A good home remedy that works to get rid of blackheads and whiteheads is to use oatmeal and yogurt to exfoliate your face with.

Take some oatmeal and yogurt and mix the oatmeal and yogurt together to make a face mask and apply the oatmeal and yogurt face mask to your face over the whiteheads and blackheads.

Let the face mask sit on your face for up to 20 minutes and then wash your face off and repeat the procedure with the oatmeal and yogurt face mask 2 times per week until the blackheads and whiteheads are gone.

Blackheads are small bumps that appear on your skin due to clogged hair follicles.

Some ways to remove blackheads include.

Cleanse with salicylic acid. Instead of benzoyl peroxide, look for over-the-counter (OTC) products that contain salicylic acid. ...
Gently exfoliate with AHAs and BHAs.
Pick up a skin brush.
Try topical retinoids.
Use a clay mask.
Use a charcoal mask.
Consider a chemical peel.
Make sure you're using noncomedogenic products.

Toothpaste is a popular beauty hack for getting rid of blackheads.

While toothpaste does contain some blackhead-fighting ingredients, it may also contain unwanted ingredients that can irritate skin.

Using toothpaste to remove blackheads is considered an off-label treatment and is not recommended by dermatologists.

A good home remedy for getting rid of blackheads on your skin is to mix some lemon juice with a tablespoon of yogurt, honey and salt.

Then scrub the mixture onto the blackheads gently for around 3 to 4 minutes and then rinse the mixture off your skin with some water.

Baking soda and water mixed together as a paste can also be applied to the blackheads which is another natural remedy for removing blackheads.
