Question

I do wash my face everyday.....

i dont have any feckles...in fact i'm chinese....

Answer 1

Blackheads, or open comedones, can be removed, no matter how long they've been there. They are formed when pores are built up with dirt, oil, and dead skin. Your skin shed's dead cells every 28 days, so if you're not exfoliating away that dead skin, it builds on top of the pore. Get a professional "Deep Pore" facial and have your aesthetician really work on extracting them out. And the sooner you get this done, the better. Once pores are stretched from build-up, they stay that way. There's no way to shrink pores, only ways to minimize the appearance. And at home extractions aren't a good idea. You might inflame, or even worse, scar your skin. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Use the steamer then put a baking soda water mixture around your lips. This is how I get rid of mine. It isn't an instant thing but if you do this once a week you will see improvements within the month. Mine get lighter the day after and just keep getting smaller and lighter each time I do this until they are gone. All you do is mix baking soda and tap water until it forms a gritty paste. You don't want it too liquidy or too powdery. I usually just put the baking soda in my hand and a few drops of water until I get the right consistency. Then put it on the black head area and wait like 10 min. It will sting a bit but I have sensitive skin and it doesn't bother me except a little redness right afterward. If you use lip gloss try and get some that doesn't have petroleum jelly in it. Burts bees has some colored ones that don't have that product in it which won't clog your pores around your mouth as much and is easier to get out of them.

Answer 3

I would definitely see a dermatologist. They will also be able to access what type of skin you have and the best product for you. I know my cousin has one of those suction things that are for blackheads - she says it works really well. I haven't tried it, yet. The only thing she didn't like was it made her breakout at first. It pulled all the junk and dirt out of her pores and to the surface but once it cleared up she doesn't have to worry cause she knows everything is clear. She bought hers thru Avon. Your doctor can do the same thing at the office and alot more effectively. Good luck!

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

Answer 5

see an aesethetican or dermatologist. It is worth the advice of someone who specializes in skin care. Other than that your local pharmacies has products targeted for specific problems like blackheads. salicylic acid comes to mind. or a home dermabrasion kit. but it might take more than one treatment. Be cautious dont over do it.
