Blackheads are a most common problem these days, pollution and dust are the main sources for this.It looks like a small hair on the nose which gives an under finished look after cleaning the face with face wash.Blackheads are just pimples that don’t have skin over them. That’s all they are. Because there’s no skin, and they’re exposed to the air, the top layer of gunk in your pores oxidizes and turns that darkish black color.To clear out this problem there are 5 ways which can be really useful for blackheads.
1.By making Exfoliators And Scrubs for blackheads:
Ingredients: lemon juice and sugar
How you do it: Simply combine your “scrubby” ingredient with your liquid/wet ingredient until you have a thin paste. Starting with a clean face, rinse it once with water, and then begin to apply your exfoliator in light, circular motions.

Do this for 3-5 minutes. Rinse well. Enjoy your clean face.
