Kitchen Remedies and Natural Cures for Blackheads
The body naturally cleans and moisturizes itself with oil. If your skin dries out (as with commercial skin cleansers and soaps), the body produces more oil. A thin oil cuts a heavy oil. Use sunflower or extra virgin olive oil. Sunflower oil is lighter than olive oil. Sunflower oil is a good cosmetic remover. Coat the face with oil; then use very hot wash cloth to cleanse the face; don't scrub because you want to leave a very thin layer of oil. A light oil cleanses away dirt and dirty oil, without causing the body to increase oil production. When you need a deep clean (for pimples or blackheads or clogged pours etc) add some Castor Oil. Experiment: start with just a dab of Castor Oil mixed with sunflower oil and/or olive oil. Castor Oil is a strong deep cleanser so don't go past 30% Castor Oil and no more than weekly or bi-weekly. The castor oil stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.

1. Use a metal blackhead removal tool (all brands are NOT equally effective) Right after a hot shower, use the tool.  Disinfect afterward to prevent infection.

2. Some people claim that undiluted lemon juice, apply regularly, will unclog a blackhead.
