  • Could my face mask cause my blackheads to get worse?

    I use Freeman facial peel off mask cucumber. It says its supposed to get rid of impurities. I've used it twice now and it only seems to make my blackheads worse and more noticeable. Could it be that I need to keep using it to get it to work or should I stop now to avoid even worse damage?Could my face mask cause my blackheads to get worse?
    I used to love using those masks for blackheads because I love how it can take out everything and you can see them on there!





    It was just too cool to be true but then i realized that it only widens my pores thus allowing them to stay big and more oil and stuff to get clogged in them..





    so then producing more black heads..





    I'd say just don't use those masks for blackheads if that is what you are using...Could my face mask cause my blackheads to get worse?
    It usually takes time for these things to work. However, I have had bad experiences with Freeman brand. I only use stuff from the Body Shop. The seaween line works amazing for blackheads and whiteheads so I suggest trying that. I would use a nice exfoliating face wash followed by a nice, light moisturizer. The I would get a wash off mask, not peel off. The Ionic Seaweek Clay Mask works awsome!
    Some peel off masks will make your impuriteis worse. If your skin is oily try a clay based mask, if your skin is dry a peel off mask may not be what you need.
    Make sure you follow any face mask with an exfoliating scrub to get all of it off. It could be that little bits of the face mask get stuck in your pores and clog them further.
    It might have oils in it which just add to the oil thats already on your skin which can cause more blackheads. Try a scrub face wash or something.
    You could have sensitive skin

    this article has tips on the treatment of acne and scaring that will help you out
    buy some exfoliating face soap, or buy a body glove to wash your face with. All it is is built up oil.
    pro active luv, it really does work
    Maybe a dermatologist. I was put on antibiotics
    Use Proactive... I did and it cleared it up within the first month. Now all I use is just soap and water, they never came back!

    I don't have really bad acne- it's just the scars and blackheads!?

    What are some quick easy cheap ways to get rid of acne scars and blackheads? And a few pimples here and there! Thanks so much :)I don't have really bad acne- it's just the scars and blackheads!?
    Try something like Proactiv. A great idea is a facial. You can take 3 avocados and scoop out the stuff inside and discard the pit. Put a squirt of lotion (any kind) and mix with a whisk. Sometimes you may want to put a hint of citrus (with a lemon being most recommended). But not to much or else it will get sticky and not good for your skin. Aloe works too. You can use like a butter kind of lotion and apply to acne. Sometimes it can come from the sun if you live in a hot, hot place like florida. Just make sure you put sunscreen on if you live where it gets hot and maybe you'll get smoother skin with no acne. Sometimes rubbing honey on will get them gone. Just make sure you leave this mask of honey on for like say about 30 minutes or 45 minutes. A doctor/dermatologist is always good to go too. Try nose strips for black heads also. If you like the idea of a facial here are a few recipes. Honey Facial * (warning - do not use this if you are allergic to eggs!)


    1 tablespoon honey


    1 egg yoke


    1 teaspoon olive oil


    Beat the egg yoke with a fork, add the oil and blend well. Add the honey using a spoon that you have rinsed with hot water and blend well again. Smear it all over your face with your fingers, except do not cover your eyes. Leave it on your face for 15 minutes, then rinse it off.








    Cucumber Facial


    1 cucumber


    1/2 teaspoon lemon juice


    1 teaspoon witch hazel (you can buy this in any drug store)


    1 egg white, beaten with an electric beater until fluffy.


    Peel the cucumber and run it through a blender or a food processor. Pour the cucumber pulp into a colander or strainer and force it through, catching the liquid that comes out in a bowl underneath. Combine the cucumber liquid with the lemon juice and the witch hazel. Stir it and add the beaten egg white gently. Put it on your face and leave it on for 15 to 25 minutes, then rinse off.


    Refreshing Fruit Facials





    PEACH TIGHTENING MASK


    1 Peach, ripe, peeled, pitted


    1 Egg white


    Whip the peach and egg white together in a blender until smooth. Gently pat the mixture all over your face. Relax for 30 minutes, then rinse it off with cool water.











    APPLE MASK FOR NORMAL SKIN


    1 Apple, cored %26amp; quartered


    2 T Honey


    Drop the apple pieces into a food processor and chop. Add honey and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Pat the mixture onto your face with a light tapping motion, tapping until the honey feels tacky. Leave it on for 30 minutes and then rinse.











    CUCUMBER MASK FOR OILY SKIN


    1/2 Cucumber


    1 Egg white


    1 T Lemon juice


    1 tsp mint


    Puree everything and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm, then cool water.











    STRAWBERRY DRAWING MASK


    1/2 c Strawberries, very ripe


    1/4 c Cornstarch


    Mix strawberries and cornstarch together to make a paste and apply it to your face, avoiding the delicate area around your eyes. Leave it on for 30 minutes and then rinse it off with cool water.











    CITRUS FRESHNER


    2 cups boiling water


    1 vitamin C (a preservative)


    Lemon peel (zest) from 2 lemons


    Dissolve the vitamin in water. In a glass bowl put the lemon zest and pour the water over them. Let it sit over night. Remove the zest and put in a spray bottle. You can use any type of citrus peel.











    BLEMISHED SKIN MASK


    1 Tomato, ripe, chopped


    1 tsp Lemon juice


    1 T Instant style oatmeal or old-fashioned rolled oats


    Blend everything until just combined. Apply to skin, making sure the mixture is thick enough to stay on blemished areas: cheeks, forehead, or chin. If necessary, add a bit more oatmeal to thicken the mask. Leave it on for 10 minutes, then scrub it off with a clean washcloth dipped in warm water.

    Biore warming anti-blackhead cream cleanser works really great also. There are lazer treatments if it is that bad. Make sure you do not pop or pick them unless you want skin damage. If the nature of your scars is mild to moderate, then home remedies are sufficient. There are many lotions based on alpha hydroxyl acid and retinol. These lotions are very effective for the treatment of the acne scars. it also depends on the type of your skin. If you have a sensitive skin type, it will be better not to use lotions based on the above ingredients. They can harm sensitive skin. Also, try lemon juice.


    To use the lemon juice treatment to remove your acne scar you will need to first wash your face with warm water. Then pour some lemon juice on a cotton ball, and then gently rub the effected acne mark area. For best results leave the lemon juice on your face for about 10 minutes and then dry the affected acne scar area. To start seeing results with the lemon juice it can take anywhere from one day and even up to three months. Results will vary depending on the seriousness of the acne problem. If you have heard rumors that eating candy and oils cause pimples and acne I think it's true. So you may want to go on a diet without any oils or candies. By avoiding the use of vegetable oils in your cooking, it has been reported that it can be one of the leading factors in clearing up your acne by 50%. Even in sever cases it has been said that that people who stopped using such vegetable oils, have been completely relieved of any future acne outbreaks. Believe it or not by drinking more than the recommended 8 glasses of water daily will immediately begin to see results with getting rid of your acne scars. If you are a severe acne suffer you should stay away from carbonated drinks, and caffeine drinks such as coffee, and sodas.Though the best way to remove blackheads is an area of contention, the most common method for getting rid of blackheads is to gently squeeze them. Removing the “stuff” inside of the blackhead helps the skin because you are relieving the pressure which causes the damage. We know it can be nearly impossible to leave a blemish alone so here are some tips for gentle blackhead removal:





    Step 1:Use a mild scrub or exfoliant to remove any dead cells and expose the blackhead.





    Step 2:Pat your face dry.





    Step 3:Place a slightly warm compress on your face for approximately 10-15 minutes in order to soften the blackhead, making it easier to remove.





