Question

What causes a massive Blackhead to form?

Answer 1

Blackheads are formed and caused by plugs developing in the opening of hair follicles in your skin.

Keeping your skin exfoliated and preventing the pores from becoming plugged and clogged can prevent future outbreaks of blackheads.

A good way of getting rid of blackheads on your skin is to apply a thick paste of 2-3 teaspoons of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of water on the blackheads and then gently massage it for 3-4 minutes.

Rinse the baking soda off once it becomes dry after a few minutes and repeat this for a few days or twice per week until the blackheads are gone.

Answer 2

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.

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.
