Yes, it is those tiny, pesky black spots around your nose area that you hardly notice until of course, someone points out mercilessly. The excess oil on your skin, which is actually white, settles into open pores and oxidizes, and becomes black in colour.

1. Oatmeal and yogurt mask
Prepare a mask using oatmeal, olive oil and yogurt to have clear and spotless skin. Oatmeal serves as an excellent exfoliator and gets the blackheads off of your skin. Yogurt cleanses the skin of dirt, thanks to lactic acid present in olive oil that helps moisturise the skin. You can add drops of lemon juice to better clear out the skin of dirt and oil.
You need:
- Oatmeal powder
- Plain yogurt
- Olive oil
- Lemon juice
How to use: Grind oatmeal into a crumbly powder. Take two tablespoons of ground oatmeal and mix it with one-fourth cup of plain yogurt, one tablespoon of olive oil and juice of half a lemon. Mix it well for a minute and keep aside. Wash your face and pat dry and then apply the mask on your face. Leave it for 20 minutes and wash off with a mild cleanser.