    Step 4:Pat your face dry again.





    Step 5:Place a piece of tissue on the tip of each finger to avoid slipping, which could tear the skin and cause further damage.





    Step 6:Gently apply even pressure to both sides of the blackhead by pushing down, then up around the blemish. You’re trying to apply the pressure from *underneath* the blackhead.





    Only attempt this once or twice. If it does not “pop”, you may bruise the skin, make the blackhead worse, and could cause scarring.








    If you want to get rid of blackheads you're going to stop using oil-based makeup and skin treatments. I hope I helped and your acne goes away. Good luck!!I don't have really bad acne- it's just the scars and blackheads!?
    toothpaste on the spot..overight..for acne





    lemon+honey on the spot..overnight..for scars
    visit your doctor


    somtimes they can help you chose on products that can get rid of those things !





    ive asked my doctor before and she wrote down some face washes that would help, i baught one, and they did !





    Cetaphyl helps, its soft on the skin
    Biore warming anti-blackhead cream cleanser is pretty good!


    but you should always go to the dermatologist
    you can use mederma...that stuff's good.


    you can also use clean%26amp;clear blackhead cleanser or proactiv for the rest. ;)
    buy queen helene's mint julep masque from walgreens. its about $3-4 and works really well at getting rid of blackheads, tightening pores and shrinking pimples.





    to get rid of blackheads- wash face with hot water, then---while your pores are still open from hot water---apply mint julep masque.





    for acne/acne scars-- the home remedy i've found that works the quickest and with great results is egg yolk. spread across the acne scars and leave on until they dry [about 15-20 min]. then wash off. for best results, apply 2-3 times a day for 2 weeks. after one week, you should see significant results. even after one day youll see results. i saw more results using egg yolk in reducing redness than when using aloe vera.





    egg whites can be used as a mask too


    to tighten pores and dry up pimples.





    also, theres a multivitamin at target.


    this is a REALLY important way to get rid of acne for good.


    its the generic brand of women's ';one a day';. i thnk its $10 or around there but trust me, its well worth the money. it contains zinc, vitamin a, c and e, as well as b vitamins. these are ALL good for acne and regeneration of skin cells [helps acne scars get erased]. you need this!
    try lemon juice on the scars to lighten them


    or coco butter


    or bio oil


    or aloe


    try the clay strips you put on your nose and pull of for blackheads


    alone with a blackhead eliminating scrub
    they usually have a couple stuff


    like that in the stores.


    like nose strips for blackheads.


    i use them sometimes.


    i also use St. Ives Apricot scrub


    for acne and blackheads. it refreshes your


    skin and makes it feel renewed :]

    Sugar


    Lemon juice


    Milk


    And baking soda





    Make sure you keep it refridgerated.Is olive oil bad for acne prone skin????i get lots of blackheads?
    I'm studying to be a dermatologist. First, I'll tell you what some of the main causes of acne are: Hormones, Stress, Heavy or Oily Make-Up, Diets, Genes, Sweat, Dirt, Oil, Picking, Plucking, and Squeezing, Oil from when Your Hair gets on Your Face, Clogged Pores, Irritation, and Certain Face Washes. What you always need in your acne wash is Salicylic Acid. Not very many acne washes have this (surprisingly) except for Clearasil and and Neutrogena. I use Clearasil and it has definitely worked for me and I noticed a difference in just one week. When you start using a new acne wash, it's a good idea to only use it once a day and gradually increase to two or three times a day. You should wash your face before you go to bed and when you wake up in the morning and of course whenever you get sweaty (after sports, work, etc.). After you wash your face, wait 5-15 min. before you put anything on your face. The water could still be on your face or in your pores even if it's not visible, so you have to wait for it to dry. Once you've waited, put Benzoyl Peroxide on your face (can be found in Clearasil Creams). The Benzoyl Peroxide will reduce zit size and redness and prevent acne from coming back. Be careful when you use Benzoyl Peroxide because if it gets in your hair, it could bleach the part it touched. The only good part about it, is that it will bleach facial hairs and make them not as visible. You also should not put on Benzoyl Peroxide if you are going out in the sun. If the sun has contact with the Benzoyl peroxide it could bleach your skin and leave a mark. Do not put on Benzoyl Peroxide if you have a sunburn on your face because it will dry out the sunburn and cause pealing. It's best if you use the same brand of products. I do not recommend using toners, astringents, or pads. Exfoliaters are not good for your face unless you have really dry skin. If you don't have a lot of dry skin, don't use exfoliaters because it can irritate your acne and cause more acne to appear. Do not pick or pop acne because it will only irritate it and create more acne. Also be sure to stay on a healthy diet and drink plenty of water. Good Luck!!
    NO!! If you have acne, your skin is making too much oil, which clogs the pores and eventually makes a big nasty pimple the size of Russia. Drink loooaads of water and clean your face with water or a face cleanser three times a day - morning, afternoon, and night. I recommend Benzac, because my skin cleared up a fair bit within a week.
    no use the neutrgena power cleanser

    My skin is really bad...not with spots..but blackheads & scars from spots..HELP!?

    i have lots of blackheads around nose, and after i got rid of them, they started appearing on my cheeks..nd again they hav spread to my nose. even on my forehead...i have tried every product there is, clean %26amp; clear, clearasil..even had them removed by the beautician but they keep coming back..what shall i do?! any suggestions..thanks..xxxMy skin is really bad...not with spots..but blackheads %26amp; scars from spots..HELP!?
    Beat white part of an egg. Add one teaspoon of honey and with a cotton swab, apply it on face. Keep it around half an hour and then scrub well and rinse with warm water. This is also good for blackheads and dark spots.

    Spend your $$$ wisely and go see a Dermatologist in your town. They will probably put you on an antibiotic and a special face scrub soap and follow it with one of the Benzoyl Peroxide 6% pads that help to exfoliate the blackheads a little at a time. Scrubbing your face hard will only make what you have worse, so go at it gently but with the right meds/tools and your acne will be gone in a short time. I've been thru this with my teen son and his face is gorgeous and not one scar now.....because of the Dermatologist.
    I bought one of those over-the-counter acid peels and that helped with the scarring I have from acne, in addition to treating current breakouts. I think it was by Revlon or something. I bought it at Wal-mart near the cosmetics section and it was about $20-25.





    As for the blackheads, try looking at acne.org. They have a lot of advice on that website.
    Suggestion-try homeopathy or Ayurveda and see the difference!
    I have a few on my nose but i use face washes and cleansers everyday so they are almost gone.


    I suggest you use neutrogena face washes and any kind of face cleansers everyday.
    Try microdermabrasion. It costs about $150 per treatment, but it gets rid of all your blackheads and smooths out your scars. I get mine done at American Laser Centers, and they do a good job.

    It's bad to squeeze out blackheads, right?

    does it really leave scars?It's bad to squeeze out blackheads, right?
    NO...Not if you do it right. First you take a HOT shower or steam your face for like 15mins then, with tissue or gloves on, squeeze those suckers. If it hurts, stop. People only get scars and black marks when they are uneducated and do it wrong. Working in a salon and day spa for 2 years now has taught me that there are two ways to fix blackheads. The way I metioned above or go to a Licensed Esthetician (THIS IS THE BEST AND SAFEST). The best way is a European Spa Facial, it's relaxing and a nessesity to get rid of those pesky blackheads.It's bad to squeeze out blackheads, right?
    Yes, it's bad if you do not have the skills. Leave it to the facial professionals. Or use blackhead peel-offs available in beauty stores. Or GInvera Marvel Blackhead Remover Gel. Hopefully, you've the items at your country.

