You don’t have to get expensive products; Almay and Neutrogena are good brands to start with. Look in your local DrugStore . Popular brands will work well. I have really oily skin that’s really prone to blackheads and I find that using a face towel in the shower (when pores are more open) with a mild cleanser helps reduce blackheads. Use some pressure but do not rub so hard that you hurt yourself. This (the face towel tip) was a tip handed down from my grandma to mom (both maintained beautiful skin to their 60’s and 70’s) to me and it really helps. It will take some practice to find out what amount of pressure is right for you (I’ve been known to scrub too hard in the past – heh, heh) but it does work. Then you can continue with the rest of the three-step care after your shower. When I’m done with my shower, the toner I use is the generic brand from my DrugStore . I apply it with a cotton ball, allow it to dry then apply my moisturizer. The secret to using a moisturizer is not using too much. Your skin should absorb the moisturizer a few minutes after you apply it. If you still fill a slippery layer of product on your skin, you’ve used to much. A good rule to follow is use a pea-sized amount (at least, start with that) and dot it onto your face with your fingertip on forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. Then spread it onto the rest of your face and neck. OK, I know you said you wanted herbal remedies so here are my natural recommendations: For a cleanser, use lemon water. Just squeeze a small amount of lemon juice in some water and use this to rinse your face. As a scrub for blackheads, I’ve tried sugar with a bit of water. This works well in the shower or over the sink. Witch hazel works well as a good natural toner and mashed avocado is a good moisturizer (mash it with some lemon juice if you wish, apply it to your face and rinse thoroughly). I do encourage you to try DrugStore products. They do not have to be expensive to work well and they are so convenient (no slicing, squeezing or mashing).
