5. Honey and Milk Strips
Both milk and honey have terrific compounds that are super good for your skin. Honey has antibacterial compounds that will kill the pathogens that cause acne. Milk contains lactic acid, which is known to keep the skin soft and supple. Mixed together, these two ingredients should help to draw out blackheads, stop bacteria formation, and leave the skin soft.
Mix 1 tablespoon of raw, organic honey with 1 teaspoon of milk in a small cup. Heat this in your microwave for 10 seconds (depending on the strength of your microwave), then mix again to be sure this combination is smooth and well blended. When it has cooled to warm, but not hot, apply a thin layer over the area that has blackheads and then gently pat a strop of dry, clean cotton over the area (old T-shirts work well for this). Allow to dry completely, and then carefully peel off the cotton strip. Rinse with cool water.
6. Egg Mask
This is an old fashioned remedy that really works well. Egg whites form a simple mask that helps to remove current blackheads while temporarily tightening pores to help prevent future blackheads.
Place the egg white from one egg in a bowl. Rinse your face with water. Place a strip of tissue or toilet paper into the egg white, and then apply this strip to the affected area. Allow this to dry completely. Now, using your fingers, apply a second layer of egg white over the tissue. Allow this second layer to dry. You can apply a third layer if you wish. Be sure the egg white has dried completely or this will not work. Once this is completely dry, gently peel off the tissue and then wash to remove any remaining egg white.