    Not unless you do it wrong. There is certain time to do it, so it doesn't leave scars. Read about it. I have had it squeezed out by professionals, and it never left any marks or did not enlarge any pores.
    Use the Biore strips
    Yes! Use some pore strips or exfoliate with a soft bristle brush, Never squeeze anything on your face.. a scar is worse then a blackhead babe.

    3~take a bath scrunchy, like a girl uses, and rub on your face all over, rub mostly on your nose though{note: it will make your nose red and a little raw for the first few days you use it}





    4~rinse, reapeat





    5~take an exfloiating scrub.{this time be sure there IS beads in it} rub all over your face, especially your nose. do not rinse, just let it dry and go to bed.








    hope i helped :)I have blackheads really bad on my nose i think ive tried everything from the store!any suggestions?
    Biore nose strips work well on my nose.


    I f you haven't already tried them, I suggest you do.


    After you use them put the nose strip under a bright light you can see all the **** it pulled off of your nose. It always amazes me.


    There is also an exfoliater by Biore I use that get rid of blackheads.


    Biore products work great.
    Make a face mask from mashed up avocados or mashed up bananas and a little honey from a jar, put on your face, and leave on for 10-12 mins. When you wash it off (it will come off easily) you will have smooth, clear skin and no blackheads.
    Try BIORE nose STRIPS...you wet your nose then sick on the nose strick, pat it down let it Dry 15 min and Quickly Rip off along with the 100's of mini blk head soldiers...IT WORKS ...get it at a local drug store./.
    buy some biore strips from a drugstore, its basically a sticky piece of paper that you put on your nose and then pull off, they work very well.
    mix water sugar and lime i never tried it but mi frends say it works
    steaming! Then exfoliate

    I want to remove these blackheads sooo bad help ?

    GO TO A REAL DERMATOLOGIST ASK HIM TO REMOVE THEM FOR YOU THESE GUYS DO A BETTER JOB!I want to remove these blackheads sooo bad help ?
    Well, I heard blackhead strips... but I heard they don't work really good and you have to do them over and over again. Or, there are some pads.





    To me the cheapest way is open your pores with hot steam or warm water, then exploit with granulated sugar, baking soda, or sea salt.

    i have pretty bad skin and school starts in a week and a half wat are some cheap quick things to stop breakouts and/or blackheadsHelp with bad skin, blackheads, and breakouts?
    Home remedies:





    Apple Zinger Facial Mask (Oily and Acne Prone Skin)


    Take 1 medium size apple, grated fine, 5 tbs. honey. Mix the grated apple and honey well. Smooth over skin and let sit for 15 minutes. Rinse off with cool water.





    Cool as a Cucumber Yogurt Facial (Normal/Oily Skin)


    1/2 cucumber


    1 Tbsp plain yogurt


    Puree cucumber in blender mix in yogurt, apply to face. Leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse well.





    Honey Mask (Oily/Blemished Skin)


    Massage a small amount of slightly heated honey onto skin and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to wash off all the honey with lukewarm water or the honey left will clog your pores, resulting in more acne. Wheat germ may be added for its abrasive action, protein and nutrients.





    Pineapple Olive Oil Mask


    In a blender, combine 4 large pineapple chunks or 1/2 cup canned, drained pineapple and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Blend until almost smooth. Apply mixture to face with fingertips and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse face with warm water and pat dry.





    Tomato Blemish Remedy


    1 tomato, ripe, chopped


    1 tsp. lemon juice


    1 T instant style oatmeal or old fashioned rolled oats


    Blend all ingredients until just combined, in a paste. Apply to blemished skin, making sure the mixture is thick enough to stay in place. Leave in place 10 minutes. Remove with damp washcloth, and rinse and tone.





    Honey Yogurt Exfoliating Facial Scrub


    Mix 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar with 陆 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of plain yogurt. Smooth the mixture over your face and leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse off using lukewarm water.





    Oatmeal Exfoliating Facial Scrub


    Mix one pack of instant oatmeal with water to create a paste. Once the paste is formed, dab the mixture onto your entire face. Let the mixture set for approximately 2 minutes and rinse off with cold water. According to experts oily skin should be treated with an oatmeal mask to get good results. Oatmeal when mashed not only acts as a great scrub but also effectively soaks away the excess oil from your face. The usage of oatmeal paste must be followed by a cold water rinse that helps in contracting the pores.





    Seawater


    Wash your face twice a day in warm, salty water. This helps leave your face clean and oil-free -- without employing any potentially irritating products or soaps.





    Toning: Egg Whites


    Using egg whites is the cheapest and easiest way to tone your skin at home. Simply separate a few raw egg whites into a bowl and apply directly on the facial skin after cleansing. Let the egg white dry for at least 15 minutes and rinse it off with lukewarm water for an instant glow. For acne, take one egg white and put it directly on top of the pimple for 20 minutes.





    Garlic


    Peel and mash eight cloves of fresh garlic. Apply to face avoiding the area around the eyes. Leave on for about 15 minutes. Wash off with a warm cloth.





    Toothpaste


    Put toothpaste on your pimples before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel.





    Baking Soda Solution


    You will need 1 tbsp. baking soda, 1 tbsp. water. Mix together ingredients and apply on face allowing it to sit for 15 minutes before rinsing it with warm water. Baking Soda is very cheap and one box will last you a very long time. You can also use baking soda as an exfoliator: be careful when applying it to your face, since it is a very effective scrub. Massage the baking soda into your skin for ten to fifteen seconds and rinse. Your face is now clear of the surface cells that will cause many acne spots.


    Help with bad skin, blackheads, and breakouts?
    I have combination skin, its sensitive and oily and I've been fighting those under the skin painful pimples for the last 3 years. The best thing I've found so far is Differin cream .3% from the dermatologist. Its the new and improved one and really works well. Also, using a toner at night after you wash your face helps get rid of any existing dirt you might have missed. Change your pillow case every other night (I flip it over the next night) and changing your bathroom towel helps too.
    1. wash your face regularly (sp?)


    2. touching your face only adds oils, so... hands off!!


    3. any type of benzoilperoxide will dry the blackheads/whiteheads in a few days.


    4. after benzoilperoxide, you will probably need a face clenanser that will ride your skin of excess dirt and oils... makeup can add to breakouts too, so not to much.


    5. you can get a good cleanser from walgreens or any sort of pharmacy/drugstore place, and an inexpensive one will work just fine!!


    good luck!
    I have the same thing...

    How can I remove blackheads from my nose? It's really bad it looks like a have a strawberry nose..any answers

    Save your money on creams and cleansers that can damage your skin. I can guarantee results by doing the following. I Noticed a few years back that I started to build up whatever it is builds up under your pores especially on your nose area. Out of coincidence I solved this problem. Let me elaborate how I got to it. I am a person that works out a lot so I am constantly exposed to certain elements that can make your skin a bit dirtier than others. In addition my diet is made up of a high percentage of protein which over time can clog your pores.on the long run) Don't get me wrong protein is good.


    In a process on training for a triathlon I considered using a steam room to toughen up my training. So guess what after only two 20 minute sessions inside the steam. Waalaa it was as if I had a nose job for real. During the 20 minutes inside the sauna I softly rubbed my nose a few times to scrub off the build up. Make sure you breath through your nose to open up your pores from the inside of your nose. If you are human you will see results. Not only will you loose weight but you will feel energized.


