help with blackheads!!?

Question

i have all these little blackheads on my nose and it really bothers me. i've been trying to get rid of them! I've been using Clean & Clear blackhead clearing scrub but it doesn't seem like it did any good at all. i just bought the stridex pads, and i'm hoping this will work. i can't seem to find the strips anywhere. anyone else know what to use to get rid of them?

Answer 1

ok, the boire is a great product. buy you'll have to go out and get dat. so wat left is picking and popping them now. well try the steam therapy and squeeze. make sure you don't have severe acne though. after the skin is moist and wet apply some dry sugar and scrub until sugar gets sticky. you could add cornmeal for really rough skin. keep drink water and a blood cleanser would give you a boost!!

Blackheads, simply put, suck. All they are is a bunch of dead skin cells with dirt and oil clogging your pores. Even with an exfoliating scrub, it's not going to help get rid of them, but it will help in preventing more from forming.

You have a few options, the first and best being to visit your dermatologist. With a small tool, he or she will apply pressure to the area around the blackhead, forcing it out of the pore. They look gross: like little white and sometimes black-tipped worms. Afterwards, they will recommend a maintenance routine to keep your skin blackhead-free and healthy.

If you can't afford to see a dermatologist, you CAN get these tools online or at some stores. I bought mine from Sephora. Mine has 2 sides, a "pimple popper" which is a curved and rounded wire used to slide around a pimple to force the puss out and speed up healing, the other side is a flattened loop which you press around the blackheads you are trying to remove, forcing the impurities out. As I said though, it's really really nasty.

Last but not least, many skincare brands now haves those blackhead removal strips that you get wet, apply to your nose, let them dry, then rip them off. However, these do not get the entire blackhead out and they irritate the skin greatly.

Hope this helps!

Put a pot of water to boil. Once it has boiled a few minutes turn it off. Stand over the steaming water with a towel to cover your head and keep in as much steam as possible. It's kinda uncomfortable, but you have to steam your face for atleat 5 minutes. This opens up your pores, once they are open you can do a facial. Squeeze your nose and you will see all the blackheads come out. The longer you steam, the easier they will come out. There is also a tool you can buy to get rid of blackheads. Once you finish apply cold water to your face to help close the pores. You can them apply face moisturisor or something to help. Keep medicating your face and drink lots of water! It worked for me, I did this a couple times before my wedding and by the time it came around my face looked great.

Answer 4

Microdermabrasion will get rid of them and prevent them from coming back,with repeated use. You can have it done at a spa or dermatologist but most recommend a minimum of 6 treatments at about $100 dollars each or buy over the counter kits for about $25 Try oil of olay or neutragena.

Answer 5

Agree with kris_swc. Biore Pore Perfect strips are awesome...and you can see all the junk on the strip when you're done! Amazing how much gunk is in your pores until you use one of them...

Answer 6

Biore pore perfect strips-Takes the right out

Answer 7

you need to get an exfoliating scrub (mild exfoliaters WILL NOT WORK), and if you use a moisturizer, make sure it says on the bottle or jar that it wont clog bores. they wont go away immediately, but give it a week.

Answer 8
