Blackheads form when pores are clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and dirt. These remedies can help clear them without harsh treatments.

1. Salicylic Acid Treatments

Why it works: Salicylic acid penetrates pores to dissolve oil and dead skin that cause blackheads.

How to use:

Apply a salicylic acid toner or spot treatment to affected areas once daily.

Leave on for the recommended time, then rinse if instructed.

Tip: Avoid overuse to prevent dryness or irritation.

2. Clay Masks

Why it works: Clay absorbs excess oil and impurities from the skin, unclogging pores.

How to use:

Apply a thin layer of bentonite or kaolin clay mask to the nose, chin, or forehead.

Leave on for 10–15 minutes or until dry.

Rinse with lukewarm water and moisturize.

Tip: Use 1–2 times per week for best results.

3. Exfoliating Scrubs (Gentle)
