Toothpaste can help to remove blackheads.

Apply the Toothpaste to the blackheads and let the toothpaste dry and after the toothpaste dries up then rub it into the blackheads and pores.

Rubbing the toothpaste gently around on your skin helps to unclog the pores and removes the blackheads.

But before applying the toothpaste wash and dry your face off and then apply the toothpaste.

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.
