Firstly you need to know that problem skin, including blackheads has nothing at all to do with hygiene. The cleanest person in the world could have terrible acne.
Blackheads occur when the thin layer of oil on the surface of the skin fills pores, becomes exposed to the air and oxidizes. You need to start regular exfoliation to get try and avoid the pores getting clogged with oil in the first place. Try a gentle scrub and work in small circular motions. Also you should do a weekly mask to draw out any impurities. The skincare brand Witch is ideal; try the Exfoliating Face Mask, $12.95 and the Brand New You Face Masque, $12.95
Also available in the range is Witch Clear Pore Strips, $12.95, so give those a try too
Blackheads are a total pain and can be tricky to conceal. I suggest trying an oil-free tinted moisturiser as this is a great alternative to foundation and won’t clog pores like some foundations can. To actually try and minimise the appearance of blackheads and help clear out those pore blockages, the best way is through a gentle exfoliating action. I would recommend Clean & Clear® Blackhead Clearing Cleanser and Blackhead Clearing Toner. The Cleanser has a unique blend of gentle beads that gently exfoliate the skins surface, breaking down blackheads. Next, a special cleansing ingredient is deposited in the skin, working deep down to clear pores to help fight

You're not going to get rid of them completely as these are natural things that you have to live with and no body really notices them but these steps may help:
1. Don't wear a lot of make-up, this just builds up the grease/dirt and makes them bigger.
2. Exfoliate at least once a week - this will deeply cleanse your pores and lift some blackheads. And also, cleanse twice a day even if you haven't worn make-up - the grease/dirt builds up throughout the day and night.
3. You could try some nose pore strips but they only lift off the very small ones that you hardly notice anyway.
4. Gently squeeze them out: this is my method which I've found really works: Get a flannel and make it as hot (with water) as you can stand and press it onto your nose until it cools (that's about 1-2 mins) and then grab two tissues and inbetween your fingers [behind the tissues] GENTLY squeeze them out. But if they won't come, don't get vigorous as this breaks the skin and leaves your nose/cheeks red for days. Just put another wet flannel on and try again. I've found this method really useful, even for large[r] ones.
5. You could go for a facial at your local salon, they have a miracle way of taking blackheads out with ease and it makes you really relaxed too. I find it nice to go after school/work and just calms you down. If you're a person like me who doesn't DO creams then don't worry, just tell them that and they use ones you can hardly feel...
Good luck but don't worry - I bet no one notices them!

Try using a clay mask. There is no magic treatment for skin problems, but using a mask pulls out the dirt that is deep within the skin. A toner would be helpful as well.

Mary Kay makes a facial that is out of this world- I think it's number 2, it's green and has walnut shells a a pumice--so you can use it as a scrub or a weekly facial.

the biore pore strips can really get in there and clean up your skin. you'd have to use them probably twice a week in order for them to completely go away. but they do work, plus its so refreshing to see all the stuff that was in your skin come out and be able to throw it away!!
