NATURAL BLACKHEADS REMOVAL MASKS

(plus do`s and don’ts tips)

Blackheads occur when pores become clogged. They appear when a hair follicle becomes clogged with sebum and debris. Blackheads are a mild form of acne lesion that can appear all over the body. 

Generally you’ll find blackheads on the face, but they can also be seen on the back, shoulders, neck, chest, and arms.

Blackheads are caused by over production of oil, which is why people with oily skin (like me) have this problem more often. Also blackheads can be caused by hormonal change, improper sleep position (sleeping only on one side), sweat, alcohol, smoking.

Before we get to the face masks, there are few things you need to remember. There isn`t a onetime permanent remedy, you need to find what skin treatment (exfoliations, masks, skin products etc.) works for you and add them to your routine (do them at least two times a week). Personally I experimented a lot to get this problem under control. If you have very oily skin always avoid oil based cosmetics, don`t over exfoliate your skin (two times a week is enough), use face cleansers with salicylic acid, if you have the habit of steaming you face minimize it, always moisturize your skin after skin treatment.

My advice for this face mask is try them all (they are really easy to make), and find what works for you.

Here are the face masks:
