Remedial Treatment at Home for Blackheads
April 17, 2009
Plugs or black coloured bumps on the skin are called ‘blackheads’. Filled up with deposits of oil and skin cells that are dead, they are actually blocked up pores.
They are also part of the skin ailment known as acne and are commonly found on the areas in the body where sebaceous glands are found, such as the chest, back and face.
They are usually more in number than zits and pimples and flourish in skins that are naturally oily. When such skin is exposed to polluted environment, blackheads grow worse.
Good hygiene should be maintained to achieve a cure for blackheads. Skin treatment methods, including laser therapy are numerous but the most recommended ways are the natural ones. Here are a few home remedies to combat blackheads.
Remedial Treatment at Home for Blackheads
A combination of 4 drops of iodine, one teaspoon of Epsom salt in quarter of a cup of hot water should be left to cool. Then use a cotton ball to apply some on the skin areas. It can be taken off after it has dried.
Regular application of a paste made of fresh fenugreek leaves [methi] and water, kept on the affected places for about 15 minutes each time is another good method. Use warm water to remove.
Using steam to open out the blocked pores of the skin, the affected areas could be rubbed for a minute or two using a towel. Use cold water to close up the pores again.
One tablespoon of lime juice added to a glassful of boiled milk could be used as an effective face wash. Regular use is a good home remedy.
Grind some radish seeds and make a paste with water. This could be applied on the affected skin and later washed away with water when dry.
Another paste blended using some milk, together with 5 grams of turmeric and 5 grams of red sandalwood should be applied for awhile and rinsed off later.
Almond powder and rose water together also makes a good remedial paste for application on the affected skin. This needs to be washed off using warm water.
You could make a skin scrub with a mixture of yoghurt, and equal quantities of lemon, salt and honey. Massage this blend for five to ten minutes into the skin.After rinsing it off you must pat the area dry. Again warm honey applied to the skin is a beneficial method.It has to be removed with water when dry.
Equal quantities of fresh lime and groundnut oil mixed together, is an effective treatment when applied on the skin.It should also be washed with warm water.
Well beaten egg white should be applied on the affected skin, washed off with water, and scrubbed gently with a towel while wiping dry.
Three tablespoons of honey combined with a teaspoon of cinnamon powder should be well mixed and applied on the skin and kept on overnight. Lukewarm water must be used to wash it off in the morning.
