Actually, I don't even know if they are blackheads, but they are all over my nose. I think they may be enlarged pores. If you think you know what it might be, can you advice me on how to get rid of them?

I am a makeup artist.
The best thing is not to overwash your face.
Try to use a mask 1 once a week.
Also you can use a face wash at least 5-7 a week.
Well the main thing since is to keep the face fresh and clean. Wash daily with a face cleaner, and keep moisturize.
How to Remove Blackheads
No matter how we scrub and wash our face, black heads just seem to appear all over our nose? Here's some good ways to keep your skin clear and avoid blackheads.
Steps
Try not to touch your face...it's a hard habit to break but dirt, oil, and germs will get into your face and block your pores.
A common myth is that if you have oily skin, you should not moisturise it. This is wrong. If you have oily skin, you need to moisturize it, because if you do not, your skin will produce more oil to compensate. Try a good oil-free moisturizer, or Enzymion (from Lush). This is fast-acting and the fruit enzymes in it break down oil on the skin's surface- no more shiny noses!
Biore and Clean & Clear are good products. Try Clean & Clear Black head scrub and Biore nose strips.
When you use a nose strip wet your nose with a clean face cloth and then dry your hands.
After that open the packet that the nose strip is in, and rip the little tabs for a better fit on your nose.
Put the sticky side on your nose and wait for around 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes (I suggest that timing) the nose strip should be hard paper mache. Remove it.
Tips
Only use the strips once a week.I suggest 10-minute timing because if you keep it on for too long the sticky stuff sticks to your nose and your blackheads don't come off with it.
Do not pick at them or probe with needles, this only invites irritation and infection. Only touch blackheads with clean hands, if at all.
Hope that helps.

I am in the same shoes as you are. I've been trying to get rid of them for awhile. If you cant afford a facial by an esthetician try using biore nose strips or clean & clear for blackhead. Look for any products that target blackheads. But the most important thing is no matter how much you clean your face, it wont get clean unless you do extractions. Extractions extract the dirt and oil build up in your pores which cause blackheads. By removing the build up you give your skin a chance to get truely clean. Also remember to tone your skin. Toning helps close enlarged pores. If you can extract, tone, and cleanse you will be on your way to a clean, fresh, blackhead free face.

I have the same problem and since of late it had been itchy, I used to do this and now started doing this after a long time, and it works great for me. Hope this helps you.
I, Use a little metal thing, about 2 inches, I think its called a blackhead remover with lil holes on either ends.I got mine from Walmart, I think.
In the shower, warm up your face, and slide them over the nose, like tryiing to squeeze them out, not too hard though. And use astrigent over your face, after you are done. It helps. I use a Mary kay product.
Always test though with what ever you decide.
Hope this was helpful.

DON'T TRY TO PICK THEM! It just makes them worst! Find a face wash that is specifically designed for blackheads. I personally like Neutrogena Blackhead Clearing Scrub.

Almond scrub works well. Also clay masks. Another thing you can do is fill a large pot with water and after it comes to a boil, turn it off and put a towel over your head, get your face close to the steam and it will open your pores. Then put a clay mask on your face while your pores are open. Do this once a week to keep your face clean.

Don't get those Biore strips - they don't work.
Sometimes I just spend a while squeezing them out. I had a girlfriend once that loved to do it for me. She was kinda weird.
