Blackheads are every skincare enthusiast’s worst nightmare.

These pesky spots usually appear on the T-zone when excess sebum and dead skin cells clog your pores – and man, they can be stubborn!

Thankfully, you can try some home remedies to get rid of blackheads at home.

3 Proven Home Remedies to Get Rid of Blackheads Quickly

1. Use Baking Soda

Baking soda is often used in skincare for cleaning out pores. It can be a gentle exfoliant and is one of the cheapest ingredients for removing blackheads.

Follow the steps below:

Add one teaspoon of baking soda to a container with some mineral water.
Mix well to make a paste.
Massage a generous amount on the affected area.
After a few minutes, rinse it off with warm water.

Warning: Don’t try this remedy more than twice a week as it can be abrasive.

2. Make a Cinnamon-Lemon Paste

This is one of the most effective home remedies to get rid of blackheads.

All you have to do is:

Make a paste with one teaspoon of cinnamon and lemon juice.
Apply it to your blackheads.
Leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes.
Rinse it off and repeat every day until your skin is completely clear.

3. Use an Essential Oil

While several essential oils help remove blackheads, tea tree and lavender oils are our favorite. You can apply them directly to the target area. However, you’ll have to dilute them for sensitive skin.

Follow the steps below:

Apply a drop of organic tea tree or lavender oil to the affected area

Add one to four drops of the essential oil to a teaspoon of carrier oil, such as olive or coconut.
Massage the oil/mixture onto your skin.
Repeat after every few days for best results.
