How do you get rid of blackheads?

Question

Hi, I don't really have any pimples right now, but I have loads of blackheads so my face doesn't look clear at all. How can I clear up those blemishes and upkeep my skin?

Answer 1

You can use Biore strips, that are made for removing blackheads. The same result can be achieved with any good sticky tape, however.

Then wash with a gentle cleanser (like Neutrogena) and an exfoliating cloth. Using an exfoliating cloth takes off the top dead layers of skin, and the dirt that is sticking to it.

Then close your pores afterwards with a good toner. My favorite is Noxzema 3 in 1 pads, but Biore or Neutrogena make good toners as well.

If you use any moisturizers on your skin, make sure it is non-oily and specially formulated for use on the face. Don't use any that have mineral oil as an ingredient--this only dries your skin.

Answer 2

You need to use an exfoliate to cleanse your skin...the tape works sometimes but not all the time....Squeezing is a bad idea...it might get some out but you can damage the surrounding skin...


The best thing to do is to wash the area in question with warm water and and soap, this opens the porse up and loows them to get clean...then use rubbing alcohol to close the pores up...which also kills the bacteria at the pore.

Answer 3

You need to squeeze the black heads out and then wash your face a couple times a day with a salacilyc acid facial wash. I like phisoderm. It works.
