Avoid using creamy, greasy, and thick (emollient) products. This alone will greatly lessen your chances of sprouting blackheads.
Use a gentle and water-soluble cleanser.
DO NOT use bar soap!!! The ingredients that hold soap in a bar form can clog the pores in your skin. They can also cause skin cells to flake off prematurely and clog the pores. If you have dry skin you will need to use a cleanser that has a bit of moisturizer in it, but be careful! The excess moisturizers can cause an increase in oil on your skin.
Exfoliate to eliminate dead skin cells. If there are no skin cells to clog the pores, the natural oil is able to flow through freely. Exfoliation also removes the built up dead cells from inside the pores that cause them to become misshapen and more-easily clogged. Using an exfoliant that contains 1% or 2% beta hydroxy acids (BHA or Salicylic Acid) will penetrate the lining of the pore. If you are unable to use BHAs, you could use products containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), however these acids are only good for surface exfoliation because they do not penetrate the pore lining.
Absorb excess oil. If you have oily skin, try using a clay mask that does not contain mint, peppermint or other irritating ingredients.

You could try using face and nose strips to get blackheads out. They work pretty well as long as you follow the directions. Biore makes good nose and face strips. Don't try squeezing the blackheads out though. That just causes the bacteria to go deeper into the pore.

steam your face with a sauna if you can get one or stay in the whirlpool bath and splash hot water on them a lot
any hot water kept on these ugly things will cause them to come out and use a soap like ivory and sea breeze astringent..clearasil is good or nutragena..pls forgive the spelling as my spell check sucks..but don't pick at these too much..it only makes them cause a scar tissue and you look all red in the face and infected too
