Black heads
Blackheads are pores that become clogged due to excess oils. Blackheads are not dirt and cannot be washed away.

Cleanse the face thoroughly with a good cleanser. Apply an astringent. It helps reduce oiliness.
Exfoliate the blackhead area twice a week using facial scrubs like oatmeal and apricot.
A facial steam twice a week is helpful for to loosen black heads, soften the skin and clean out pores.
After steaming use blackhead extractor/comedone extractor (This is a small instrument with a hole at one end) and gently press this around the blackhead helps it to pop out through the hole.
