Try this: wet a washcloth with the hottest tap water you can stand. Wring it out and put it on your nose. The hot water will open the pores to clean them up. Gently wash your nose then with whatever soap you prefer. When you are finished, use cold water to close the pores. Dabbing your nose with rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball will help too. Don't overdue it though. If you clean your nose like that every day you'll see a difference.

Blackheads can happen to anyone, no matter what your skin type. Blackheads are caused by oil in your skin that gets caught and expands in the pores. Oxidizing from exposure to the air, the oil actually turns black.
what works for some people might not work for everyone but here are some things that you can consider.~
First, stop the problem before it starts. Use noncomedogenic, oil-free, water-based skin-care products. (Noncomedogenic means the products were laboratory tested and approved by the FDA not to clog pores and cause blackheads.)
If you change your skin-care routine and still get blackheads, speak to a dermatologist about getting a prescription for Retin-A, which is a strong exfoliant that opens pores, sloughs off dead skin and cleans out blackheads.
If all else fails, a dermatologic facial performed at a dermatologist's office involves a prescription-strength acid that gets rid of dead layers of skin and the use of surgical instruments to extract the blackheads.
Blackheads are a problem that should be treated by a dermatologist. But, if you want to try an over-the-counter product, a lot of people rave about Biore Pore Perfect Strips, which are supposed to lift out blackheads on your nose, forehead and chin.
Hope this helps~

I dont think there's a "Miracle Cure" for this little enemies, but a very good cleaning routine must help you control considerably this the problem. Try a purifying mask twice (or more) a week and you will see the difference almost instantly (It worked for me!)
