Simple Hacks To Get Rid Of Stubborn Blackheads

Baking Soda

Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is the holy grail of natural, inexpensive fixes. This powdery compound is a powerful antiseptic as it cleans and purifies most all surfaces, even the skin. Sodium bicarbonate is an alkaline substance, but when exposed to the skin it neutralizes its ph balance and reduces its oil production, which is one of the primary causes of blackheads.

Forming a combination paste of baking soda and water will create a superior homemade skin exfoliator. Apply this paste as you would any other exfoliator, and it will effortlessly scrub away dead skin cells and blackheads. To keep blackheads away for good, repeat this twice a week and continue for about a month. As a result, your skin will be in a fresher and softer state. For more severe cases, replace the water with an astringent such as witch hazel or apple cider vinegar.