    If you can't get to a steam room buy yourself a facial steam machine and breath through your nose. But I do recommend the steam room. Use a moisturizer afterwardsHow can I remove blackheads from my nose? It's really bad it looks like a have a strawberry nose..any answers
    What I used to do %26amp; it don't give you a red nose like the strips when you rip them off. Is Hold a hot to very warm wash cloth on your nose for 5 min. Then use a finger nail to scrape off the easy black heads. Then for the tougher ones wipe them with a alcohol swab. Most house holds have these items %26amp; you don't have to go %26amp; buy a bunch of expensive stuff that you find out later doesn't work. Good LuckHow can I remove blackheads from my nose? It's really bad it looks like a have a strawberry nose..any answers
    i know me too!! i've don't everything to get rid of them and astringant makes it worse! please tell me if you get a good answer
    there are scrubbing cleaners that help clean out pores.
    just every day clean your face with soup and water
    pore strips, they really do work.
    I know what you mean. I have exactly the same problem. I tried everything. The only thing that worked for me is those little no pore nose pads. Avon makes them. So does a few other not very well known companies. They take out about 90% of the hair. It looks much better. The hair grows back in 10 days. That is the best thing I found. I'm sorry to say nothing removes 100%. Good luck!
    The blackheads are waxy. Try the biore strips, which really really work. Make sure you use warm water first to kind of open your pores then apply the strip to a damp nose, wait to dry, and be amazed at how gross your nose is! I use them all of the time.
    You're sick. Blackheads are nothing more than dirty pores. Wash your face!
    You'll never get rid of them completely. Trust me. No one is looking at them nearly as closely as you are. Stop obsessing.
    Use the biore black head strips. It's best to use them after a hot shower. The hot steam allows your pores to open and you skin get more elasticity. It makes the strips more effective.
    Use Biore pore strips

    I look after my skin but i have bad blackheads and am starting to get acne?

    and to top it all off i can't hide it with foundation or powder because it brings up all this dry skin, i dont know whats happening! i have combination skin, and alternate between moisturisers because after a while they burn my skin, i use biore face scrub and will usually do a chocolate face mask once a month or so, i think im getting heaps of pimples because of me over moisturizing my skin lately but i really hate everyone seeing millions of blackheads on my chin and tip of my nose :( anybody help please!I look after my skin but i have bad blackheads and am starting to get acne?
    i'll give u some home remedies which u can try out


    Take one tablespoon black pepper powder and add to it enough curd to make thick paste. Apply on the infected area and let it dry. Wash off after 5-7 minutes. This is an effective cure for blackheads or to get rid of blackheads.


    The benzol peroxide helps to soften the blackheads with the oxygen it contains.





    An ideal mask that extracts dirt and oil from clogged pores can be made by using orange peel and youghurt. It also opens up the clogged pores that cause acne and blackheads. Take 2 tablespoons of orange peel powder and add 4 tablespoons of yoghurt to make a paste. Apply all over the face, while gently rubbing in circular motion. Wash off with cold water. An excellent way to prevent clogged pores and keep the skin clean and healthy.

    btw it worked for me i tried it long time ago











    good luck!I look after my skin but i have bad blackheads and am starting to get acne?
    This sounds counter-intuitive, but your efforts to eradicate your blackheads may be causing the dry skin and acne. It sounds like your skin may be sensitive (cleansers and moisturizers may tingle; they should never sting). Try buying a soap-free cleanser (Aveeno makes good ones) and stop the harsh exfoliating. I have sensitive skin, and I was a big fan of the Apricot Scrub. I stopped using it and switched to the Aveeno cleanser (applied with a washcloth for gentle exfoliation) and it really helped.





    As for the blackheads, you can draw them out without scrubbing by using an activated charcoal mask. Origins makes a great one. Only use it twice a week maximum, though, as it does draw out moisture too. And remember to keep moisturizing.
    What I recommend you do is use the St. Ive's Apricot Scrub for Acne and Blackhead Control. It's really gentle and works great for me when I break out or for the blackheads on my nose. You don't need to overmoisturize, but just make sure you moisturize at least once a day, especially before putting on foundation, or else it will give you the ';dry skin'; look.
    Biore ice cleanser and Biore toner in the morning and Neutrogena sensitive OIL FREE moisturizer before using makeup.





    Clearasil gel OIL FREE cleanser and Clearasil ULTRA deep pore cleansing pads at night








    This has worked WONDERS for my skin and I don't dare change it.... Also, you need to make sure you drink lots of water daily!!! And don't ever sleep with makeup on! (And keep your cell phone away from skin when on for long periods of time... that can cause breakouts on your cheeks!)
    acne isn't just from having oily skin....what you eat has a *major* impact. if you eat a lot of carbs, even ';healthy'; things like whole wheat bread, that can cause acne. so really pay attention to what you eat for a few days. eat your veggies (even though they're gross) and avoid cake, cracker, bread, chips, etc (obviously don't give it up entirely, just make sure you're balanced)
    Try Clean%26amp;Clear blackhead eraser it works super well and after that you should try C%26amp;C face wash and face cream I love the stuff it work great!!!

  • How to get rid of EXTREMELY bad blackheads?

    HELP. Biore strips don't work for me. I use scrubs and wash my face daily and I've had them all my life, yet it seems like as I get older they get worse... Does anyone have any ideas other than squeeze them out? There are tons that reappear daily so it's kind of hard to keep up with squeezing them all out for hours per day. Not to mention some won't come out.How to get rid of EXTREMELY bad blackheads?
    You need to switch to a gentler routine. Your skin is really stressed. Stop using scrubs daily. Use once a week at most. Start using a cleanser for sensitive skin: Aveda All Sensitive is the best but Neutrogena gentle facial cleanser is good if you're on a budget. Use that in the AM and immediately before bed, then splash with cold water a few times and moisturize. Aveda has an oil that contains a little salicilic acid-- use that every time you wash. It soothes a lot. Don't be afraid of moisturizing-- if your skin has moisture it will produce less sebum and you'll get fewer blackheads.





    Gentler, gentler, and the blackheads should minimize within a few months. You might never be completely free of them, but they should diminish a lot. Avoid using many products on the blackhead areas including makeup and acne medications.





    Also, if you scrub once a week, steam your skin for a few minutes first and a lot of the blackheads will wash away.How to get rid of EXTREMELY bad blackheads?

    How do i get rid of bad blackheads.. and quick?

    i've had a problem with spots for a while.. i'm 15.


    recently went to the doctors and he gave me something for spots.


    but because i was always preoccupied with the spots i never noticed the blackheads (its not because of the tablets i've always had them just didn't really see them)


    They're covering my nose (it looks sponge like..they're every where some on my cheeks,chin and forehead- basically all over my face.





    I don't really have money to spend on products that don't work. my parents don't even have money to give me.. recession so if its a gardened work i would buy it unless threes some simple way.





