Blackheads and whiteheads are however in more amounts than acne and zits but at the same time they can be dealt very easily at home. Try the following home remedies to get rid of blackheads and whiteheads -

- If you have black heads on face especially nose then the following remedy is the best which works. Take facial steam or when you come out of a steam bath immediately work on the blackheads as the skin is soft at this time. With the help of a blackhead remover remove the blackheads form the soft skin. The pain will be very less when blackheads are removed by this method and also they come off easily. If you try on dry hard skin there will be lot of pain and the blackhead will also not come off easily. Similarly a whitehead can also be removed. After taking the steam when the pores have softened, prick the apex of the whitehead with a clean sterilized needle. Gently press the white head from the sides and clean the area with a cotton ball to avoid spreading to other parts of the body.
