Did you know baby oil can get rid of black heads?


Yes, I said baby oil and it can save you a lot of money from buying those products that is targeted at black heads.


simple and inexpensive method; using a few drops of baby oil and gently massage around the nose area about 20 minutes. However, in less than 20 minutes you will find little particles on your fingers.

After 20 minutes,  wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Don't forget to apply toner and moisturiser after! Do this every other day to get a spot clean nose.

Before you do this, cleanse your face to get rid of the dead skin and oil.

If during the 20 minutes the baby oil has dried up, just add a few more drops and continue.




I know there are numerous ways to get rid of black heads; pore strips, blackhead extraction, facial scrub, etc, but do they work and how much are they costing you?

I myself haven't used pore strips before but I have heard many complaints, either; not all black heads are gone or black heads are back the next day. 

Extracting blackheads can be a painful thing and you have to be cautious otherwise it can result to infection. A few years ago, I went to the beautician to get my blackheads extracted. It was so painful and my face looked hideous with red marks every where which stayed for a few days. Everyone asked me what had happened to me. I used to occasionally do it myself with tissues wrapped around both fingers but I didn't want to have a red face again.

I've always been sceptical about scrub, although it get rids of dead skin but it will make your skin thinner. And as for black heads, I felt it only got rid of the top layer of black heads instead of giving my nose a deep cleanse.


Anyway, you don't have to do it in front of a mirror, you can do it while you're watching TV. Give it a try!
