Oh my gosh, NOTHING WORKS!?

Question

People, I have a serious blackhead issue! I use different face washes but non of them work. I try home made stuff. And I really dont want to squeeze them. Please, I need something affordable (Even homemade) and that will work! PLEASE! I need self-esteem! ;[

Answer 1

Biore strips...(I use'em and I'm 52...they work and aren't expensive) Also Buff Puffs (facial)..Basis soap, Aveeno wash...
something mild to wash with..stay away from acid based products. (they peel your skin and may cause more damage than good..) If you can get one of those rotating brushes for your face, those are good too.. (in a pinch..get a cheap spinning tooth brush to use on your face...the spinning will clean out the pores better..)

Answer 2

I started having this problem about 6 months ago for the first ime in my life at the age of 25. Blackheads all over my face, it was so gross! I was popping them and it was leaving nasty scabs and tearin my face up. I recently bought this stuff on a whim looking for something that worked and within 2 days i started noticing a difference its so great. It's called Clean & Clear Persa Gel 10 it's 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Medication. Also once or twice a week use the Apricot scrub by St. Ives to exfoliate and remove build up. But make sure to use the Clean & Clear morning and night it works, promise!

Hello,

once a week, steam your face (boil a pot of water and when its boiling, take it off the stove and hover your face above the water and cover your head with a towel. The steam opens your pores and the blackheads will, fall out..is the best was to put it.) Do this for about 15 minutes. Rinse your face with COLD water to close the pores. I know that theres going to be some stubborn blackheads, so apply a Biore porestrip then pull it off when it has dried. Then use an exfoliating scrub like Biore Pore Unclogging exfoliating scrub. Apply astringent then moisturizer.

Sounds like alot but it works

Answer 4

Go to Walmart and buy Biore Pore Strips. You just wet the area the blackheads are on and stick the strip on. Leave it on for a few minutes and then peel it off and it will take out a lot of blackheads. I was so surprised to see how many of them it pulled out, it was gross! So, I would recommend those. Also, if those don't work, you should try getting a facial. I heard that that is the best thing to do.

Perhaps u havent been using the correct products for ur face?Best u look for a reputable beautician wer u r, make an appointment to do a facial.Usually facials last bout 1hr or more it depends.They wud remove all ur blackheads/whiteheads..etc for u plus ure skin wud be lookin much better.Quick fixes cant last u that long best u find out wots the root of ur probs n fix it there.I go to my beautician every mth to ensure that my skin is using all the right products to prevent it.And the benefits of doin the facial once a mth is they make sure that ur skin is unclogged , clean & moisturized & fix ur problem spots. Perhaps if u really wanna squeeze em out, Place a bowl ( wid hot water ) n place ur face over it, dont forget a towel to on d back of ur head to keep the vapor in,that shud help open ur pores a lil.After that , perhaps u can squeeze em out wid the proper tool..n juz do ur routine facial regime,or use a mask.Good Luck!

Try the Biore pore strips for your nose, they worked wonders for me and friends of mine. When you peel them off it hurts a little because all your blackheads come up with the strip. Then dab some tea tree oil on your skin and rinse with cool water to close your pores.

And before you use the strips cleanse your entire face with a cleaser with benzol peroxide in it, and use a toner.

This has worked for me. Hope it works for you!

Answer 7

Use Apricot scrub to totally cleanse your face.

Honey remedy for skin blemishes.

Cover the blemish area with honey (dab on) then cover with a band-aid. Do this at night. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin sterile, and speeds healing.

In the morning clean your face well with apricot scrub.

Try not to wear heavy base make up for awhile.

Answer 8

Girly girl.

I'm sure that you realize that picked them is the worst thing you can do!

Something I have found VERY useful for blackheads is MD Skincare's "Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel" but it is VERY expensive- about $125.00 for a month supply. The other thing you can do, and I have, is to order a light glycolic peel from an online store. They usually start at 30%, which is what I've tried, and this is much less expensive (about $45.00) for way more than a one-year supply, depending on how often you use it. (at most, once a week) This has worked WONDERFULLY & also importantly, less expensively, plus it's great for skin discolorations & uneven skin.

Hope that helps.
