Best blackhead remedies/tips/tricks???

Question

I've been trying since I was 13 (almost 16 now) to get rid of blackheads, I've tried Murad products, clean and clear blackhead astrigent, neutrogena facial cleansing soap, neutrogena blackhead mask and oxy pads. But nothing is working!
My mom won't let me try proactive so what do you think works that i can get at like a drugstore or walmart?
Or even home remedies?
Theyre only on my nose and she also won't let me try the biore strips either, she said she tried them and they gave her like a nose full of zits.

Answer 1

biore strips are the best

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Answer 4

Get A Facial!!
You need a deep cleansing, steam, clay mask & tea tree oil & extractions by a professional..and it doesn't have to be expensive..check your local area and see if there are esthetic schools..I just graduated Aveda Institute and we give facials for really cheap..


in between home care..
Pick up some Aveda Clay Mask w/ tea tree oil..Take a steamy shower
let it sit on skin for 10-15 minutes then take some soft cotton gauges and gently squeeze & twist the blackhead out..if it doesn't come out then leave it alone..it may not be ready ..you can even do spot treatments with the clay and leave it on overnight..


believe me ever since I learned how to care for skin ..I have yet to suffer any breakouts or skin problems..it's great!

drugstore brands have weak amounts of the ingredient that is suppose to help clear skin..Proactive is way too harsh..
You'll be amazed at what organic & natural remedies could do for your skin..

Answer 5

I use biore nose/face strips every week. You can see the blackheads it pulls out... kinda gross but it works. I also like proactiv... it works great! I would also suggest finding a scrub and mask that you like... i personally use biore but that's up to you. Before using the strips or whatever product you choose, put a hot washcloth over your face, the steam will open up your pores. Then use the strips or other products to clean out your pores. Then use an ice cube or cold washcloth on your face to close your pores up temporarily. It takes time but a consistent schedule will be your best bet in the long run. I used proactiv for about 2 weeks straight (morning and night) before my face actually got completely clear and stayed that way! Good Luck! :)

Answer 6

you should try talking your mom into still getting you biore strips cause they really do work, and if you almost 16 then when you get your licence or something go buy your own. also try st. ives aproicot scrub and rub it on your nose it helps clean out the blackheads. hope this helped good luck.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Try a witch stick i had blackheads and it worked for me.

Answer 10

I'm sorry to hear that your mom wont let you use the pore strips because those definitely work!!! i use the ponds brand and they don't ever make me break out. it so cool when you take the strip off too cause you can actually see all the black heads sticking out of the strip!!!

Answer 11

Try tea tree nose strips. They won't give you zits because they prevent infection and clear up spots really quickly.
