3 ways to get rid of blackheads
Blackheads appear when skin oil blocks the tiny openings on the face. The nose produces more oil than other parts - it shows more black dots. Teen hormones raise oil levels and skipped face washing scrubbing or deep cleaning lets the dots multiply. Some foods also trigger extra oil - the skin looks worse.
Drugstore and salon items help - yet cheap kitchen staples work too. Wash the face well first. Hold the face over steam or lay a hot towel on it for a few minutes so the pores loosen.
One way - coat the nose with a thin layer of Vaseline - press a blackhead extractor loop over each clogged pore. The jelly lets the tool slide - the loop lifts the plug of oil and dead cells. Do this only once or twice a week. Finish with a splash of cold water or a quick rub with an ice cube so the pores shrink back.

Another way - beat one egg white until foamy, stir in the juice of half a lemon. Tear strips of tissue, dip them in the mix and lay them on the nose or forehead. Wait until the sheet turns stiff, about ten to fifteen minutes - peel off and rinse with cool water. The egg white pulls out oil and the lemon brightens the skin. Pat with ice if you want the pores to close.
A third way - blend a teaspoon of white toothpaste with a teaspoon of baking soda and a few drops of water. Rub the paste on the nose with a soft toothbrush or fingertips using small circles. Rinse until every trace is gone - the skin looks cleaner.