    I heard of steaming your face? and squeezing them- but i tried that and it just left finger mark all over my face (and they're tricky to get at around the nose)





    I'm SO embarrassed with them..can anyone help?How do i get rid of bad blackheads.. and quick?
    Use the packet that has black heads remover you put some water on it then put it on your nose for 15mins and take it off. You can buy it from WalmartHow do i get rid of bad blackheads.. and quick?
    btw; you dont squeeze blackheads, thats what you do to whiteheads.


    scratch them off or use a needle like what you would do if you had a splinter.


    you should use some kind of facial wash/scrup %26amp; moisturize daily. as dry skin causes spots
    I'm sorry to say this, but blackheads do not go away by themselves. Don't listen to anyone who tells you some product will make them go away. Blackheads sit deep in your skin and that's why they don't go away. You will have to squeeze them out. I have a bunch of blackheads too and I have to squeeze them out. It will leave finger marks on your face and that's why you should do it at night. A few hours before you're going to bed. That way the finger marks will be gone by the time you get up for school, or anything else. You can get a scrub to scrub off the dead skin cells on your body. It won't do too much but it will take off one of the layers of skin that is covering the blackhead. You can also squeeze them out after you've taken a shower. That way it won't hurt as much because your skin is damp. Make sure that your hands and nails are clean when you do this though. If you have dirty hands or fingers the blackhead might get infected and then it'll just turn into a pimple. Hope I could help.
    Biore nose strips work really well. You can purchase them at really any drug store; Walgreens, Rite Aid, Longs, CVS, etc.


    Just be careful when pulling them off...it can hurt like a b***h.

    I have zits and blackheads bad i have tried EVRYTHING tell me what has worked for you thanks!?

    70% rubbing alcohol and a wash cloth. It'll burn but it'll clean the blackheads out at least even if it does nothing to the zits which are a type of surface skin ';infection';.





    My college graduate nutritionist sister says that cutting back on fatty and or surgery foods should help because in order to have clear skin it needs proper nutrition. So eat more fruits and vegetables, and if possible exterminate fast food from your diet to increase you over all health for your entire body.I have zits and blackheads bad i have tried EVRYTHING tell me what has worked for you thanks!?
    My son had the same problem and we tried everything. Things from the store and prescriptions from the doctors. Then I bought him pro activ... it worked. finally. You should try the sample kit if you havent. I swear it works. I have zits and blackheads bad i have tried EVRYTHING tell me what has worked for you thanks!?
    clean and clear advantage


    the stuff is amazing
    i had bad acne for a while. i tried some creams, antibiotics, stuff like that but what worked best fro me i will list to you bellow


    -not picking


    -being outside (especially the beach)


    -exercise


    -cutting back on sugary or fatty foods (candy is a killer)


    -using soaps like dove or olay, the harsher stuff gets you 'cleaner' but it dries you out like crazy and thus cause acne
    You can try proactiv or what you can do is buy a system.


    that contains a wash, clarifier, and toner and do the system every morning and night i used the clinque brand its good for young woman and it worked great i used it for 6 months then stopped and i still dont get break outs and that was over 2 yrs ago
    Witch hazel...its organic and an old remidy that worked for my cousin
    Microdermabrasion works well with things like acne treatment facels.

    What products should I use for bad blackheads & occasional bad zits?

    I have, of course, heard of tons of products to help acne, blackheads, pimple, etc., BUT considering I don't have the money to go buy a at-home spa I'm not sure what to use or do.


    I don't have bad acne (thank goodness, but I get bad pimples in my hairline, and occasionally on my nose.


    My worst problem is my blackheads which accumulate on the side of my nose, are super hard to get off...


    Anyway, I am about to start the Clean %26amp; Clear ADVANTAGE deal with all the bangs and whistles, but before I do, anyone have a better suggestion?What products should I use for bad blackheads %26amp; occasional bad zits?
    I use the Oil Free Acne Cleanser with Microclear Technology by Neutrogena. It's in an Orange bottle. Make sure it says ';With Microclear Technology'; on it. It's somewhere between 7 - 9$ at Target. And always moisturize your skin if it feels tight. I use the Soft Day Moisturizer with SPF 15 by Clean and Clear. It's, also, somewhere between 7 - 9$ at Target. Cleanse your face twice a day, once when you wake up and once before you go to bed.





    Or, for blackheads, you could go with the really crazy option, Elmer's Glue! Use Elmer's glue on your face to get rid of blackheads. Simply apply the glue to your face and peel off when dry.





    Also, for your hairline, powder Your roots.If your hairline starts to look greasy, dig up a big, fluffy makeup brush, and dip it into a pot of loose powder. Tap it once on the back of your hand to remove the excess, and then dust it over your roots. It mops up oil and blends into your strands.











    What products should I use for bad blackheads %26amp; occasional bad zits?
    warm soapy water and clean washcloth, followed by warm water rinse with a different clean wash cloth. wash hands often during the day and most importantly, keep hands off face: the biggest cause of facial skin issues is unclean hands on the face (followed by unclean hair in face)
    Get 10% (or 5% if you have sensitive skin) Benzoyl Peroxide. It dries out those zits and zaps them away! I've used it for a DAY, and it's already better.

    I am 13 and i havent started my period. I already have pimples and blackheads pretty bad. Is it hormones????

    What should i do?I am 13 and i havent started my period. I already have pimples and blackheads pretty bad. Is it hormones????
    I'm 16 and I haven't started mine yet...I am 13 and i havent started my period. I already have pimples and blackheads pretty bad. Is it hormones????
    just wait ull get it soon some people are get it early and sum get it late like my mom she got it when she was 15 and i got mine when i was 12 and yes it is hormones





    oh and once you get it you wish you have never started i don't know what all the fuss is about with like 11 or 12 year old saying oh i wish i had my period
    I'm 20, and I still am a pre-pubescent
    Acne is cause by numerous thing
    it doesnot mean. and its not hormones. we call it acne.u can use proactive solution to cure it. for more information check www.proactive.com
    the pimples and blackheads are totally different they are just clogged pores, get yourself a good cleaning solution and astringent and wash your face well. i have heard 'proactiv' is great and there is a generic product at walmart and most other stores that says its the same only cheaper. as for your period some girls don't start until they are 18 but most start around 13-15 so don't worry unless you are having some pain or something. ask your mom or doctor if you're really worried. otherwise you sound like a normal, growing 13 yr. old....don't worry all the woman stuff will hit you before you know it !
    i am 11 and i haven't eitheir,i would just wait like i am!and i have pimples to!
    Puberty has kicked in girl!


    But, puberty means, pubic hair, acne, growth spurts, getting a more feminine shape and yes your period.


    What comes when is based on genes, and sometimes patience.


    So, just wait


    Its completely normal to not have yours yet.


    It will probably come in the next three years.
    Your still in the normal range for not getting a period. Just have patience and for the next 40 years you'll be happy.
    You're lucky like me. Only I'm 11. I've heared that it hurts and that it's a pain in the butt. If you don't get it by the age of 16 tell your doctor because it coul'd be a serious problem. But other than that you're okay. Even If you want to get it over with you just have to wait. So just hang in there. I also heard that if you are skinny if might come later. You might find white stuff in your underwhere before you get it.
    thats normal.... you can start from 11 up to 16 or 18 its not unusual. be happy with who you are, when the time comes it comes... starting your period actually isnt all that great. dont worry you'll start eventually and pimples could just mean your face isnt clean.





    well i hope i helped a little bit!
    its just the part of life
    could be that you are just not washing your face properly or enough (DON'T use a washcloth on face and wash twice a day)... could be a medical condition (like polycystic ovarian disorder) that people usually don't look for in females until they are older... it could just be that you are a late bloomer... don't worry too much about the period thing... just worry about taking care of your face, and DON'T pick at your blemishes... trust me, if i had listened when my mother said that, i wouldn't have all the scars on my face that i do... good luck

    I have extremely bad acne and blackheads. Help?!?

