Blackheads are small bumps that appear on your skin due to clogged hair follicles. These bumps are called “blackheads” because the surface looks dark or black. Blackheads are a mild type of acne that usually form on the face, but they can also appear on the back, chest, neck, arms, and shoulders.
Blackheads form when a clog or plug develops in the opening of hair follicles in your skin. Each follicle contains one hair and a sebaceous gland that produces oil, called sebum, which helps keep your skin soft. Dead skin cells and oils collect in the opening to the skin follicle, producing a bump called a comedone. If the skin over the bump stays closed, the bump is called a whitehead. When the skin over the bump opens, exposure to the air causes it to look black and a blackhead forms.
IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTIES WITH THIS SKIN PROBLEM, WE PRESENT YOU MASK THAT WILL THREAT THESE BLACKHEADS.

-2 or 3 ice cubes (optional)
-Small bowl
Take a tablespoon salt and 2 tablespoons of mint toothpaste in the small bowl. Mix thoroughly to create a nice paste. Apply the paste on the nose and allow it to dry for 5 minutes. Put some water over it and gently massage in circular motion. Once the nose gets cleaned, rub the ice cube over the it. It will help in closing the pores. Dry the nose and you will have it clear.
HOW THIS REMEDY WORKS?
Salt and the mint work in the following ways to help get rid of the blackheads.
–Mint in Toothpaste – It helps in opening the pores and killing bacteria. On the other hand, the toothpaste also benefits. It helps deep cleansing the pores and in plucking out the blackheads.
–Salt – It has natural antibacterial properties. Salt also helps in defoliating your skin naturally. There is a good reason for using this combination because salt doesn’t get dissolved in toothpaste.
Note:
These ingredients can cause redness of the nose. The redness is going to last for a short time and then go away.
If you have dry skin, you must use some moisturizer after using this treatment. Massage gently.
