i've had bad blackhead and acne problems since i hit puberty and i've tried so many products like ProActive and Skin ID to no avail, but this home remedy got rid of my blackheads and acne fast. All you have to do is mix fresh lime juice from a whole lime and mix into boiled milk. Let the milk cool until it is warm and cleanse face. Rinse off with cool water. Do this daily 1-2 times a day for clean, clear, acne free skin.

Radish seeds are effective at treating your blackheads. You can utilize this by grinding the radish seeds into a fine powder and then mixing with enough water to make a manageable paste. Apply this paste to your areas where you get blackheads.

This is a strange remedy, but worth a try. Take the skin of a pomegranate and roast in an oven until dry and crispy (but don't burn it -- low heat is crucial for this). Pulverize this skin into a fine powder. Mix this powder with enough water to make a thin paste. You can now use this paste as an acne treatment by applying it directly to acne, blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples.

For prevention of acne and blackheads:

Create a mixture of equal parts groundnut oil and lime juice. Apply this mixture to acne-prone areas, or any areas that get pimples or blackheads. Using this method often is very helpful in preventing acne and blackheads.

Potatoes have very powerful absorbing qualities. I know when I'm making soup, if I add too much salt, I can just cut up a potato into large chunks and toss it in. After simmering for a bit, the potato will pull out some of the salt. You can use this same principle to pull toxins and impurities out of your skin. Here's what to do: (more...)

Create a paste from fresh fenugreek by grinding in a mortar and pestle. You may have to add a small amount of water to get it to the right consistency. Apply this as a mask to areas that are prone to pimples or blackheads and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Try to incorporate this into your daily routine. This works well for pimples, blackheads, and wrinkles.

For blackheads: create a thick paste from jaggery and water. Apply to the area with blackheads and let it dry for 20 minutes. Peel off the dried paste and it will pull out the blackheads along with it. Sort of works like those strips you buy, except a lot cheaper.

To treat blackheads:

Mix baking soda in water to create a thin paste. Massage this paste into the areas where blackheads appear for a minute or two. Rinse your face with cool water and then apply a light, non-greasy moisturizing lotion. Repeat multiple times per day if you find it necessary.
