Begin by putting a dab of milk of magnesia on your skin. Add a pinch of tea tree oil mixed with water. In Aromatherapy and in Ayurvedic solutions, also used to get rid of blackheads are coriander, thymus vulgaris, peppermint, and lemongrass. 
See Aromatherapy for skin care. Look for a spice that kills bacteria but not your skin. Blackheads form when your pore is too large. Shrink your pore with an ice cube for a few seconds. 
Add a few drops of tea tree oil to a cup of distilled water. Tea tree oil helps to get rid of acne by destroying the bacteria on the skin.  Read more about tea tree oil at the Tea Tree Oil Uses site. Read more about the uses of neem oil (rubbed on the gums in India) at Discover Neem. In India people chew on neem twigs. The twig acts as a neem oil toothbrush. Oils of various tree twigs, fruit, and various plants have been used (and exported) since neolithic times among the great civilizations of the Indus, Sumeria, and Persia.
Wash your face with crushed sesame seeds. Sesame oil also gets rid of bacteria on the skin or gums.If you have an oily skin, instead of smoothing an antibacterial natural oil on your face, dry up the sebacious follicle with a solution like milk of magnesia, egg white, lemon juice, citrus peel, ground sage, or a simple and inexpensive paste of salt and water.
Clean Blackheads Away with magnesium citrate powder and water. Mix a tablespoon of Natural Calm magnesium citrate powder with a few drops of water. Apply the paste to your enlarged pores. Let dry overnight and rinse off. You can read more information about magnesium citrate powder at Natural Calm.
 
Buy magnesium citrate powder from most health food stores or online. Dab a few drops of neem oil on your blackheads. See the site for medicinal uses of neem oil at Neem Medicinals. Additional uses of neem oil for skin issues is at the Indian Neem Tree Company ™.
