what is the best way to get rid of blackheads?

Question

my daughter is 14 and she wants to go to a dermatoligist, she has mild acne and blackheads, and its making her crazy,i just bought her proactive for over the summer

Answer 1

This is an old remedy but it really does work! Use egg whites, Crack open an egg and using only the clear portion or (white) of the egg spread a thin layer over the area with black heads. Let it dry completely as it dries you can feel your skin tighten and it will gently remove the black head. Of course make sure to keep it away from eyes, mouth, & broken skin due to the risk of salmonella. If you look most cleansers will tell you to avoid these same areas due to the harshness of the product. So your not missing out. Plus since eggs are so inexpensive if it works well for your daughter you might save a little money too! After just wash your face with a warm cloth and mild cleanser.

Answer 2

Buy Proactiv. If that is too harsh for your daughter's skin, try Mary Kay Velocity line, with the Blemish Control Toner. Have her wash her face twice a day, and start by applying the acne medication once per day, then move to two per day after maybe a week or so. Three per day can be done, but only if the skin can sustain the applications without irritation.

I use Proactiv and people randomly compliment me on my skin tone, without makeup.

Answer 3

Biore Nose Strips will pull the blackheads right out without discomfort. You can get them at Walmart and Walgreens.

Answer 4

wash face at least twice a day. Apply oil control lotion. Use scrub, biore black head strip or deep cleaning mask on target spot periodically.

Answer 5

get involved with this...have her wash her face real good with anti bacteria soap...you get a Qtip,Hydrogen Peroxide...have her lay her head in your lap and pop them and 1 at a time after you pop them makeing sure after the puss comes...blood follows...after each 1...swap it with the peroxide soaked Qtip...do this evry night be4 she goes to bed and when she wakes in the mourning...have her wash her face with bacteria soap...and by ALL means...keep her away from useing all/any makeup...do this for 1 week or longer if it persist...but after 1 week of this treatment and it still persist...she is not bathing regularly or useing makeup...this 1 week treatment should cost under $5.oo

Answer 6

I've had a few on my face for quite a few months now and I have been using the Biore Nose Strips a lot and they just never get them out.

I just ordered something that I'm hoping helps. It has great reviews and its cheep.

The first one is the cheaper one...

The second one is the one that I bought, its a few dollers more then the first one, but still pretty cheep.
