Rub this scrub gently on your face, for 2 minutes and insist on the blackheads area. Then rinse abundantly with water and avoid the eye area. Why lemon juice? Well is perfect for removing dead cells and helps with complexion. It’s advisable to do this scrub once per week.

The best way to prevent the blackheads is by eliminating the excess sebum, by having a proper skincare routine which starts with cleansing and moisturise the skin with suitable products for your skin type.

• Wash your face daily, in the morning and evening to prevent the accumulation of sebum. Don’t do it more than twice a day, or you risk to get an irritated skin, which can aggravate the problem.
