Beauty experts state that regular clean ups and a disciplined beauty regime are an effective way to get rid of blackheads.
Here are some easy tips to prevent and get rid of blackheads from your face and nose:
Facial Steam
Steam (like facial steam sauna) is one of the effective options to open your pores and remove blackheads. It can also remove whiteheads. Steam your face for about five minutes.

Cleansing
Cleansing is another way to remove blackheads. It is good to wash your face with a good cleanser at least two times in a day. Keep oily areas of your face like chin, cheeks and nose oil-free. Always use an oil-free cleanser. You can apply a moisturizer.
Home Face Scrub

Apply Tomato
Tomatoes contain natural antiseptic properties, which help dry blackheads. You can use it to get rid of blackheads. Take a small tomato. Peel it off. Mash it. Apply over the blackheads before going to bed. Leave the application overnight. Wash your face with clean water in the morning.
