Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of Baking Soda: Baking soda helps in exfoliating the skin and unclogging pores.
1 tablespoon of Honey: Honey has antibacterial properties and helps moisturize the skin.
1 teaspoon of Lemon Juice: Lemon juice contains citric acid, which helps in reducing excess oil and
Clearing out blackheads.
1 teaspoon of Olive Oil (or Coconut Oil): Olive oil or coconut oil helps in balancing the skin's natural oils and prevents over-drying.
Instructions:
Mixing the Ingredients:
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil (or coconut oil) until you have a smooth paste. Adjust the quantities if needed to get the right consistency.
Cleanse Your Face:
Start with a clean face. Gently wash your face with a mild cleanser and pat it dry with a clean towel.
Application:
Apply the paste evenly on your face, concentrating on areas with blackheads. Avoid the delicate skin around your eyes.
Massage and Rest:
With your fingertips, gently massage the paste into your skin using circular motions for 2-3 minutes. This helps in exfoliating the skin and loosening the blackheads.
Let it Sit:
Leave the paste on your face for another 5-10 minutes. This allows the ingredients to work on your skin.
Rinse Off:
After the mask has dried, rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water until all the paste is removed.
Moisturize:
Pat your face dry with a clean towel and apply a light, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
Frequency:
Use this remedy once or twice a week for best results. Overuse might irritate the skin.
Remember, everyone's skin is different. If you experience any irritation or discomfort, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. Also, it's essential to maintain a good skincare routine and keep your skin clean to prevent blackheads from reoccurring.
