Natural Cure for Whiteheads
A whitehead is basically a kind of pimple — like pimples, whiteheads are formed when a sebaceous gland gets blocked as a result of dead skin cells clogging a pore in the skin. The gland continues to produce sebum, and the resulting build up forms what is known as a whitehead. Whiteheads, unlike normal pimples, do not have any infection, they are simply a build up of sebum, so in a way you are fortunate.
Getting rid of whiteheads however is sometimes rather difficult. Still, there is a good chance that one of these home remedies will be successful for you. Firstly, however, you need to avoid bursting the whiteheads or otherwise interfering with them by scratching, plucking, or squeezing. This will only invite infection, and can also result in scarring, which will remain long after the whiteheads themselves have gone.
To get rid of the whiteheads, wash your face several times a day with plain water. Once or twice in the day, you can use a mild soap. A couple of times a day, after you wash your face, you can apply a mixture of turmeric powder, lime juice, and honey to your face. Leave this on for half an hour, and then wash it off gently with water. You can also use a paste of rose water, sandalwood powder, and turmeric powder.
