- Baking soda
- Water
- Deep-cleaning mask

Step 1
Wash the blackhead, using antibacterial cleanser. Massage the cleanser into your skin, helping to thoroughly clean your pores. Antibacterial cleanser helps to remove the day's makeup, sweat and grime that can clog your pores and worsen your blackhead.
-
Step 2
Distribute toner onto a cotton ball and swipe it over the blackhead. Toner helps to balance your skin's oil production, preventing excess oil from lodging in your pores and worsening your blackhead. Toner also cleanses the skin, removing any grime that your cleanser might have missed.
-
Step 3
Rub witch hazel into your blackhead. Witch hazel works as a natural astringent. It contains tannins that soak up excess oil and grime, helping to thoroughly clean your blackhead.
-
Step 4
Create a paste by mixing equal parts baking soda and water. Place the paste over your blackhead. Let it remain there for approximately 20 minutes before rinsing it off. The baking soda absorbs excess oil and kills bacteria, helping to deeply clean your blackhead.
-
Step 5
Use a deep-cleaning mask on your blackhead. Choose a mask that contains mud or citric acid, both of which work to eliminate bacteria and excess oil.
