5. Hit the sauna.

Sweating can help minimize zits and blackheads. Sweat flowing through your pores helps flush out anything that might be clogging it. It's important that you always wash your face immediately after doing anything that makes you sweat.

6. Lemon toner.

Lemon juice is actually an amazing ally in the fight against blackheads. It's an astringent that really gets the job done. But before you go slicing up lemons to rub all up on your face, straight lemon juice can actually be harmful and painful to sensitive skin.

Mix it with water first. I usually do one part lemon juice 3 parts water. Apply to a cotton ball and gently rub on your face. Rinse with warm water. Do this every day when you wake and before you go to sleep.
