Instead of using expensive cosmetics that are readily available in the market there are some home remedies that can cure blackheads. Using apple cider vinegar is one of the most common therapy as it is known to have many properties that help to get rid of blackheads, thereby making the face soft and smooth.
How to get rid of blackheads with apple cider vinegar?
Apple cider vinegar
Direct use : Apple cider vinegar if applied directly onto the affected area of the skin with the help of a clean cotton wool ball, and left on for a few minutes before washing it with some lukewarm water, helps to clear the accumulated dirt and the unwanted dead skin cells so that the pores become free and thus there is no formation of blackheads. This method has to be repeated a couple of times daily to get the desired result.
Apple cider vinegar & baking soda
Equal quantities of apple cider vinegar and baking soda when mixed together, form a fine paste and can be applied all over the face with the help of fingers, thus forming a thick layer and left on for about half an hour or until the mask dries up.
Then wash the face with some lukewarm water and gently scrubbing it, followed by applying a cleanser and moisturizer. This mask has to be used regularly to get rid of blackheads.
Crushed mint leaves & apple cider vinegar
Equal portions of crushed mint leaves and apple cider vinegar should be mixed well in a jar and left as it is for a week. Then it has to be strained and diluted with a cup of water.
It can then be applied on the face and left on for a few hours before washing the face clean. The vinegar helps to control the oil that has accumulated while the mint soothes the skin. This method has to be done regularly to remove blackheads. So, use it now!
Precautions
- The eye area should be avoided as there may be a burning sensation.
- The skin needs to be moisturized as the vinegar is a drying agent too.
