5 Ways To Remove Blackheads At Home

Blackheads can solely break the entire look of your face, yes they do have the capacity of doing so. Plus, who likes blackheads anyway? They are like these black dots on the highest points of your face that attracts way too much attention.

However, many do believe that blackheads are a result of dirt, but it isn’t so. Blackheads occur when your pores become clogged with excess sebum (an oil created by the sebaceous glands that keep the skin supple). So, rather than scrubs, your face vigorously twice a week try something more natural and easy on the skin.

Scrubs when used too frequently and too harshly can worsen your skin’s condition rather than improving it. Strips and masks are much better options to resort to in case you want to say bid adieu to these rigid and ugly dots.
