Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong with my skin?

Question

I wash my face evey night. Whenever I have a big whitehead I pop it and it comes out. I leave it alone though if it's not ready. Every once in a while I put peroxide on it, and it bubbles. My face looks fine, but when you look closely my nose it covered with blackheads! I squeeze them, but they come back. Any suggestions on what to do for beautiful skin ?

Answer 1

It sounds like you have oily skin. Use something like Biore strips to remove the blackheads then use a good astringent to close the pores. Some people have good luck with witch hazel. Don't ever squeeze a blackhead or pimple. If you have a whitehead, wait until it gets ready and pierce it with a sterilized needle. Be sure you don't use a straight pin or safety pin. They contain brass and for some reason that's not good. After you pierce the whitehead, pull the skin away from the whitehead instead of squeezing. Squeezing can force the pus back into the pore and you will never have another, probably bigger, problem.

Answer 2

NEVER pop a pimple. Not ever. Causes scars and spreads the bacteria. That's what is in a pimple.....bacteria. Never squeeze blackheads either. Get the Biore pore strips. That will pull out the blackheads. Make sure you wash your face with a cleanser meant for acne-prone skin.

Stop picking your face!

Answer 3

Use an astringent cleaner like SeaBreeze. I have the same problem with my nose and I'm 45. SeaBreeze helps dissolve the blackheads when you scrub with a little of it on a towel.

Answer 4

Same as Bmac - Get the Biore pore strips!
