How to get rid of whiteheads!

One thing I can't stand is talking to someone in real life and realizing that they have whiteheads on their faces especially their noses! with what every substance that clogged the pore, coming out of it!!

So for those suffering from whiteheads or know someone with whiteheads, this post is for you!

Blackheads occur when pores on the skin become clogged by substances like dead skin cells, oil, dirt or bacteria. These clogged pores then close up and form whiteheads.

So here are few ways to get rid of them

1. Keep your hands off!

Touching your face will just introduce more bacteria and dirt into your face which will definitely cause more whiteheads. Similarly, an attempt to pop a whitehead may lead to permanent scars on your face, and no one wants that.

2. Wash your facee!

This is definitely quite obvious but i mean if whiteheads are caused by oil, dirt and bacteria it only makes sense to wash your face with a cleanser/soap. Cleansers like Black Soap, Neutrogena Transparenct Facial Bar and Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash are really good for oily/combination skin :)

3. Try Toning with Witch Hazel

Witch hazel has astringent properties as it has pore-opening qualities. It is able to dry out the skin and shrink its pores. In addition to this, witch hazel controls oil production and its regular use gets rid of whiteheads and help to prevent them from coming back.

Dip a cotton ball in some witch hazel and apply it on your whiteheads. Repeat twice a day after you have washed your face.

4. Try A Clay Mask

The Aztec Secret Indian Deep Pore Cleansing Healing Clay is said to be one of the most powerful masks in the world. It's able to literally suck all the toxins out of your skin leaving you with a whitehead-free face. Just get a plastic bowl and a plastic spoon, pour in a decent quantity of the clay, mix in some water and some ACV. Leave on your face for about 30 minutes, rinse off and use a moisturizer afterwards.

5. Try Products with Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil is a natural anti-inflammatory agent. It is ideal for those with acne prone skin.

Tea tree oil keeps the skin free of clogged pores which also prevents the formation of whiteheads. Tea Tree Oil can be be used in its diluted form or in some skin care products like the ones below.

6. Salicylic acid

Salicylic acid helps to decrease oil production in pores (good for those with very very oily skin). It also dries out the surface of the skin, getting rid of dead skin cells that can clog up your pores.

It’s available in acne toners and astringents, as well as creams, cleansers and gels. A cleanser that contains salicylic acid is the Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash. JUST MAKE SURE TO USE A GOOD MOISTURIZER AFTERWARDS!
