Blackheads are tiny projections of black skin that are often found on the face especially on the nose and sometimes on the back.
Such black projections form a barrier that blocks the skin’s sebaceous glands.
They are caused by excessive development of “sebum” (an oily substance) from the sebaceous gland which, when combined with dead skin and bacteria, gradually become hardened.
From the air the sebum becomes exposed to oxygen and becomes oxidized, turning black.
Here are the main causes leading to blackheads:
- Stress
- Hormonal changes
- Inheritance
- Unclean skin
- Cosmetics
- Smoking
- Alcohol
- Caffeine
Follow these simple, natural ways to clean the pores and remove blackheads using ingredients that are easily available at home.
Tomato

Lemon Scrub
Lemon is another natural product effective in the treatment of blackheads. Squeeze a couple of drops of lemon juice in a bowl, add salt and stir well. Wash the mask on the blackheads with warm water and add the mixture. Leave on for about 20 minutes and wash face with warm water again.
Toothpaste Rub
