Blackheads occur mainly as a result of accretion in the skin, some may appear yellowish in color, but most times they stay black as the bumps stay longer and get thicker.

First of the blackhead treatments is using warm water to give your face a thorough wash. This particular treatment is effective such that it helps open your skin pores giving room for the skin oil to be secreted properly without any form of obstruction; this treatment if done regularly, would leave your face fresh, clean and blackhead free. Please take caution not to use water that is too hot so as not to get your skin scalded or burned, instead get a clean towel for drying your face and skin after washing it with prepared warm water.

The next blackhead treatment is using face cleansers or astringents on the face.
This specific treatment mainly suits people with oily skin and that's because oily skin tends to have more blackheads than people with other skin types.
Now this treatment employs using cotton balls dabbed with astringents to cleanse the face after a thorough wash or before wash. Astringents can be pretty severe so I recommend that folks with sensitive skin take extra caution before usage, moreover it is preferable to add rose water to the astringents in other to soothe the effect.

Now taking herbs, but preferably herbal tea is another type of blackhead treatment. This method is so unique in a way that its regular use completely washes the entire body system of toxic waste. You may be wondering, so how does that affect blackheads? You see herbal ingredients have natural cleansing agents that keep the body system in check, free of anomalies such as unnecessary skin clogging, blood effluence etc. making your body readily resistant to skin disorders, infections and so on. So the need for herbs including herbal tea is a must if you are to tackle blackheads.