    In the past year my acne has been getting worse and worse. Is there any way to clean them up. I have used all different kinds of cleansers and scrubs. But nothing helps. PLEASE HELP!I have extremely bad acne and blackheads. Help?!?
    Well the problem with most clensers is that most people don't know how to use them; the clensers do work. What you have got to do is wet your face, put a small amount of the cleanser cream in your hands, add a bit of water to that, and then gentley apply to face, so that your face is covered in a delicate thin film. Your face should look slightly shiny at this point. Then you must completley wash the cleasner away with about 5 splashes of water - to make sure that the pores are not blocked. Then you must dry your face with a towel, but pat the face, don't rub it. Rubbing it will clog pores, and leave your face red.





    Do this twice a day. Keep the timing consistent. I advise you to do at as soon as you wake up, and an hour before you go to bed.





    After you wash with the cleaser, follow it up with an acid, I find that azelaic acid (15%)is the best for this. You can get this from your local pharmacist, although you may need a prescription from your doctor.





    Hope this helps!I have extremely bad acne and blackheads. Help?!?
    go to the dermatologist


    honestly, that's your best cure.
    i swear the only thing that worked for me was Dial Soap the gold bar its antibacterial
    go to doctor ...she will give you anti biotic tratment


    in parlour you can go for face cleaning along with ozone treatment for pimples.
    use the acnefree severe acne kit....i've been using it for almost 2 weeks and my skin is getting better and better. i used proactiv before (which didn't do anything) but this works soo much better AND is cheaper. the only con is that it dries out your skin a bit since it's drying up all the acne. i don't use the 4th step though..that just makes my skin greasy.
    This is what I suggest:





    Mix baking soda and witch hazel/or water together until it comes to a good constancy, and then spread on your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. these two things are very inexpensive and it's very easy to do since there is only two ingredients.





    Toothpaste is good for drying out your pimple (for some people). Put only a little bit before you go to sleep. Some people use this as a mask but DON鈥楾 EVER DO THIS! It can change your skin tone and make your face discolored.





    Aloe vera helps scars lighten and less noticeable (lemon, cocoa butter, witch hazel, and tea tree oil do the same thing). Use the gel (of the aloe plant) or the real thing.





    Try to buy a cleanser that works for you, and when you wash your face, open your pores with hot water (not too hot, or it will dry out your skin) and massage it gently into your skin. Then, use cold water at the end to close you pores. The smaller your pores are, the less likely you're prone to pimples. Clearasil, Neutrogena, and proactive are good choices to start if you want a cleanser. Don't use body soaps because they dry out your skin. Don't scrub too hard either, because it can irritate your skin.





    An egg yoke can be used to make you pores smaller. I used this when I had pimples. Just take the egg yolk (the yellow part) and leave it on your face for 10-15 minutes and rinse off with warm water and then splash your face with cold water.





    Keep your hair out of your face because the oils in your hair could go into your pores. Change you sheets because they're are trapped with dirt, oils, etc.





    Zinc (type of vitamin) is the one of the best things you can use to get rid of pimples. You can buy these almost about any large store (such as Wal-Mart or Shaws.) Have one tablet per day and try to cut down the junk food and replace it with vegetables and fruits. Drink lots of water and don't pop you acne. Popping acne can lead to acne scars.





    If you have sensitive skin, don't use make up. Some of the things in make up can clog your pores and cause pimples. Keep your hands out of your face as much as you can because you hands are full of bacteria and oils.

    BAD ACNE.. blackheads HELP QUICK?
    Acne is caused by increased hormone levels. You should talk to your doctor about possibilities for other treatments if what you are using isn't working. Beware of using any products for acne unless they have been prescribed or recommended by your doctor. Often both topical and oral antibiotics are needed to treat acne, and sometimes topical benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid and/or retinoids.





    People make all kinds of suggestions about the best thing to do to cure acne. Some cures I’ve heard include putting oatmeal, honey, lemon juice, tea tree oil, cucumber, vinegar, milk of magnesia or toothpaste on your face. Practically every cosmetics company and company that makes personal care products makes something that is a “sure cure” for acne. If we think about this, and use some common sense, we have to come to the conclusion that there is no quick or easy cure for acne, because if there was it would be well known and doctors would be telling everyone about it.





    Numerous companies make a lot of money persuading people to buy products that at worst will make the acne worse, and at best may help some people a little. Often fewer products are better. People often make their acne much worse by using too many products. There really is no quick fix for acne. Don’t spend a lot of money on products just because their ads say that they will cure acne. Your doctor is the best person to ask for help, and he or she may recommend some prescription medication or non-prescription treatment that may be suitable for you..





    There are some very simple and basic things you can do that cost nothing. Keep your face or any other area affected by acne very clean. Any mild antibacterial soap will help with that. Rinse the area well to remove all soap residue. Drink plenty of water – it really does help to clear up acne. Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep. A healthy life style will make a difference. Try to reduce the stress in your life – stress contributes to acne, so also probably the more you worry about the acne and focus on it, the worse it will be.





    Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer.





    Here are a few informative links with additional ideas about preventing and treating acne.

    go 2 a dermotologist
    if you eat to much junk food you might want to cut back on it that causes really oily skin which causes acne
    use queen helene original mint julep masque. it contains sulfur so it dries up and gets rid of acne plus blackheads. and it is a well-loved, very popular mask that has been used for decades!





    buy it for $2-3 at target, walmart, walgreens, just about any drugstores. it is huge and will last u forever so u wont have to keep buying more and more.





    use the mask only 2-3 times a week and this should solve ur problem.





    hope this help and good luck! :]
    aw why not? proactive is amazing :) but theres this mask its called like queen helene mint and u can get it at most drugstores and u put it on ur acne before u go to sleep and let it dry and in the morning its A LOT smaller. also neutrogena rapid clear face wash is really good too.

    Can leaving blackheads be bad?

    i got a few blackheads on my nose, and they've been there for like months (maybe more than a year), should i do something about that or just leave them?? im only 15 btw :)





    oh and also what does IT LOOK LIKE when you have squeezed a blackhead out (on your nose)? thanks ^^Can leaving blackheads be bad?
    u can have ur choice either leaving the blackheads on ur nose or squeeze them out. i would prefer to squeeze them out, because they will ruin ur look.





    when u squeeze them out, like small white worms are coming out. but they r not worms, just the dirts that had been clogged in ur pores.





    after u squeeze them out, take care of ur skin by washing them with gd skin products.Can leaving blackheads be bad?
    My husband gets then some time he uses warm water on a cloth and a hair grip, pull it across the black head and wipe with cloth if that doesn't work try wet wipes in time the will disappear but it best to try and get out.

    1~wet your face





    2~apply normal face wash{be sure theres no beads or anything in it, like soap but made for your face (please dont use soap itl make it worse)} rub all over your face especially your nose.





    3~take a bath scrunchy, like a girl uses, and rub on your face all over, rub mostly on your nose though{note: it will make your nose red and a little raw for the first few days you use it}





    4~rinse, reapeat





    5~take an exfloiating scrub.{this time be sure there IS beads in it} rub all over your face, especially your nose. do not rinse, just let it dry and go to bed.

    Biore nose strips work well on my nose.


    I f you haven't already tried them, I suggest you do.


    After you use them put the nose strip under a bright light you can see all the **** it pulled off of your nose. It always amazes me.


    There is also an exfoliater by Biore I use that get rid of blackheads.


    Biore products work great.
    Make a face mask from mashed up avocados or mashed up bananas and a little honey from a jar, put on your face, and leave on for 10-12 mins. When you wash it off (it will come off easily) you will have smooth, clear skin and no blackheads.
    Try BIORE nose STRIPS...you wet your nose then sick on the nose strick, pat it down let it Dry 15 min and Quickly Rip off along with the 100's of mini blk head soldiers...IT WORKS ...get it at a local drug store./.
    buy some biore strips from a drugstore, its basically a sticky piece of paper that you put on your nose and then pull off, they work very well.
    mix water sugar and lime i never tried it but mi frends say it works
    steaming! Then exfoliate

    Well, I heard blackhead strips... but I heard they don't work really good and you have to do them over and over again. Or, there are some pads.

