the pores thus curbing the chances of a breakout.
Another natural way to the effective blackhead removal is the use of green tea on the skin.
The benefits of green tea are not a secret anymore, even the earlier sophisticated civilizations have been known to use green tea as a way to soothe the discomforts of their skin.
Make a green tea based scrub to combat the breakout.
The scrub will require as follows, one teaspoon or one tea bag of green tea, which has been brewed in half a cup of water to extract its essence.
Take three teaspoons of the lukewarm green tea (only liquid) and mix with one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar (do not use any other form of vinegar or the results will be disastrous), mix this mixture with one teaspoon of honey and about three tablespoons of sugar.
The amount of sugar can be increased or lessened according to the mixture requirement which should be dense yet crunchy.
Apply this mixture to the face and scrub very gently for about two minutes.
Leave the mixture to settle of the face for another ten minutes and gently wash it off with water.
Simply apply toner in the end and you will be amazed by the effects.
It is important to apply this acne home treatment regularly to obtain the best results.
One can even opt for a green tea based toner by mixing together apple cider vinegar (only) and green tea brewed liquid by combing them in the ratio of 1 to 3.
This mixture can be kept in the refrigerator and it lasts for about a week.
One can apply this toner directly to the face with the help of cotton swabs after cleansing.
