Discover the 50p kitchen cure that banishes blackheads instantly

Are you using specialised cosmetics for blackheads and finding the problem isn’t going away? Try a method that costs just 50p, and its effectiveness will positively surprise you. Blackheads disappear instantly.

The use of specialised gels and pastes for blackheads is common practice. However, many people feel tempted to squeeze them out mechanically, which can lead to skin damage. There is an alternative that costs only 50p and guarantees a flawless complexion. The necessary ingredients can be found in the kitchen.

Dark spots in the "T" zone may seem like a minor problem, but fighting them is difficult for many. Mechanically removing blackheads is painful and damages the skin, and the problem often returns.

Blackheads, commonly known as comedones, are a mild form of acne. They are divided into open and closed types. Open blackheads are dark brown, while closed ones are white and less visible.

Contrary to appearances, blackheads do not only affect teenagers. The reasons for their formation are diverse, ranging from improper skin cleansing to excessive sebum production, hormonal changes, and keratinisation of hair follicle openings.

In the fight against blackheads, acids such as salicylic, azelaic, retinol, and niacinamide help. However, the fastest results come from peel-off masks, which are known from popular online videos. You can make one yourself. Use plain gelatine, which you can indeed find in the kitchen.

To prepare a gelatine mask, you need two tablespoons of gelatine and two tablespoons of water. Combine the ingredients and heat them in a double boiler until the gelatine dissolves. Once cooled, apply the mask to the area with blackheads and wait 15 minutes. Then, remove the mask briskly. You'll see the effect immediately.

What else to pay attention to? Online, there is much talk about a corn mask that is especially recommended for acne and pimples. It will also deal with blackheads. It cleanses and soothes irritations, giving tired skin a bit of a glow.

How to make a corn mask: Wash an ear of corn, grate it, and cook it. After it cools, add a tablespoon of milk and some cornflour. Mix the prepared mixture thoroughly and apply it to your face for fifteen minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water.

Baking soda can also help. Mix baking soda with water to prepare a homemade scrub until a paste forms. Apply it to the blackheads with a toothbrush. Massage for a few minutes, then rinse with warm water.
