Whiteheads, the blocked skin ducts, can spoil your entire look. They are clogged pores which are caused due to the accumulation of sweat, dirt or sebum. But, with some simple yet effective methods, you can get rid of whiteheads easily.

Taking daily steam is probably the best way to cure whiteheads. Steam forces the blocked pores on your face to open up and unclog, allowing bacteria and sebum to escape. After the steam therapy, wash your face with a mild cleanser and cold water.

2. Lemon Juice

Since lemon is a rich source of Vitamin C and has acidic properties; it helps in drying out the excess oil on the face and opens up the pores. Lemon juice should be mixed with water and then applied; otherwise, it might cause dryness and irritation.

3. Sugar Scrub
