I heard from a friend that any type of salad dressing works really good to clean out your pores and keep the blackheads away if you cover your face with it for about 15 minutes and ten rinse. Is that a bad idea or a good idea?

No, no, no...bad idea. It's mostly oil and will clog your pores. Salad dressing (or mayonnaise) is very good as a deep moisturizing treatment for damaged hair, however.

Bad idea!!! Too much oil that will clog your pores. If you want moisture, try avocado. The oils in them are good for your skin and will help soften your skin. Also try oatmeal mixed with honey and some water to make a paste. Exfoliates and moisturizes at the same time. Just make certain you aren't allergic to any of these ingredients.

nooo don't do it please! if you're looking for the best home-made mask, try the aspirin mask. yes aspirin! you can get the uncoated ones from drug stores for about $0.99 to $3.99 depending on your preference. then you add a few drops of water onto 4-5 capsules of aspirin and they'll dissolve instantly to a gooey form. then you add 1 - 2 tablespoon of honey into the aspirin and mix them up together. now apply the mixture evenly on your face and wait about 30 - 40 minutes. rinse it with luke warm water. you'll notice the difference when you try it. it works like a charm - blackheads, whiteheads, acne problems, flaky skins, dry skin, oily skin, etc.
the salad dressing is loaded with fatty acids and tons of flavors - vinegar, salt, sugar, etc. they will not only not help to improve your skin, but they will clog your pores like crazy and causing inflammation of your pores = acnes. the vinegar is too harsh for you skin, and the salt contains sodium, which will suck the moist out of your skin, causing dehydration = flaky, bigger pores.

I would say thats a very bad idea. Mainly because salad dressing contains lots of oils.

That helps to alleviate dry skin. A hot wet towel on your face will open up your pores and wash with a pure soap such as ivory or dove that won't dry you skin out. If you have oily skin don't put that dressing on your face. Only if your skin is dry.

i suppose it would depend on the salad dressing, though i would avoid anything that uses eggs. But hey...there are better ways to clean your face. Bad idea.

I have never heard of that but would guess NO. The oils in salad dressing are horrible. I wouldn't do it if I were you....but then again, I'm not you!

BAADDDD!!! If it is oil based, then it will give you so many blackheads and pimples that you will be covered for a lifetime. Stick with the face masks. Trust Me!
