I am using a brand “iwhite” chose the one that says “black and white head removal”. First wash your face then apply it in the area where there are blackheads, it’s like a glue, sometimes it feels cold but smells really good. Wait for it, you peel the removal and the blackheads are gone. I tried it on my skin and it’s worked for me.

hira khan says
Place your face over the bowl, putting a towel over your head to trap the steam. Stay there for about ten minutes, then immeditaly wash your face with a mild soap to remove the dirt and oil you just released. You can also expose your black heads and white heads to a steam room or the steam created by a hot shower. Apply a thin paste to your infected areas and let it sit on your face for at least 25 minutes. You will probably feel a burning sensation when you apply the toothpaste, but this is normal and will pass. Once you remove the toothpaste, the top of your blackheads and whiteheads will disappear, but you still need to thoroughly wash your face to remove the buildup underneath. Repeat this home remedy every other day for two weeks. Soak rice in milk for 5 hours and then grind this in a blender until it is paste-like in consistency. Use the paste as a scrub on affected areas of the body. Mix three tablespoons of plain yogurt with two tablespoons of oatmeal. Add one teaspoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture. Stir the mixture thoroughly and apply it to the effective area of the face. Let the mixture sit for five to seven minutes then rinse off with cold water.

hi, plz told me some natural ways how to ged rid of pimples fastly and how to make skin tone fare fast
hira khan says
Drink lots of water: drinking lots of water Flushes toxins and makes your whole body healthier. You should drink at least half your body weight in ounces. Eat as healthy as possible: your skin is basically a reflection of how healthy your body is on the inside. So by eating healthier, your skin will look healthier. Personally, I havent been drinking soda and have been eating right and my skin looks so much healthier. Exercising is a good idea too. Try to clean things that my touch your face: make sure you wash your pillow cases, clean your cellphone, wash your hands before touching your face, clean your makeup brushes, etc. If you have bangs, it could be causing your forehead to break out so wash your hair if its oily. if oil transfers to your face, oil can build up causing your to break out. Mix honey and brown sugar together. Rub gently on your face. Wait like 3-5 minutes. Rinse. This exfoliates and smooths your skin. Mix PLAIN yogurt (no sugar) and oatmeal and put all over your face. This moisturizes your skin Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Rinse. finally, boil some hot water in a bowl. Let it cool a little bit. Put some real lavender in it if you have some. (or lavender essential oil) put your face close to it and place a towel over your head and the bowl. Steam your face for however long you want to. Don’t burn yourself.
