How to Get Rid of Blackheads the Easy Way

Beautiful skin does not have to elude you. Blackheads are a common problem for many people. Those with oily skin or who wear makeup on a daily basis may experience blackheads due to sebum being trapped in the pores. It is important to cleanse the skin and remove blackheads to avoid stretching the pores. Sebum trapped in pores can cause the pore to appear larger. Removing blackheads does not have to be difficult or painful.

The Oil Cleansing Method

1)Cleanse your skin thoroughly with a gentle skin cleanser. Pat skin dry with a soft towel. Make sure that your skin is thoroughly cleaned and all makeup is removed. Properly cleansing the skin entails using a cleanser that is right for your skin type. Use warm water and massage the cleanser into the skin for at least one minute to ensure that all dirt and debris is removed.

2)Pour a dime sized amount of Castor oil and a dime sized amount of sunflower seed oil into the palm of your hand. With your index finger, gently mix the two together. Apply this to your face. It is important to understand that only oil will properly dissolve oil. Castor oil has healing and anti-inflammatory properties, while sunflower seed oil possesses essential fatty acids and is moisturizing to the skin.

3)Massage the oil mixture into the skin for three to four minutes. Use slow, gentle strokes over the entire surface of your face. Small, circular motions are recommended. The slippage created by the oil will help to gently allow the blackheads to "slip" out of the pores. Work deeply on the problem areas of your skin.

4)Immerse a washcloth in hot, steaming water. Hold the washcloth to your face for 30 seconds. The steam will help to further open up the pores and release impurities from the skin. Gently wipe the oil off your face with the washcloth. You do not need to cleanse your face with a cleanser again. The oil will naturally moisturize your face.

Tips & Warnings
