This could be very useful if you suffer from blackheads…

Contrary to popular belief, blackheads aren’t caused by poor personal hygiene and dirtiness, they’re caused by excess oil on the skin.

Anyone who’s encountered a problem with blackheads will know that they can be pesky little blighters to try and eradicate.

Try not to worry esteemed readers, if this handy little tip works, worrying about the little black dots splattered across your face could be a thing of the past.

All of you need to do is mix together some lemon, salt and water and then apply it to your skin.

Massage the mixture into your face for 2-4 minutes and then rinse off the mixture once again. Afterwards just wash your face with some normal face cleanser and after a week of two, those blackheads will be a thing of the past.

However, a word of warning, do not repeat this process more than one or twice a week because overuse of the trick can be unnecessarily harsh on your skin.
