Many of us suffer from face blemishes. Acnes, pimples and blackheads. We try a lot of methods to get rid of them but they just don’t seem to work.
Do you think you can remove blackheads using a toothbrush? You will find out below.
Combated Blackheads
In my teenage years, I noticed that my skin soon became a hot spot for blackheads and acne. I tried every trick possible from the books and magazines, and tried them all desperately. They did not work. That was really heartbreaking!
Blackheads are one of the most irritating skin flaws.They are exposed directly to air and they don’t have skin over them which leads to being exposed to air and having black color. Blackheads occur when oil and dirt get trapped in the pores and become impact there. Getting rid of them is not as hard as you may think. Watch below:
One of my friends told me that I can get rid of them with the help of a toothbrush. That really worked.
1. Using Toothpaste:

Start off by applying a small amount of toothpaste on your blackhead. Let it settle there for about 5 minutes. Take an old and unused toothbrush, wet the area and the toothbrush and finally scrub it over the blackhead gently.
Scrub them for 3-5 minutes and then leave them like that. The toothpaste will dry over your skin and you can go to sleep. When you wake up, wash the toothpaste with exfoliating cleanser.
Now, gently pinch the skin and using an extracting tool, try to take out the dried blackhead. Your blackhead will come off easily.
If toothpaste doesn’t work we have another alternative for you.
2. Using Lemon Juice:

On your soft bristled toothbrush, pour a little amount of leon juice along with one or two drops of jojoba oil or neem oil. Neem oil is very benefical for the skin and it works for acne and blackheads as well.
Star by scrubbing the dipped toothbrush on the area affected by blackheads. Rinse it off with water after a minute or two and reapply lemon and oil on the toothbrush. Start srubbing it over your skin.
Perform it once in a week, and not more than that!
Do not forget to sterilise the toothbrush with hot boiling water after every use, because a dirty toothbrush can cause infection to your skin.
