Homemade Blackhead Remover Treatment

Recipe for Blackhead Remover

1 TBS Unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 TBS Milk

  • Mix together the gelatin and milk then heat in the microwave for about 12 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir with a wooden stir stick (a clean one!). Generously apply to problem areas on the face. Be careful not to apply too close to the eyes.
  • Let completely dry (between 15 to 30 minutes) then carefully peel it off. The stuff clogging your pores will be stuck on the peel, the result is similar to the expensive blackhead removal strips you can buy.
  • After removing the peel, wash face in very cold water to close the pores.

Tip:

  • For stubborn blackheads, try a facial steambath first, then using the blackhead peel above. This will open up the pores as well as soften up the blackheads for easier removal.

Facial Steambath Directions

First wash your face with facial cleansing soap and water. Then fill a bowl with boiling water and place your face down close to the water to be near the steam. Cover your head with a towel to trap the steam around your face. Steam your face for about 10 minutes, then make and apply the blackhead treatment peel above.

  • Optional: Add tea bags or epsom salt or dried lavender to the boiling water.

    Here’s a tip to remove those whiteheads that I get on my cheek and jawline that kinda feel like beard stubble….Prell Shampoo. I use a little on a wet washcloth while in the shower and wash my face with it. Since it’s a stripping shampoo it melts the whitehead stubble away. Just be sure and use a gentle face moisturizer to counteract the stripping effect afterwards.

      Equal parts baking soda and water can loosen blackheads so they can be easily cleansed away. This is less expensive and doesn’t involve gelatin (which is made from boiled animal hide). Baking soda is definitely preferable to any vegans, vegetarians, or omnivores who would rather not treat their face with other animals’ skin.

    I tried the gelatin milk mixture for blackheads…..WOW did it clean out my pores!
    It was simple to make and worked like a charm, I will be trying it again ! Next time I will cut the amounts in half since it made too much for me to use in one use. I will pass this on !
