blackheads help ???

Question

i have got blackheads i have tryed clean and clear blackhead toner and it dont work some one help plz !!!!!!!

Answer 1

I have the same problem. I also tried the cleanser you mention, expecting that it would actually do something but it had zero effect. I accidentally came across something that seems to keep them less obtrusive: tea tree oil facial wipes. I dont know how it works but my blackheads are much improved. The other thing I did was get a facial done that was aimed at removing them. The beautician smeared on some lotion stuff, and then used steam treatment to open the pores, and then squeezed them out....it hurt like hell but it did the trick for a few months.

A blackhead is a plug of dry, dehydrated sebum (your skin's natural lubricant) that gets "stuck in your pores on the way out of your skin due to several reasons:

1. Lack of water in your system
2. Excess dead cells blocking the opening to the pore
3. Excess Oil being Produced by you
4. Improper cleansing routine, oil not being removed
5. Products / makeup you are using (or not using)!.

Believe it or not, gently squeezing blackheads is an effective method of removal. Before you squeeze, you’ve got to loosen the blackheads to make removal easier. Heat is a good way to loosen up the blackhead. Either steam the face, or hold a warm compress against the blackheads. If using a compress, first prepare a mixture of warm water, iodine and Epsom salt and then use the mixture to moisten the compress. Once the blackheads are loosened, press the compress gently against the loosened blackheads until the pus pulls free.

If using fingers, wrap them in tissue or gauze and then squeeze. If you’d rather, you can use a blackhead remover. This is a specially-designed tool with a different-sized opening at each end. Place one of the open ends atop the blackhead and push lightly. The pus should come right out.

However, an even better way to deal with blackheads is to keep them from developing in the first place. Wash acne-prone areas twice daily using soap and warm water. Use a product containing benzyl peroxide if your skin can handle it. In addition to washing blackhead-prone areas, also use a mud mask to deep clean your pores.

Exfoliating your skin is also an effective way of keeping blackheads under control. This removes the dead skin cells so they can’t clog the pores. Exfoliate several times a week, if your skin can tolerate this. And finally, keep hands and hair away from areas prone to blackheads. The dirt will only make matters worse.

Agree with Emmylou. Dermalogica is fantastic. I started having spots at the age of 30---yes 30, after never having had teenage spots. I couldn't find anything that helped and then I read about one of the soap stars using Dermalogica. I have never looked back. I also treat myself once a month to a facial and the beautician uses all their range. I love the Special Cleasing Gel and Active Moist moisturiser. You could try their facial scrub aswell and also try a steam treatment to open up your pores and try and gently squeeze the little blighters out. Half fill a bowl with HOT water and put your head over it under a towel. Stay there for about 10 minutes to open your pores and then have a gentle squeeze. Not too hard or you will scar. Some of them will come out easily but you might have to invest in something like Dermalogica for the stubborn ones. Try www.youbeauty.net for cheaper prices than shopping on the high street. Good luck!

I use biore nose/face strips every week. You can see the blackheads it pulls out... kinda gross but it works. I also like proactiv... it works great! I would also suggest finding a scrub and mask that you like... i personally use biore but that's up to you. Before using the strips or whatever product you choose, put a hot washcloth over your face, the steam will open up your pores. Then use the strips or other products to clean out your pores. Then use an ice cube or cold washcloth on your face to close your pores up temporarily. It takes time but a consistent schedule will be your best bet in the long run. I used proactiv for about 2 weeks straight (morning and night) before my face actually got completely clear and stayed that way! Good Luck! :)

Answer 5

Despite what everyone says, actually squeezing them is the fastest and effective way of getting them out. Yeah, do steam do open your pores, then have a go at popping the lil suckers out. The thing is, its actually your nails, cutting into your skin that cause nearly all the damage. Using a special tool, or squeezing the skin around the area with your fingertips, will eventually break the pressure. you should be left with little hard nucleas of dirt, with some stringy white stuff, just grab that between your fingernails and pull, just pull all the dirt out. Less than a day later, should be no redness, or swelling, if youve done it right.

Answer 6

Buy a blackhead remover from the Body Shop to squeeze them out.

Answer 7

Use something with an active ingredient Benzyol Peroxide. Proactive's products have it in there's. I recommend Clinique's Emergency Gel it has 5% and Proactive has only 2.5% as you build your strength up you can use Glytone's 10% (which is the strongest) I use Clinique's 3-Step twice a day and put my Emergency Gel just on my nose and I am Blackhead Free.

Answer 8

Use blackhead and pore clearing strips. They will pull all the little sods out and are easy to use. I recommend the brand t-zone. Good luck x

Answer 9

Try those blackhead strips by Ponds. You put them on and they actually pull the blackheads out.

Answer 10

i have them to use a blackhead removal strip once a week or put spot cream on the effected area for a few days that might work
