How To Remove Pimples And Blackheads Naturally

Pimples and blackheads are one of the headaches of teenagers and some adults. It is a very common problem and, although it does not affect health, it is aesthetically frowned upon.

Both pimples and blackheads can occur for many reasons, such as bacteria, exposure to pollutants, hormonal changes, excessive use of makeup, poor hygiene or excess oil on the skin.

Luckily, today there are a large number of treatments that can help us combat these problems and achieve smoother, oil-free and smoother skin.

Today we want to share with you a cleaning routine and home treatments to combat pimples and blackheads in a healthier and more economical way. Obviously, keep in mind that to get results you need to be consistent with your application.

Cleaning routine to remove pimples and blackheads

Cleanse your skin twice a day

Exposure to toxins and pollutants in the environment can make our skin dirty, even if we don’t notice it. As a consequence, pimples and blackheads appear more frequently.

In this case, it is convenient to wash your face very well in the morning and at night, in such a way that you remove all kinds of makeup, bacteria, dirt and excess oil on the skin. The experts at Dr. Serrano’s dermatological clinic advise using a suitable soap for this.

Apply a natural toner on your skin

Witch hazel can serve as one of the best natural alternatives to industrial tonics. This natural product works as a tonic and an excellent astringent for the skin, helping to balance oil levels and to dry out pimples and blackheads. Use daily to keep skin smooth and clean.

Do vaping sessions

The water vapor helps to dilate the pores, making them open and facilitating the exit of the dirt that accumulates in them. To do this, all we have to do is put water to boil in a large enough bowl and create a closed area with the help of a towel.

You can add certain substances such as lemon mint to boiling water, to promote the toning process after steaming.

However, it is convenient to use a product that allows us to remove dirt from the pores once they have been dilated thanks to the steam. A practical example could be preparing a green clay mask to apply after the session.

Perform an exfoliation

Exfoliation is an essential step to combat pimples and blackheads and do a deep cleaning. This step helps us remove dead skin cells and removes all kinds of dirt that can affect our beauty.

To make a homemade exfoliating cream you can mix a little oatmeal with honey and massage the affected areas in a circular motion. Remember the advice of dermatologists and be careful when exfoliating so as not to irritate the skin and damage the skin barrier.
