Brilio.net - Facial skin problems are not only limited to acne, because there are other problems that are also quite disturbing. Call it blackheads. This facial skin problem is usually characterized by the appearance of black or white spots that appear on several areas of the face, such as the nose, chin, forehead, and sometimes on the cheeks .
Apart from making your face dull, textured and uneven in color, blackheads can also trigger the appearance of inflamed acne. Not without reason, this skin problem forms when the skin pores are blocked by excess sebum, dead skin cells, and dirt (such as makeup residue and dust).
Not only that, blackheads can also appear due to several other factors, such as hormonal changes, use of skin care products that clog pores, and nutritional imbalances in the body due to consuming foods that contain too much fat.
In the facial area, blackheads most often appear on the nose. The reason is, the nose is the T-zone area of the face which has more sebum production than other areas, making it easier for pores to become blocked. If not cleaned immediately, clogged pores will turn into blackheads.
To overcome the problem of blackheads, there are various ways you can do it. Such as maintaining clean skin by diligently washing your face regularly, avoiding products that can clog pores, and maintaining a balanced diet.
Not only that, you can also use various skincare products, have treatments at beauty clinics, and use natural ingredients. Well, you can see one of them in a video shared by a woman via her personal TikTok account @kim_sohan10. In the uploaded video, he uses lemon and toothpaste to remove blackheads on his nose.
Lemon contains dirt that causes blackheads on the face.
Lemon is an acidic fruit that is high in vitamin C. This vitamin content has various benefits for skin beauty. One of them is to overcome the problem of blackheads in the nose area. The citric acid in lemon also functions to shrink and clean the pores that cause blackheads. Lemon is even effective for deep cleaning pores, in an effort to prevent the appearance of blackheads.

In fact, toothpaste is not only used to clean teeth, but is also effective for cleaning blackheads in the nose area. According to Derm Collective, toothpaste helps remove blackheads by exfoliating. The reason is, toothpaste has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects which can be a mainstay for removing dirt that causes blackheads. Not only that, toothpaste is also an effective exfoliator that deeply cleans dirt in the pores.
With just these two ingredients, you can make a scrub that is claimed to be able to remove blackheads on the face, especially the nose. This facial scrub is also believed to be able to reduce the size of skin pores. This is how to make and use it, as reported by briliobeauty.net from the TikTok account @kim_sohan10, Thursday (9/5).
