Instructions

• 1

  Wash your face daily or even twice daily with a warm, wet washcloth. Keeping the skin clean will keep oil and dirt from clogging your pores and forming blackheads.

• 2

  Fill a bowl with very hot water and then place your face a few inches from the surface of the water to steam the blackheads you already have. Drape a towel over the back of your head to prevent the steam from escaping. Take the warm washcloth and gently squeeze the skin with the blackheads to remove them.

• 3

  Grind fenugreek leaves --- available at most health food stores --- into a paste and spread it on the blackheads. Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes before washing it off with warm water.

• 4

  Squeeze a couple lemons and mix the lemon juice with an equal amount of rose water --- also available at health food stores --- and then rub the mixture on your face. Wash your face with water after about 15 to 30 minutes.
