Iodine and Epsom Salt. Epsom Salt is a good exfoliant that plugs the sebum and the dead skin cells from pores. Mix a teaspoon of Epsom Salt with four drops of Iodine in half a cup of hot water. Stir until the salt dissolve. Once the mixture has reached a temperature that your skin can take, apply it on your face using a cotton pad. Wait 15 minutes then rinse with water.
Baking soda. A very effective mask in fighting blackheads is baking soda mask. Mix one teaspoon of baking soda with tap water until a paste is formed which will not flow and have the consistency of a cream.
