Right, so I know blackheads cause pimples. What are they exactly though? How do you get them? How can can you tell if you have them? How do you remove them/prevent them? And what's the best product to treat them? Thanks for your help -Marielle

They have blackhead cream/face wash. I've seen a few of them in the beauty aisles. I used to use Neutrogena but recently I switched to Aveeno facewash. Not sure Aveeno has one for blackheads though.

What they are: little black dots usually on your nose. They're deeper in the skin and hard to get rid of.
How do you get them: they usually come when your skin gets oily. (also i heard that if you eat greasy foods, that causes it too)
How to tell if you have them: You see noticible black dots on your nose, and the way side of your nose where is hard to see.
What to use: Biore makes great products especially for blackheads. I use the blackhead strips (about $6 for a pack of 14) to remove them, and i use anti-blackhead warming scrub to help prevent and to get rid of them (about $6 a bottle)
Biore is the best brand i've tried.
One thing to NEVER do with blackheads is dont ever try to pick them out with a little pokey object like a toothpick or something. And definitely dont squeze them. That just makes your pores bigger and will make them grow bigger too.
Hope this helps :)

They are clogged pores. You can see them as tiny black dots on your skin, especially in "oily" areas like the nose. Do not squeeze them because you could make them turn into a pimple. Use the little adhesive (Biore) strips you can buy in the drug store. They work to pull out the blackheads safely.