    Help with bad skin, blackheads, and breakouts?

    i have pretty bad skin and school starts in a week and a half wat are some cheap quick things to stop breakouts and/or blackheadsHelp with bad skin, blackheads, and breakouts?
    1. wash your face regularly (sp?)


    2. touching your face only adds oils, so... hands off!!


    3. any type of benzoilperoxide will dry the blackheads/whiteheads in a few days.


    4. after benzoilperoxide, you will probably need a face clenanser that will ride your skin of excess dirt and oils... makeup can add to breakouts too, so not to much.


    5. you can get a good cleanser from walgreens or any sort of pharmacy/drugstore place, and an inexpensive one will work just fine!!


    good luck!Help with bad skin, blackheads, and breakouts?
    I have combination skin, its sensitive and oily and I've been fighting those under the skin painful pimples for the last 3 years. The best thing I've found so far is Differin cream .3% from the dermatologist. Its the new and improved one and really works well. Also, using a toner at night after you wash your face helps get rid of any existing dirt you might have missed. Change your pillow case every other night (I flip it over the next night) and changing your bathroom towel helps too.
    Home remedies:





    Apple Zinger Facial Mask (Oily and Acne Prone Skin)


    Take 1 medium size apple, grated fine, 5 tbs. honey. Mix the grated apple and honey well. Smooth over skin and let sit for 15 minutes. Rinse off with cool water.





    Cool as a Cucumber Yogurt Facial (Normal/Oily Skin)


    1/2 cucumber


    1 Tbsp plain yogurt


    Puree cucumber in blender mix in yogurt, apply to face. Leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse well.





    Honey Mask (Oily/Blemished Skin)


    Massage a small amount of slightly heated honey onto skin and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to wash off all the honey with lukewarm water or the honey left will clog your pores, resulting in more acne. Wheat germ may be added for its abrasive action, protein and nutrients.





    Pineapple Olive Oil Mask


    In a blender, combine 4 large pineapple chunks or 1/2 cup canned, drained pineapple and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Blend until almost smooth. Apply mixture to face with fingertips and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse face with warm water and pat dry.





    Tomato Blemish Remedy


    1 tomato, ripe, chopped


    1 tsp. lemon juice


    1 T instant style oatmeal or old fashioned rolled oats


    Blend all ingredients until just combined, in a paste. Apply to blemished skin, making sure the mixture is thick enough to stay in place. Leave in place 10 minutes. Remove with damp washcloth, and rinse and tone.





    Honey Yogurt Exfoliating Facial Scrub


    Mix 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar with 陆 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of plain yogurt. Smooth the mixture over your face and leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse off using lukewarm water.





    Oatmeal Exfoliating Facial Scrub


    Mix one pack of instant oatmeal with water to create a paste. Once the paste is formed, dab the mixture onto your entire face. Let the mixture set for approximately 2 minutes and rinse off with cold water. According to experts oily skin should be treated with an oatmeal mask to get good results. Oatmeal when mashed not only acts as a great scrub but also effectively soaks away the excess oil from your face. The usage of oatmeal paste must be followed by a cold water rinse that helps in contracting the pores.





    Seawater


    Wash your face twice a day in warm, salty water. This helps leave your face clean and oil-free -- without employing any potentially irritating products or soaps.





    Toning: Egg Whites


    Using egg whites is the cheapest and easiest way to tone your skin at home. Simply separate a few raw egg whites into a bowl and apply directly on the facial skin after cleansing. Let the egg white dry for at least 15 minutes and rinse it off with lukewarm water for an instant glow. For acne, take one egg white and put it directly on top of the pimple for 20 minutes.





    Garlic


    Peel and mash eight cloves of fresh garlic. Apply to face avoiding the area around the eyes. Leave on for about 15 minutes. Wash off with a warm cloth.





    Toothpaste


    Put toothpaste on your pimples before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel.





    Baking Soda Solution


    You will need 1 tbsp. baking soda, 1 tbsp. water. Mix together ingredients and apply on face allowing it to sit for 15 minutes before rinsing it with warm water. Baking Soda is very cheap and one box will last you a very long time. You can also use baking soda as an exfoliator: be careful when applying it to your face, since it is a very effective scrub. Massage the baking soda into your skin for ten to fifteen seconds and rinse. Your face is now clear of the surface cells that will cause many acne spots.

    How can I remove blackheads from my nose? It's really bad it looks like a have a strawberry nose..any answers

    Save your money on creams and cleansers that can damage your skin. I can guarantee results by doing the following. I Noticed a few years back that I started to build up whatever it is builds up under your pores especially on your nose area. Out of coincidence I solved this problem. Let me elaborate how I got to it. I am a person that works out a lot so I am constantly exposed to certain elements that can make your skin a bit dirtier than others. In addition my diet is made up of a high percentage of protein which over time can clog your pores.on the long run) Don't get me wrong protein is good.


    In a process on training for a triathlon I considered using a steam room to toughen up my training. So guess what after only two 20 minute sessions inside the steam. Waalaa it was as if I had a nose job for real. During the 20 minutes inside the sauna I softly rubbed my nose a few times to scrub off the build up. Make sure you breath through your nose to open up your pores from the inside of your nose. If you are human you will see results. Not only will you loose weight but you will feel energized.


    If you can't get to a steam room buy yourself a facial steam machine and breath through your nose. But I do recommend the steam room. Use a moisturizer afterwardsHow can I remove blackheads from my nose? It's really bad it looks like a have a strawberry nose..any answers
    What I used to do %26amp; it don't give you a red nose like the strips when you rip them off. Is Hold a hot to very warm wash cloth on your nose for 5 min. Then use a finger nail to scrape off the easy black heads. Then for the tougher ones wipe them with a alcohol swab. Most house holds have these items %26amp; you don't have to go %26amp; buy a bunch of expensive stuff that you find out later doesn't work. Good LuckHow can I remove blackheads from my nose?

    i know me too!! i've don't everything to get rid of them and astringant makes it worse! please tell me if you get a good answer
    there are scrubbing cleaners that help clean out pores.
    just every day clean your face with soup and water
    pore strips, they really do work.
    I know what you mean. I have exactly the same problem. I tried everything. The only thing that worked for me is those little no pore nose pads. Avon makes them. So does a few other not very well known companies. They take out about 90% of the hair. It looks much better. The hair grows back in 10 days. That is the best thing I found. I'm sorry to say nothing removes 100%. Good luck!
    The blackheads are waxy. Try the biore strips, which really really work. Make sure you use warm water first to kind of open your pores then apply the strip to a damp nose, wait to dry, and be amazed at how gross your nose is! I use them all of the time.
    You're sick. Blackheads are nothing more than dirty pores. Wash your face!
    You'll never get rid of them completely. Trust me. No one is looking at them nearly as closely as you are. Stop obsessing.
    Use the biore black head strips. It's best to use them after a hot shower. The hot steam allows your pores to open and you skin get more elasticity. It makes the strips more effective.
    Use Biore pore strips

    How to get rid of EXTREMELY bad blackheads?

