How to Get Rid of Blackheads Easily

Blackheads are one beauty concern similar to acne. These are small black or white colored acne lesion, arising on the nose or elsewhere on face. Though it is common, getting rid of it is not an easy one. There might be lot many cosmetic strips available for this problem but still relying on natural home remedies works the best.

When these pores get clogged with excess sebum from the sebaceous glands, and dead skin cells, these blackheads occur. The tiny lesions are actually oxidized melanin from skin cells. Open pores create lesions that turn black while closed ones remain white as they do not get oxidized. Keep in mind that blackheads do not occur due to dirt or impurities. The real culprit is solely our skin glands and its clogging of pores. Usually we keep on scrubbing and cleansing the skin to prevent blackheads but know that those ways does not help.
