Hair (massage)

Hair - Scalp

1. Massage your hair with oil before going to bed and wash it in the morning when you wake up and comb while it is still wet to reduce breakages. This is to help increase blood circulation to the scalp. Furthermore, combine about 10 drops of sage and rosemary essential oils and use it. You can also use olive oil. Carrot oil is also good.

2. You can brush your hair to increase blood flow to the scalp. Do this for about 3 minutes. It also helps in sebum distribution.

Skin -- Blocked pores

A gentle way of dealing with blocked pores is to use a clay facial mask. You can either put it over the whole face, or simply only over the nose. The advantage of the latter is that you don't have to sit there with a stiff face, waiting for the clay to dry. The fine clay in those masks will pull the blackheads right out.

How to Stop Blackheads Forming
The best way of getting rid of blackheads is to stop them forming in the first place. The best way to do that is to clean your face regularly with a mild soap, ideally at least twice a day.

Exfoliate regularly
Many people fail to realize the importance of regularly exfoliating the skin. Remember that one of the causes of blackheads and acne is the accumulation of dead skin cells. Make it a habit to exfoliate your skin twice weekly using a gentle facial exfoliant. This will ensure that you slough off dead skin cells and allow new ones to surface.

Reduce stress
Did you know that stress is also one common cause of blackheads? It messes up with your hormones and triggers overproduction of sebum. You might notice that you get acne and blackheads when you are studying for exam week, rushing for a deadline, or failing to get enough sleep. Keep your schedule in check and manage your time more efficiently. Also exercise regularly and practice yoga and relaxation techniques. Try to get plenty of sleep every night, as much as possible. This allows your body to recover and have enough energy the next morning.

Skin -- Taking Steam

 Facial Steaming

There are many benefits of facial steaming for skin.

Source: healthmunsta

This is by far the easiest and quickest way to get rid of blackheads naturally. This remedy softens and loosens up your face, naturally driving the blackhead out.

Tip:

Never do facial steaming while your pot is still on the burner! First remove your container from the heat source carefully onto a flat surface before you can continue. If you aren't careful, you might burn or scald your body!

What you need:

• Pan for boiling water
• A large fluffy towel
• Lemon rind (optional)

Directions:

Bring to a boil 3 to 4 cups of purified water. Remove the pot from heat source after it has begun to boil. Plop a lemon rind into the boiling water and fetch a large towel. Sit with the towel draped over your head and place your face over the steam, like a tent. Not too close or it will scald you! Stay in that tent for as long as you can. (It might be hard when you're doing it the first time but after you get used to it you can stay in longer). After 3 to 5 minutes, remove the towel and wash your face as you normally do. Avoid harsh cleansers. Pat dry with a soft fluffy towel.
