How to Get Rid of Blackheads on the Nose Without Meds

Create a natural face mask to remove blackheads.

When you look really closely at the skin on your nose, you might notice small black spots embedded in the pores. These little black spots -- known as blackheads -- are specs of dirt and bacteria that clog the pores and may eventually turn into acne. If you notice blackheads on your nose, you don’t have to use harsh chemicals and cleansers, which can dry out your skin. Instead, use a combination of gelatin and milk to create a homemade facial mask that will pull the blackheads out and improve the look of your skin.

Things You'll Need

• Gelatin
• Milk
• Plastic container
• Spoon
• Vitamin E oil

Instructions

1. Combine 1 tbsp. of gelatin with 3 tbsp. of milk, in a plastic container.

2. Stir the mixture until the gelatin reaches a damp, chunky consistency. Add a few drops of vitamin E oil to the mixture. Vitamin E is known to reduce scarring from previous acne and helps improve skin's health.

3. Dip your fingers into the gelatin mixture, and apply it to your skin wherever you have blackheads. Leave it on, until the mask has dried completely.

4. Peel the mask from your skin. As you do so, the blackheads will come off along with the mask. Wash off any remaining mask with warm water.
