Are blackheads for life?

Question

Are they always going to be there until you die?

Answer 1

Get some fase wash (Nivea face washes are best) and get a scrub (exfoiliating wash , its like face wash but with small bits in it) Nivea again is best. This will reduce and then finally finish and prevent any future blackheads from coming again.

There are strips available for removal of blackheads, but if you use them, the blackheads come bk WORSE then ever.

Also after you wash your face with face wash, apply a mosturizer cream afterwords. This will all help.

Okay now i sound so gay explaining this stuff as a guy to someone lol. oh well

Answer 2

I'm afraid its not guaranteed that they will go away once you are older, this is a myth, I've had them for over elevan years and nothing the doctor has given me has worked, the doctor has now basically given up as she is at a loss as to what to do next, I saw a specialist, but he didn't have any thing to help either, if you find a miracle cure i'd sure like to know what it is. I'm in my mid twenties and it does nothing for my confidence, you may be lucky and they may go of their own accord but don't bet on it, depends also on the severity. You could try seeing a herbalist as a last result, it wouldn't surprise me if something natural based worked. The doctor says it isn't anything to do with my diet, most cases of spots aren't, if your a teen they may go when you get older but don't wait to find out seek advice straight away. Looks like mine are going to stay forever, its very depressing. But everyones is different so you might not be so unfortunate. For evey few blackheads I get rid of a flurry of them reapears and my skin gets very sore, its a losing battle.

Answer 3

You can remove them, but more will return in time.

I've always had a few blackheads, and pimples throughout my life so far, and I'm 42. It does go away quite abit once you're over 25 or so.

Answer 4

Read some very useful tips and articles on how to get rid of blackheads on this site

Answer 5

Blackheads do not go away on their own, according to a dermatologist I talked to a while back. They have to be removed somehow. Picking, strips, etc.

Answer 6

The best way to remove blackheads is after exfoliating your skin. Also, try removing them after a HOT shower. Your skin is more firm and your pores are more open. It works.

Answer 7

There's plenty of Clearasil and Oxy products you can get in your local chemist/Boots. They are about £5 and should last you for at least 6 months.
Follow the instructions and you should be fine within a week.
Btw, drink semi-skimmed milk and eat low fat yogurt to keep your skin in prime condition (but don't overdo it)

Good luck

Answer 8

Nope, Biore makes strips that will yank those suckers right out! They really work, you can see the nasty blackheads stuck on the strip!

Answer 9

Not at all. Best to steam them out! create a mini sauna by putting head over a bowl of hot water with a towell over your head and stay there for as long as you can bear it.

Answer 10

Hi no all balck heads can be removed i use to get them alot but now facial scrubs i dont have any. But if you dont have sensitive skin you could always use a black head removing cleansers. Or you could just pick them out with a pin.
