Blackheads and make-up !?

I have blackheads on my nose even though i exfoliate my skin and use blackhead remover and everyday i put foundation on my nose, is there anything else i can totally cover them with so you can see them? Or is there any good treatments to get rid of them?Blackheads and make-up !?
My best advice is to see a dermatologist or a good facialist.





Water-based make-up will not cause blackheads. Acne is caused by a combination of poorly-sloughed skin cells in the pores, which traps sebum and bacteria, causing a type of small cyst (a blackhead). People who don't have acne prone skin don't have this problem, so their advice is typically not relevant. (They tend to focus on the wrong things. And there's simply nothing you can do about how your body sloughs skin cells. People who don't have acne prone skin shed their cells nice and evenly, so they don't clog pores.)





Keeping the skin clean, as free of bacteria as possible, moisturized, and exfoliated, is the best course of action. But a doctor or a competent facialist can give you more precise tips for your specific skin.





And, I'm afraid, as a fellow blackhead-prone person, simply not using make-up on those areas likely won't make the problem any better. Technically speaking, I've had blackheads in my ears and on my earlobes, where I've never worn make-up...ever.





Don't forget a healthy diet low in saturated fats. ...At least, I noticed a distinct improvement when I went from being vegetarian (still eating animal-based products like milk, cream, and cheese) to being vegan (no animal fats...the most common source for saturated fats).Blackheads and make-up !?
Blackheads are caused by excess oils that build up in your pores.


you will need use a treatment, for blackheads. I have been told and read that the blackhead remover strips are not that good for your skin.


heavy cream and lotions cause blackheads too.


get a medicated face wash and use it daily for a week or so and see if things clear up.


Nutrogena makes one just for that. If nothing is working, see a dermatoligist.
get a foundation that is ';good for your skin';, and only wear it when you have to (wash it off right when you can). There is stuff that is a liquid that you squirt on a cotton ball to put on your face, it works pretty well...


A dermatologist could prescribe you something, but they are really expensive.
Foundation will block your pores even more creating more blackheads. Leave the foundation and try different eye make-up to detract attention to somewhere else on your face and people won't notice.
Start using St. Ives apricot cleanser... in the morning and night


I used to get blackheads alot but sense I started using it I havent had any.
