what can you do about ugly persistent blackheads on nose?

Question

I have these gross huge blackheads on the sides of my nose. Those blackhead strips only work for that day, the next day, they are back.
I have a daily scrub, and "pore minimizer", but that only works for 1/2 hr,then they are back again. Can you have them lasered or botoxed or something? Has anyway solved this problem??? I hate them.

Answer 1

I squeeze them .

Answer 2

I don't find the Biore nose strips useful in the long run.

Just try to keep your face as clean as possible. This involves adapting a healthy diet full of green veggies, drinking lots of water, and investing in make up that will not clog your pores or cause facial oil.

We all hate blackheads, it sounds like you're a little obsessed if you're considering botox (which, btw, I don't think can be used to treat them). Try not to worry about them too much - nobody's going to stare at your nose closely anyway.

Answer 3

You can try the Biore strips, they'll open up your pores or you can use the Noxema Blackhead Cleanser.

Answer 4

Have you thought of trying a facial at a salon or asking advice at a good Beauty store with Consultants. They may have some products suitable apart from all the rest of the advice given on here.

Answer 7

Proper Daily/Weekly skincare & healthy habits, steaming, and extractions should minimize the problem, but this will take time....

~DAILY/WEEKLY SKINCARE~
-You will need: Cleanser, Toner (or Astringent), Cotton Balls, Moisturizer, Mask (or Masque), Extractor (found at most beauty supply stores), and either a facial steamer or hand towel for steaming.

-Morning and night (before going to bed): cleanse, tone, and moisturize. If you have clogged pores, whiteheads and blackheads, then 2-3 times a week include steaming (in this order: cleanse, tone, steam, tone, moisturize).

-Once a week: cleanse, tone, steam, exfoliate, tone, *extractions, tone, mask, tone, moisturize. *IF NEEDED, Don't begin doing extractions until you have been following all of the other steps for at least 2 weeks, so that the steaming will have caused any tough blemishes to begin to soften.

-How to: *
Cleanse -use a small amount and lather with water, apply using circular motions all over face and neck, repeat if you have makeup on
Tone - Squeeze a small amount onto the cottonball and wipe all over face and neck
Steam - for 10-15 minutes, using one of these methods: facial steamer, hold your face 3-5 inches above steaming water, or drape a hot towel over your face (leaving your nostrils and/or mouth exposed)
Exfoliate - follow the same steps as in cleansing, but don't repeat
Extractions - place the hoop (or eye) over the blemish (or blackhead) so that the blemish is in the center of the hoop, apply slight pressure and use rocking and rolling movements all around the blemish (don't use so much pressure that you create indentions or bruises on your skin), if and when the blockage comes out of the pore, wipe away with a cottonball that has been dampened with toner
Mask - apply mask evenly on face and neck, leave for 10-15 minutes, remove by draping a hot towel over your face, then wiping away - if it begins to sting or burn intensly before 10-15 minutes has passed remove and consider using a milder mask
Moisturize - apply a small amount on face an neck and massage until it's absorbed
*In all of these steps, always avoid the eye area.
