Answer 1

Easy, cheap & Effective:

Try a mask to bring existing blackheads out, then Listerine to clean your face.
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 of pimples unable to form. I have always had a clear, light complexion, my teachers even commented on this throughout high school. I very seldom use a foundation on my skin. Foundations always seemed to clog my pores where they couldn't breath, though there are new oil free on the market now. I still clean my makeup off with Listerine, though now I use a moisturizer after my face drys and a bronzer for added color. My makeup isn't caked on as some foundation cause.

As for a breakout, clean with the Listerine, if really red, 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 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. Your skin can breath easier. do this until the breakouts stop.

Answer 3

Use a face scrub a few times a week. Also use in conjuction with specialized care products such as biore pore strips for the nose (works wonders) or a face mask like an acne sulfur mask (amazing as well - oil, blackheads, blemishes gone).

Answer 4

I love the pimple eraser stick (Walgreen's) it's glycolic acid, and it really does work fast. It also promotes cell turn over which does help improve the appearance of lines and rougher surfaces. I pair that with alpha hydrox cream and I rarely breakout and the blackheads are completely gone (it took a few months for those to go away completely, but they were less noticeable right away)

Answer 5

Toothpaste works, but it doesn't have as much benzolyle peroxide as any cream you could buy. Try using the biore nose strip things or an astringent.

Answer 6

slowly and gently rub the tip of a bobby pin over each blackhead, after you've cleaned your face and steamed. it's disgusting, but it works really well. **warning: youll be red for a little so do it before you sleep** if your scared of popping, use pore strips such as biore.

Answer 7

I like Queen Hellene face masks. They are not very expensive. Mint is my favorite.

Might try an egg white paste or an oatmeal paste but I would go with the QH mask.

Answer 8

mint face masks, those some can be kinda pricey if your store doesn't have good selection. a cheaper alternative is toothpaste. just put it on then wait for it to dry and wash off, you can also leave it on overnight...it really does work.

my best friend uses zap zyt. it works.

Answer 9

to get rid of black heads, just use a very course face scrub every morning and night. the roughness may hurt but it scratches away pimple

Answer 10

witch hazel works well..u can get it at the grocery store in the same general area as the rubbing alcohal
