Cleanse the face thoroughly with a good cleanser meant for oily skin. Preferrably use a salicylic acid cleanser.





Apply an astringent like witch hazel. It helps reduce oiliness. If its a bit harsh mix a bit of rose water in it.





Apply a good quality medicated cream or gel containing resorcinol, salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. This helps is soaking the oil and helps in peeling away the blackheads. You can get creams or gels of Benzoyl Peroxide treating blackheads If benzoyl peroxide leaves your skin dry, apply an oil-free moisturizer after 10 mins of applying benzoyl peroxide.

Blackheads and acne on my forehead!?

My forehead is smothered in blackheads and acne,


I know what has caused it, but how can I get rid of it quickly, without complicated ways?


And the only way I can cover it is making it worse,


so please how can I get rid of it quickly?Blackheads and acne on my forehead!?
i have always used natural remedies for issues like that bc when u use chemicals like proactive, once u stop using it, u ALWAYS breakout worse. its true, research it. lol





anyways, miz some BAKING SODA and water til it forms a paste. spread it evenly onto the forehead until it dries. or u could be like me and sleep with it on over night. it is guaranteed to work! i promise! research it! lol or if its really bad, after u rinse the mix off ur face, cut a lemon in half and rub it on ur forehead. allow that to remain there for the rest of the day. its basically natures toner and is guaranteed to minimize ur pore size. my skin has been flawless for a long time now bc of using just natural remedies,

Blackheads and scarring?

If you leave a blackhead alone until it falls out, does it really leave your pore super enlarged permanently or does it return to its normal size, because someone told me that if you dont take it out it might get too big and by the time you do, its just gonna leave a big hole in your face, not like a scar but just from the blackhead stretching your pore.Blackheads and scarring?
black heads can leave scars if left alone. But you may also leave a scar if you try to extract it the wrong way. They sell black head extracters that you mash down on the black head or pimple....never squeeze it. That could leave a scar. Steam your face first to help open the pores.Blackheads and scarring?
Try getting gycolic facials, I do.
Well, you won't look like you have a hole in your face, but correct, yes, the pore can become permanently enlarged. Give yourself regular facials to get rid of blackheads.
Be really careful, I started getting blackheads at 13, I'm now 43 and still have them; it's taken the doctors all that time to find out I have mild acne rosacea.





Take to your GP or someone in the chemist/drug store and find out exactly what's wrong.
yEAH THATS TRUE
i dunno just pop them out and wash your face well all the time.
not sure about the large pore situation but a great product for acne is pro active. I was hesitant about using at first u know because of the whole ';infomercial'; thing but it is the best over the counter product ever, I recomend it to everybody!!!!!!!

Blackheads and pimples.?

I have a lot of black heads on my nose. Here's what I do: I clean my face with an astringent and then use a cleanser. Is that good enough and what do otherpeople do to get rid of them. And how do i get rid of the pimple on my nose?Blackheads and pimples.?
Steam them (head over a bowl of boiling water with a towel over your head) and then wipe gently to remove the blackheads;Blackheads and pimples.?
It's all part of growing up. You should see you local GP who can often describe antibiotics to kill the bacteria which causes the black heads. You can also use pore strips and then wash you face with a good cleanser like neutragena. I used to be in the same predictment but now I have quite clear skin as I took anti-biotics to kills the bacteria and I use tea-tree cleanser which acts as a killing bacteria devise as we ll as a good cleanser.

Blackheads=unhappy plez help!?

I have blackheads on my nose!And ii wanna learn how to get ride of them without goin to spas and buyin strips plez help thnx!Blackheads=unhappy plez help!?
Okay, a lot of the remedies being posted here are against the advice of every dermatology study ever done. What you do NOT want to do is irritate your skin, which is exactly what steaming or rubbing like crazy will do. Steaming your face burns the inside layers of your skin!





Here's a list of things you can try:


1. There are a lot of cheap but excellent gentle facial cleansers out there. Try Clean %26amp; Clear Foaming Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin ($3.79), Olay Sensitive Skin Foaming Face Wash ($3.99), or Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin ($5.99). Wash your face once in the morning and once at night, but don't scrub or pull at the skin.


2. You'll need a Benzoyl peroxide product. Now, here's the catch: cheaper products come in 10% concentrations, which may be too harsh for you, and there are more expensive 2.5% and 5% concentrations. I would strongly advise trying Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment Vanishing Formula 2.5% ($6.75) before moving onto the stronger Clean %26amp; Clear Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength ($3.49) -- it's worth the extra $3.


3. Now something that is optional but may really help you is a BHA solution. BHA gently (important word, here) exfoliates


your skin's surface and the inside of your pores. The cheapest one I know of (with no irritating ingredients) is Clearasil Acne Fighting Facial Moisturizers ($3.99).





IMPORTANT: I know there is definitely a temptation to use the harshest products you can in an effort to kill off the blackheads, but trust me, it will make them worse! BHA exfoliation is the way to go!Blackheads=unhappy plez help!?
first steam ur face for 5 to 8 mins


and when the pores are open


take a thick towel wet it in hot water peel it and scrub it on ur nose ...


try this every week it will go away


and one more thing this u try once or twice a week


and while taking bath also use hot water towel everyday


juz scrub ur nose wid the towel ...


but steaming twice a week...





all the best ...


god bless u...
they make blackhead clearing face washes...you could try one of those
Why just make something for only your nose? Why not try healing your entire face?





You can try a homemade facial mask. I usually whip up an oatmeal mask.





-1/2 cup of oatmeal (Quaker oats from the kitchen is good.) -You can have it in a powder [optional.]


-2-3 tsp of water


-Mix well until the mixture becomes thick. [You may add more oatmeal if the mixture is too thin, or add more water if the mixture is too thick.]


-Apply to face.


-Let it sit for 15-20 minutes.


-Wash off with warm water, and make a final rinse with cold water.


-You may apply a light moisturizer.





[Optional]


You can add other ingredients like sugar [opens pores] or honey [good for most skin types.]





You can use this facial mask once every week.





You won't see drastic results until for a few weeks. But when you do, it'll be worth it!
squeeeeze. LOL
everytime u get out of the shower, take your towel n rub it against your nose. This tip helps u get rid of your black/white heads both. also try using a scrub thrice a week.
Try to use an exfoliating scrub...there are tons of them at the Drug Store to choose from. But also make sure you are washing all makeup and dirt off your face everyday! Goodluck
Wash your face with a


warm wash cloth %26amp; soap daily


((night%26amp;day))
i also have blackheads and want to get rid of them!





but hey use this..Neutrogena face wash!


they clear blackheads acne and other un wanted oils on your face! use it! it could tottally clear your face!








good luck!
Boil some water in a pot, then bring it to a counter/table [still in pot] and put your face over it for as long as you can stand. Doing this will loosen up the dirt and oil in your pores, which [i know is bad, but we all do it] makes them sooo much easier to pop. just make sure your hands are clean before you pop them and that you use toner or some other cleanser on your face afterwards.
What really helps if you just simply wash your face with soap in the morning and any time during the day, also before bedtime.


Then use a cloth and scrub your nose really really well until it feels smooth. Do this for a couple of times.. I did it, and still do..it really helps, it smoothens it all out.
