You can easily use natural remedies to help with the blackhead removal and the healing of the scarring gotten from the blackhead but in order to keep it off you'll need to follow the guidelines I'll give.
Forgive any inaccuracies in advance.
Black heads are basically sebum/oil in your face that has been exposed to air and dead skin cells on your face which causes your facial pores to get clogged so all you have to do is unclog your pores and try to maintain it that way.
The steps in the routine are:
1. Cleansing. You need to clean your face regularly... That is morning and night... Because of all the sweat, dirt and possibly makeup that's gotten on faces during the day. You can use a regular soap but I prefer black soap.. Not dudu osun.
You can also use honey and two drops of lemon oil or the juice of half a lemon, mix and apply. Wash it off after 5-15 minutes. Honey will help unclog your pores and the lemon juice or oil will dry up the black heads and reduce scarring... It will also help brighten (not lighten)[/b]your face. You can alternate nights for soap and mornings for honey
2. Exfoliate. This is a very important part as this is the one that helps with opening your pores and unclogging it. You can use a homemade sugar scrub
[b]If you need a good recipe, just let me know
Or you could decide to buy a scrub but be wary of the ones with harmful ingredients that might irritate your skin. This should be done weekly
3. Moisturize. While your face is still wet, apply a moisturizer on it to seal in the water allowing your face to be supple and hydrated... I would advice using coconut oil (very sparingly though) or almond oil because they help with retaining moisture and reduction of discoloration and scarring. This should be done daily

4. Facial Masking. Because the steps above open your pores up, it will be advisable to use a facial mask that will tighten the pores because if your pores are constantly open, you'll be more prone to blackheads(acne). You can buy a generic mask or make your own clay mask. If you would like a recipe let me know. You can do this once a week or once in two weeks

With these basic steps, your face should be clear in a month but you'll start seeing the difference within a week or 10 days.

Finally, I know this post is pretty long but in the long term, you'll need to consistent with the above steps. Also, you'll need to watch what the amount of sugars you consume because they cause insulin levels in your body to increase which in turn causes rapid skin cell growth and that can cause the blackheads to return.
Hope this helps
