Today we are going to talk about getting rid of blackheads the natural way. As you know, blackheads are caused by buildup of dead skin cells and oils that get into open pores. While there are many drugstore products that help to get rid of these blackheads, they might contain harsh ingredients that aren’t good for your skin.

Luckily, there are some options. Here are three different natural products that work great for getting rid of blackheads at home.

1-Raw Honey

It is the highest quality honey, the purest, it is extracted naturally, decanted to remove impurities and is not subjected to any filtration, heating or pasteurization process, thus maintaining all its properties intact.

No, you don’t want to use sugar-filled honey you get at the grocery store. Instead, use organic, raw honey with nothing added to it. You can use the honey directly on your skin or mix it with other ingredients to turn it into a face wash, scrub, or mask.

2-Baking Soda

It is a skin exfoliator. Its properties help facial skin regain its freshness. It also eliminates acne. However, you should know that prolonged use can cause dryness, so do not forget to moisturize the skin with other products.

Just about everyone has baking soda at home. Luckily, this can be used with some other simple ingredients to make your won blackhead scrub for your skin. Since baking soda is all powder, you need a way to turn it into a mask or paste. You can combine it with the aforementioned honey for a thick mask to put on your skin, or just keep it simple by turning it into a paste with a little water.

Apply it to your blackheads and wait a few minutes before rinsing off.

3-Cinnamon

The last product to mention is cinnamon. This spice is not only good for you when you consume it, but it is great for your skin as well. It has natural antibacterial qualities that make it great for cleaning out your pores and getting rid of blackheads.

This should be made into a paste using your raw honey or other thick, natural liquid. Leave it on your blackheads for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off. Follow up by washing with a cleanser.
