How to Get Rid of Body Blackheads

Blackheads are ugly happens that appear on your skin when you have too much oil in the pores of your skin. Blackheads make when your skin follicles enlarge and let in more oil than usual. Your skin absorbs more oil than natural, which may or may not became dirty with bacteria, making a bump on your skin with a dark color peak. The most popular places on your body that blackheads will form are your chin, cheeks, nose, and forehead. You can, still, get rid of blackheads on your body by cleaning your skin, using the proper cream and trying treatment.

  • Expose the blackheads on your body to heated steam to get rid of them. The hot temperature from the steam will expand your pores, providing all the dirt and oil that is trapped inside to release. This will shrink and remove your blackheads. Boil water and pour into a shallow bowl. Put your blackheads over the bowl close comfortable so that you feel the heat, but far enough away so that it doesn't scald your skin. Place a towel over your head or whatever part of your body with the blackhead, trapping it between the bowl and the towel. Keep your blackheads over the hot water for at least 5 minutes. Wash the area of skin you just exposed to the skin w/ a mild soap so that you remove all the bacteria and released from your skin.
  • Use aloe vera to get rid of blackheads on your body. Aloe vera takes an enzyme that cuts the infection from the bacteria in your blackheads. You can apply an aloe vera gel or the juice from an aloe vera plant. Squeeze the juice from the leaf of an aloe vera plant, or buy gel from your pharmacy. Make sure you buy a gel that has a high percentage of aloe vera in it. Rub the gel or the liquid into your blackheads and let it disappear.
  • Go to your dermatologist. If your blackheads are really stubborn, your dermatologist can prescribe medication that contains a retinoid, or a vitamin A derivative, that will speed up the rate your skin cells reproduce. This helps heal the skin cells around your blackheads and keeps them from clogging up w/ bacteria. The most popular types of retinoid medication are Retin-A, Tazora and Differin.
  • Get rid of blackheads on your body by using an extractor. An extractor is a tool that looks like a pair of scissors w/ loops on either end, and you use it to remove the bacteria and puss backed up inside your blackheads. Make sure the extractor is disinfected by boiling it or by using cleansing. Put the loops of the extractor around your blackhead using pressure. Squeeze until the bacteria inside comes out. The bacteria is made up of the dirt and oil clogged up in your skin. Be very careful using the extractors as they can leave permanent scars on your skin.
