Please help!
I hate the way I look in the mirror with these (and the spots..)
And all my friends hardly get any! maybe one or two... but I get LOADS!

Answer 1

Steam regularly. Don't poke or extract your blackheads harshly like there is no tomorrow. i do believe that we have the same, oily to combination skin type, especially around our T-Zone. It is interesting for people to think that avoiding creams can help solve oily skin. But its wrong. You just have to find the right-based cream. Cream and Water-based works best for skin like ours. Veer away from oil based creams during day time, you can use them during the night.

You can best help your skin if you do the 3-step facial regimen: wash, tone and moisturize. Washing helps remove dust that accumulated on the surface of the skin, toning provides additional cleaning as well as it preps the skin by removing dead skin cells that can just block healthy cells' absorption of the third step, the moisturizer.

The key is to be able to find the right product to help you with your problem. I can suggest the brand: Mario Badescu. They have a line of products that really is good for our type of skin, I personally recommend the Enzyme Cleansing Wash, Cucumber Toner and the best HONEY MOISTURIZER. If you use these products, they don't have the same ''stretched-dry-skin" that other products leave. This is often the misconception of people, that dryness and no oil means clean skin. What Mario Badescu does is gently and effectively clean it. Plus they're natural.

For additional cleaning and maintenance on acne, try their DRYING LOTION pink stuff that you put on your pimples which dries it, ACNE GEL, which serves as your drying lotion maintenance during day time. To Remove black marks that are left by acne, use their GLYCOLIC WASH and BUFFER LOTION. Check out their line of products online. I dont work for them, its just that they really work and i would like to share it with you.

steam is a miracle worker. i went down to New Orleans for a few days this summer..IT WAS SO HUMID. i swear, i felt like i could scoop the air and eat it! at any rate, while i was there, i was miserable. but when I got home, my skin felt sooooo wonderful. i don't have a big black head issue, but i do have a few on the sides of my nose that frequently appear...they were all gone! i didn't do anything special, so the only thing i can think of is that i washed my face (as usual) and they just fell out! So, as odd as it sounds (because I have never tried it before), I agree with the ladies who suggested to put your face over steam and then wipe your face! Just make sure it's hot hot hot. I also go into the wet (steam) room at my gym. It's WONDERFUL for your pores.

By the way...I am definitely a "natural remedy" chick. People can spend hundreds for chemicals and OTC cleansers and percriptions and facials and crap (although facials are nice :). I have never had an acne problem and all I use is water on most days! I use very very mild soap on my face, and not even everyday. Never any full strength OTC cleansers. They are horrible. And when I need a deep cleaning, I use alcohol on a cotton ball (like once or twice a week). My mother and I have done it all of our lives...no blemishes.

Good luck!

Answer 3

A mixture of baby lotion and salt lightly rubbed on your face before bed each night, and don't rinse, just wipe with a paper towel. Salt kills some of the bacteria that gather on the skin, and at the same time, lotion keeps you from drying out. Models use this!
When you have an hour to kill, use regular white glue and a small piece of cotton blouse material, and make your own pore strips! It works, just longer drying time. Use a saltwater rinse after.
For those pimples that remind you of volcanoes: use a small piece of white medical/adhesive tape overnight, and when you take it off in the morning, it opens up the pimple without squeezing and doing more damage. wash it well, don't rub, and leave it to dry out. You can use more salt...Many people forget, we used salt for eons before GE made refrigerators, to forestall bacteria.
Don't forget to google some acne medications, and remedies from the old days. They often have fewer side affects.

Answer 4

Try clearacil it breaks through dirt and oil. Also Clean your face at least 5 times a day and after use a light lotion. Blackheads are caused by dirt and sweat that gets trapped in your skin if you keep your skin clean you have less chances of blackheads. Also try steaming your face. Boil a hot pot of water allow it to cool then put a towel over your head and put your face over the pot. Then clean your face. Never squeez your blackhead that leaves scars.

Answer 5

While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...

Answer 6

I have facials regularly, thats the best way to eleminate blackheads. You can also do this at home...heat up a washcloth, apply it to your face, then get two ear buds and gently squeeze either side of your blackhead, the warmth from the facecloth will bring the dirt to the surface and open up your pores. if all else fails, use acnexus...it works wonders and you can buy it online or on ebay plus it's VERY cheap and 100% organic!! goodluck

Answer 7

Go natural!! Much cheaper and soooo much healthier than chemical loaded products from the store.
First, make yourself a facial every week, try the honey mask on the site below.
Next, go for a daily cleanser like powdered milk mixed with water to form a paste. Gently massage into skin and rinse with BARELY warm water. This is so great for cleansing but keeping your face's natural oils.

Answer 8

squeeze the ones which are 'ripe' in such a way that you'd remove them without tearing your skin.Then use an astringent like alcohol to sanitize your face(it will not dry your face out).Then use a facial cleanser or scrub(i recommend something from st.ives like the apricot scrub which is very cheap).
If you can afford proactiv however that's the best product to use because it first flushes your system(pushes out ALL blackheads and other acne;this may cause what may SEEM to be a major breakout but then your skin should be COMPLETELY free from the previos contaminants)

Answer 9

Wash your face with soap & water at least 3 times a day. I always used Ivory. It's 99&44/100% pure & very mild. I even used
it to bathe my babies. After washing, dab it with alcohol all over your face. Use cotton balls for this. You'll see the cotton balls turn really black but that's ok. It won't be instantanious but will definitely work & is very cost effective.

Answer 10

Well you have oily skin most likely, try to wash your face with soap and water several times a day, but watch out for drying out your face you could use rubbing alchol wipes one or twice a day.
Go to store get a facial scrub, usaully around $2 to $4.00.
Talk to your Dr about perscriptions, like techrocycline!
