You can easily get rid of the annoying blackheads on your chin by following some simple skincare tips. The idea is to keep your skin and pores clean to keep the blackheads from coming back. Here is how you can do that:
1. Exfoliate Regularly
Regular exfoliation removes dead skin cells from your chin, thus unclogging the pores. However, avoid over exfoliating as this may worsen the condition. Use gentle scrubs to exfoliate the area.
2. Prep The Skin By Exposing It To Steam
Before you start extracting the blackheads, prepare your skin. Pour some warm water in a bowl and bend over it. Cover your head with a towel. This will open the pores and make extraction easier. You can add a few drops of tea tree oil to the water.
3. Avoid Squeezing The Blackhead With Your Nails
This will further aggravate the condition. Instead, use a blackhead remover or buy a blackhead removing tool.
4. Try Using Blackhead Removal Strips
There are many good quality blackhead removing strips available on the market. You can use any of them to avoid scarring your chin.
5. Use Sea Salt For Blackhead Removal
The coarse texture of the sea salt helps to exfoliate your skin and unclog the skin pores. This helps in reducing blackheads. You can mix sea salt with a few drops of lemon juice and a bit of water and then massage the mixture on your chin. This remedy will help dissolve all the dirt and dead skin cells from the pores while cleansing your oily skin.
Quick Tip
You may also add raw honey to the mixture to boost its moisturizing properties.
6. Consume Foods Rich In Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that protects and nurtures your skin and prevents acne, pimples, blemishes, and blackheads. It fights the harmful free radicals and inhibits bacterial growth (1).
Consume foods rich in vitamin C, such as lemon or any citrus fruits, red bell pepper, papaya, strawberries, and dark leafy vegetables. You can also take vitamin C supplements. They can help boost collageni XA common protein found in the body that gives structure and strength to connective tissues, bones, and skin. .
