To get rid of blackheads, clean your face and rub some baking soda with some mineral water on the affected area. Keep rubbing gently for about 2 minutes and then wash off.

To prevent blackheads from forming, keep your face clean. Blackheads typically occur on oily skin when it is not clean. To control oil on your face, the following scrubs and masks can be helpful. However, do a patch test first.

• Take equal amount of almonds and walnuts. Grind them coarsely. Now add some semolina or rice powder to the mix. Add skimmed milk next and make a paste. Apply on the face and gently scrub. This will also give an instant glow.
• Take 1 tsp. each of lemon juice, orange juice and tomato juice. Mix 1/2 tsp. of ground peanuts or walnuts. Use as a mask to reduce oiliness. When the skin on the face begins to feel tightened, scrub off gently with some water.
• Grate 1/4 of an apple. Mix with 1/2 tsp. of oatmeal. Make a paste of the mix with some skimmed milk. Apply on the face as a mask.
