Answer 1

Girl, this has been a miracle worker for me, I did it right before my wedding and I think God I did--

Soak up a cotton ball with hydrogen peroxide and hold on your blemish for about 10 sec. Then get a washcloth, wet it with warm water, and hold on the blemish for about a minute. Then get a piece of ice(I put it in a zip lock baggy) and hold on the blemish for a minute more. Go back to the beginning and repeat the 3 steps several times, and just before you go to bed, finish with the 1st step.

This basically drys up the pimple(peroxide), reduces swelling(warmth from the wash cloth) and closes the pour to new bacteria while again reducing redness and swelling(ice).

In the morning, follow up by doing the ice, but don't hold it on too long or your skin could get red. Dab on some concealer and you will be looking flawless:)

Before you go and spend big money, just give this a try.
I am now 47 and since childhood I have always cleaned my face with Listerine and cotton balls, especially over and around the nose and forehead area. You would not believe the dirt that comes off. With it being antiseptic you have an additional benefit. I have always had a clear but light complexion, my teachers even commented on this throughout high school. Though now I use a moisturizer after my face drys and bronzer for added color. As for a breakout, clean with the Listerine, if really red, clean with proxide and then hold an ice cube on it and before bedtime, put white toothpaste a dab will do. You don't have to rub it in, but make sure it's covered. by morning most of the red should be gone. Try to keep your fingers off your face. Always use cotton balls, q-tips, something sanitary
The Listerine should start drying alot of it over night.
My youngest - 18 wanted me to get pro-active, I ask her before I did just to try for a week using the Listerine. Mom was right, two days later, her breakout was gone. She has been blemish free for about 3 months now, which for her is a blessing. clean your face about 3 times a day for the first two days. When getting up, after school or work and before bedtime. You'll notice a difference before the week is up. When not necessary, clean all make-up off, like when you come home from school or work. Your skin can breath easier. do this until the breakouts stop.

For blackheads / blemishes you need to see this guide https://tr.im/skincare827 There are many solutions out there but most are just hyped up marketing schemes. There are simple solutions that worked in the past and still work without using chemical based solutions. I'd go as far as saying we use to many chemicals on our skin and body. The trick is to strip them away and perform basic techniques once or twice a week.

To answer your question about blackheads and skin in general. Some people have oily skin and others have dry skin. Its just a matter of doing the right thing for your skin type. A little research will help figure out what each skin type likes and doesnt like. Its not a single solution for everyone.

Well, what I do is squeeze less then half a lemon into a glass (if you have sensitive skin or a low pain tolerance diloute it with some water) and use a cotton ball to dab it onto the blemished area, you can hold the cotton ball on the area, or if you don't want to hold it on just apply a larger amount of lemon juice onto your skin. It may sting a bit at sometimes, but if it gets a bit much then don't be afraid to wash it off early. I normally hold it on for a minimum of 10-15 seconds, and a maximum of about a minute. When you decide to wash it off simply flush your face with warm water and you can follow up up with a cleanser or moisturiser if you like, but I don't (I have quite oily skin). Good Luck! 😄😃😛

Unfortunately for you, while there are ways to get them to dry up, you run the risk of overdoing it and inflaming them more. Any time you go to extreme measures to get rid of them, you run that risk.

The Body shop has a spot treatment using tea tree oil that REALLY works. I mean a couple of hours after you use it, your blemishes will be visibly smaller. Failing that, anything you have that is antibacterial should help some. Witch hazel really helps and most places carry it.

Good luck and don't stress out. It might be stress that's causing them in the first place!

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

I use Mary Kay skin care line and rarely break out anymore. When I get the occasional blemish (only 1 in 3 months now), I use Mary Kay Acne Treatment Gel.
