Beating blackheads

How can I get rid of blackheads?

Unfortunately blackheads are notoriously difficult to remove. However you can try steaming your skin, which allows the skin to sweat out toxins and cleanse from the inside out.

Just follow these simple steps.

Fill a bowl with hot water and sprinkle in a few drops of essential oil – tea tree oil is good for oily skin, rose soothes delicate or mature skin and lavender is great for all skin types. (Always check with a registered aromatherapist or pharmacist if you are pregnant as some oils can be harmful.)
Place a towel over the back of your head, lean your face over the bowl and bring the towel down around it. Be careful not to hold your face too close to the steam as this may cause broken capillaries. Steam for five minutes.
Steaming will soften any oil plugs, such as blackheads, that are blocking pores. To remove them, wrap both fingertips in tissue and press either side, gently wiggling the area, until the blackhead eases out.
