Blackheads

For blackheads, steaming and washing with soap is the, best remedy. Dried lime flowers added to a pint of boiling water make a nice solution for a facial steam bath. Steam your face for 10 minutes and your pores will be wide open. Then press the skin around blackheads with cotton wool or tissue. Then close the pores with an astringent lotion.

If some blackheads are stubborn enough not to pop out with ordinary steam facial, then take a steam face bath to which epsom salts have been added.

For more resistant blackheads, pat some almond oil on them and gently press with hot towels. After steam face bath and an epsom salt steam bath, this treatment will surely loosen the remaining blackheads. *

Sometimes a solution made of 6 ounces of distilled water with 27 grains of bicarbonate of soda dissolved in it, works wonders when rubbed on blackheads.

Now mix three drops of iodine. Soak a soft towel in this hot solution and put it on the blackhead. Keep on changing and pressing the very hot towels several times. Then press and remove blackheads with a tissue or cotton wool.

Milk helps to get rid of blackheads permanently in some cases. Wash your face with warm water and sponge it for fifteen minutes with tepid milk every day.

A liquid scrub for blackheads is made with four ounces of powdered almonds, two ounces of glycerine soap and one ounce of Multani mitti dissolved in a little water. This solution is to be rubbed on blackheads.
