Bye, bye blackheads! Try a scrub with lemon juice to get rid of them for good. Lemon juice has antiseptic properties that aid in killing off bacteria, Balensi explains. It’s also great for reducing sebum and inflammation. Just be mindful with the amount of lemon juice you use—it's acidic, so too much can irritate skin. And it can make your skin extra sensitive to the sun, so always apply sunscreen afterward to protect against UV damage.

Recipe:
½ tsp lemon
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp purified/distilled water

Mix the ingredients well and rub the paste onto skin in a circular motion. Gently scrub for two to three minutes, being careful not to rub too hard. Rinse off with warm water and follow with the rest of your skincare routine
