I have never had a black head in my life & rarely a blemish... but this little boogers are not coming out! I tried squeezing them after applying a warm compress, but to no avail... I tried Salicyc acid washes, Clearicil, etc... even those acne scrubs, but nothing has helped at all. Any advice???? Seems like since I had kids my skin is so different! Thanks!

Consider yourself lucky to have only 3 and not 503 like I do!!!:)
First try this: Boil some water first and place your face over the bowl and cover your head with a towel to make sure the steam is in you face. This will open up your pores. Keep you head covered for a minimum of 5 minutes. Then try squeezing always by wrapping a thin tissue of paper (I use toilet paper) around your fingers. It helps avoid nail marks and scars!
If that doesn't work try this:..it might seem extreme but it's what my beautician used to do. You get a needle and disinfect it with alcohol, you then gently poke the black head so as to loosen the opening and voila! When you squeeze it should come out.
Good luck and don't forget to disinfect after you're done!

Try using a peel-off mask that you leave on til it dries and then pull it off, it should take the black heads out with the mask, then wash with warm water and apply and astringent, I use Witch Hazel. Yes, honey, after having kids your body chemisty changes.
A good mask to try is made of cucumbers, any brand.

How about this...
Pour hot water into a sink or bowl and put your face close to the steaming water with a blanket over your head. Make sure to breathe. After this, your pores should be more open allowing you to get better access to your black heads.

sqeeze a few drops of lemon juice on your hand and spread it on the affecte area on your face. it will burn a little but that means that it is working. good luck getting rid of those buggers
