Some people are under the impression that the more they wash, the better chance they have of getting rid of blackheads. This is just a myth. My nose doesn’t feel bumpy anymore (the blackheads that must be sticking out I guess). So the moral of the story here is that I greatly believe that the strongest defense to blackheads is sweating profusely. One tablespoon of organic honey can be mixed with just one teaspoon of ground cinnamon to make a paste that is then applied to the blackheads. You should use this “how to remove blackheads” remedy twice each day until your skin is clear.

Contrary to the common belief that it is caused by poor hygiene, blackheads are caused by excess oils that have accumulated in the sebaceous gland’s duct. The substance found in these bumps mostly consists of keratin and modified sebum (an oily secretion of the sebaceous gland), which darkens as it oxidizes. The blackheads are pores with a wider than normal opening; which get plugged up with dead skin cells or sebum, an oil your skin secretes. Also, Pore cleanser strips are highly recommended for the treatment/removal of blackheads. Using them once per week will leave your pores cleaner and smaller.
