Boil a pot of water on the stove, then set it on a hot pad or folded towel on the counter. Drape a large towel over your head to make a tent, then lean over the pot with your face approximately 12 inches above it. Steam your face for 10 minutes. If your skin is acne-prone, you can add a few drops of tea tree oil, a natural antiseptic, to the water.

Pat your face dry with the towel, and wrap your index fingers in tissue.
Press blackheads from your pores gently with the tips of your fingers. They should be soft and easy to remove. Do not force them out, which could cause scarring.
Apply a salicylic acid toner using a cotton ball to dry up any excess oil and close the pores.
Lemon

For squeaky-clean pores, raid your fruit basket twice a week. The citric acid in lemons works to exfoliate skin, clearing out any dirt or oil residing in your pores. Simply cut a lemon in half and rub it over the affected area. Let it stand for five minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water.
Sugar Scrub

Using scrubs on a regular basis is always a must, but sometimes scrubs can be a little bit harsh on sensitive skin so another great option is sugar. A simple recipe is to take two tablespoons of sugar, mixed with a half a lemon (juice) and a little bit of water. Crush it all together until you get a thick paste and gently massage it into your skin, then wash it off.
