Hey guys! 

Welcome back again.                

HOW TO REMOVE BLACKHEADS AT HOME NATURALLY?

Today We're gonna be talking about oil cleansing and why it is the best ever method to remove not only blackheads and whiteheads but also the dead skin cells and dirt from your skin.

Before proceeding to the steps lets get to know why it is the best ever method.

WHY OIL CLEANSING?

We all used to learn this simple behaviour of ions in chemistry    

•  " Like dissolves like "  

Just like any other form of acne, Blackheads and whiteheads grow in our skin out of excessive oil build up and accumulation of dead skin cells.

So, the idea behind oil cleansing is to load the skin with natural and clean oils and pull out the excess oil produced by our skin glands that causes acne, blackheads, breakouts etc. in your skin. 

Clearly, Oil cleansing can be used on acne prone skin.

Now you'll get how oil cleansing provides a very deep clean for your skin and at the same time your skin will get to absorb the goodness of natural oil followed by a good facial massage.

Let's dive into How do we do Oil Cleansing to get the best out of it.

Step 1. Steaming.

For this step, Take some hot water in a container. Damp a small cloth in this water and gently pat on your face with the cloth. Make sure that the water is not too hot.

Steaming open up your pores and allow the skin to absorb the ingredient deep into your skin. Also It makes easy removal of dirt and blackheads from your skin . That's the reason steaming is a very important step in any facial.

However, if you are out of time, you can totally skip this step while oil cleansing because when we massage oil in our face for a significant amount of time it eventually pulls all the dirt out of your face. Steaming just makes the whole process smoother.  We'll talk more about this thing in later part of this post itself.

Step 2. Choosing the right oil.

For this part, you can choose any of your favourite oil. But to get the better results, you can always add

little essential oil. 

Different types of essential oils have different benefits for skin so you can choose one according to your skin problem . 

I love applying different types of oils in my face and hair so what I do is I keep a lot of varieties and switch it according to my need.

So, I'm sharing some combinations and what benefit it has to our skin so that you can choose from my list according to what suits you best.

Step 3. Massage the oil right way.

We all know, main part of oil cleansing is massaging the but massage using the correct technique is very important. Often people massage the wrong way that can affect your facial muscles in a wrong way and you won't even understand what's happening. 

So, to avoid these common mistakes follow these simple steps to massage your face not only while oil cleansing but also while applying your daily skincare.

Also make sure to massage well for good 15-25 minutes and apply a good amount as well. 

Step 4. Wash it out with a good facewash.

Now that you are done with the massage, wash out your face with a good facewash that suits you well to clean all the oil along with the blackheads, dirt and pollutants. 

Make sure to clean it well. Leaving excessive oil on your face can be very harmful for skin. 

As I've already mentioned, excessive oil on our face when meet the external dirt/pollutants, it causes acne, blackheads, breakouts etc in the first place and to remove these we are pulling this excess oil out using oil cleansing method. So, there's no point of leaving it on skin again.

Hope you get my point.

Step 5. Apply moisturizer

Now, the last step is to moisturize. Again, a very important step. Using oil cleansing methods we pull out all the dirt pollutants etc. out along with excess oil produced naturally by our skin. Sometimes your skin looses some extra oil in the process. 

So, to restore your natural moisture, apply a good serum or moisturizer or may be both as per your skin need and leave it on skin.

You would've heard of a lot of face masks and DIYS to remove blackheads and whiteheads. I personally have used a lot of these on my face before and most of those face masks actually do the job but it's quite painful and it gives you a very temporary solution.

After 1-2 days only you'll start getting it all again.

 So, I found this painless and a long term method which is beneficial for our skin in a lot of ways and the outcome stays quite longer.  

Should I oil cleanse every day?   

This is one of the most frequently asked question, so I decided to answer it straight. 

No, you should not.

You can do oil cleansing twice or thrice a week if you want but even once a week will give you a satisfactory result. 

I won't recommend doing it more than thrice a week as it provides a very deep clean, doing it a lot may damage your cells. 

So I'm pretty sure, after reading all this you should at least try this once and see the result yourself. I bet there won't be any going back .