    HELP. Biore strips don't work for me. I use scrubs and wash my face daily and I've had them all my life, yet it seems like as I get older they get worse... Does anyone have any ideas other than squeeze them out? There are tons that reappear daily so it's kind of hard to keep up with squeezing them all out for hours per day. Not to mention some won't come out.How to get rid of EXTREMELY bad blackheads?
    You need to switch to a gentler routine. Your skin is really stressed. Stop using scrubs daily. Use once a week at most. Start using a cleanser for sensitive skin: Aveda All Sensitive is the best but Neutrogena gentle facial cleanser is good if you're on a budget. Use that in the AM and immediately before bed, then splash with cold water a few times and moisturize. Aveda has an oil that contains a little salicilic acid-- use that every time you wash. It soothes a lot. Don't be afraid of moisturizing-- if your skin has moisture it will produce less sebum and you'll get fewer blackheads.





    Gentler, gentler, and the blackheads should minimize within a few months. You might never be completely free of them, but they should diminish a lot. Avoid using many products on the blackhead areas including makeup and acne medications.





    Also, if you scrub once a week, steam your skin for a few minutes first and a lot of the blackheads will wash away.How to get rid of EXTREMELY bad blackheads?

    Witch hazel...its organic and an old remidy that worked for my cousinI have zits and blackheads bad i have tried EVRYTHING tell me what has worked for you thanks!?
    You can try proactiv or what you can do is buy a system.


    that contains a wash, clarifier, and toner and do the system every morning and night i used the clinque brand its good for young woman and it worked great i used it for 6 months then stopped and i still dont get break outs and that was over 2 yrs agoI have zits and blackheads bad i have tried EVRYTHING tell me what has worked for you thanks!?
    My son had the same problem and we tried everything. Things from the store and prescriptions from the doctors. Then I bought him pro activ... it worked. finally. You should try the sample kit if you havent. I swear it works.
    Microdermabrasion works well with things like acne treatment facels.
    i had bad acne for a while. i tried some creams, antibiotics, stuff like that but what worked best fro me i will list to you bellow


    -not picking


    -being outside (especially the beach)


    -exercise


    -cutting back on sugary or fatty foods (candy is a killer)


    -using soaps like dove or olay, the harsher stuff gets you 'cleaner' but it dries you out like crazy and thus cause acne
    70% rubbing alcohol and a wash cloth. It'll burn but it'll clean the blackheads out at least even if it does nothing to the zits which are a type of surface skin ';infection';.





    My college graduate nutritionist sister says that cutting back on fatty and or surgery foods should help because in order to have clear skin it needs proper nutrition. So eat more fruits and vegetables, and if possible exterminate fast food from your diet to increase you over all health for your entire body.
    clean and clear advantage


    the stuff is amazing

    What products should I use for bad blackheads & occasional bad zits?

    I have, of course, heard of tons of products to help acne, blackheads, pimple, etc., BUT considering I don't have the money to go buy a at-home spa I'm not sure what to use or do.


    I don't have bad acne (thank goodness, but I get bad pimples in my hairline, and occasionally on my nose.


    My worst problem is my blackheads which accumulate on the side of my nose, are super hard to get off...


    Anyway, I am about to start the Clean %26amp; Clear ADVANTAGE deal with all the bangs and whistles, but before I do, anyone have a better suggestion?What products should I use for bad blackheads %26amp; occasional bad zits?
    I use the Oil Free Acne Cleanser with Microclear Technology by Neutrogena. It's in an Orange bottle. Make sure it says ';With Microclear Technology'; on it. It's somewhere between 7 - 9$ at Target. And always moisturize your skin if it feels tight. I use the Soft Day Moisturizer with SPF 15 by Clean and Clear. It's, also, somewhere between 7 - 9$ at Target. Cleanse your face twice a day, once when you wake up and once before you go to bed.





    Or, for blackheads, you could go with the really crazy option, Elmer's Glue! Use Elmer's glue on your face to get rid of blackheads. Simply apply the glue to your face and peel off when dry.





    Also, for your hairline, powder Your roots.If your hairline starts to look greasy, dig up a big, fluffy makeup brush, and dip it into a pot of loose powder. Tap it once on the back of your hand to remove the excess, and then dust it over your roots. It mops up oil and blends into your strands.











    What products should I use for bad blackheads %26amp; occasional bad zits?
    warm soapy water and clean washcloth, followed by warm water rinse with a different clean wash cloth. wash hands often during the day and most importantly, keep hands off face: the biggest cause of facial skin issues is unclean hands on the face (followed by unclean hair in face)
    Get 10% (or 5% if you have sensitive skin) Benzoyl Peroxide. It dries out those zits and zaps them away! I've used it for a DAY, and it's already better.

  • My sister has really bad blackheads. How can she get rid of them?

    My sis has really bad blackheads on the side of her nose. Her nose is kind of flat, so oil and dirt gets trapped really easily on the sides of her nose. The blackheads are really noticeable, but only if you bend her nose. The rest of her face is clear. We have tried the Biore Face Strips, but they don't work for the blackheads. Is there any affordable(i'm talking, not a salon) way to get rid of these little pesks?? Also she says the sides of her nose(the blackheads) make it sensative if you rub it/touch it.My sister has really bad blackheads. How can she get rid of them?
    use something to exfoliate the area and then try the biore if you still have some. if not get q tips and squeeze them out. this keeps you from infecting the area w/ the bacteria on your hand, even if you just wash them there is still some there. it may hurt to squeeze them out... definately exfoliate and then get a hot towel and place it over the nose to open the pores before you squeez.My sister has really bad blackheads. How can she get rid of them?
    Try going to a beauty supply store or Ulta and asking them for a cleanser that would help with the oily build up. You can buy stuff to do facials at home that would help, including the little tool the salon would use to clean up the blackheads. Local beauty colleges offer very affordable facials as well. Much cheaper then a salon.
    I have the same kind of nose and I have the same problem.





    This might sound weird, but it REALLY helps. At the grocery store, they sell something called whipped honey. At night, spread some on your nose and leave it for the whole night. (Try to sleep on your back. Whipped honey is very sticky.) When you wake up, wash it off. Your blackheads should be clear.





    Also, once every three days, use a facial scub to exfoliate your skin.





    Hope I helped!






    I have the same problem but they're all over my nose! I hate them - they make me feel so self conscious. I don't have enough to buy really expensive products, and I always feel people are looking at them. I don't have any treatments or anything, I normally squeeze them (gross and bad thing to do). Sorry this was a pointless answer.
    a simple way is. Use really hot water and wash your face your pores will open up. then wash your face witha scrub or a normal face wash then use cold water to close them up. do that everyday but use a gental face ash from then on becuase its bad to use a scrub everyday.
    tell her to call her nearest collage for an appointment with a beauty therapist,who will treat and get rid for a very cheap price,she can go every week if need be,and be told exactly whats best products for her skins needs. lol good luck
    use a acne solution I had them too used this stuff my mom suggested and it dried them up eventually they ceased to be a problem after one night because they get dry and pop
    lemon juice and ice cubes use them till ther gone and keep using the ice cubes to keep the pores closed
    try a scrub that is made specifically for blackheads like clean and clear. i hear that works. also try exfoliating.
    Proactive works very well.

    Really REALLY bad blackheads on nose and cheeks?

    I have these awful, dark blackheads all over my nose and the upper parts of my cheeks. They make my pores look huge and I am very self conscious of them. I feel like people can see them even when they stand far from me. I've tried everything: pore strips, scrubs, cleansers, masks, astringents, everything that has ';promised'; to get rid of my blackheads. And no matter how many time I squeeze them out, they are never fully gone and always come back in the same spot! Also, the products I've used are evil to my sensitive skin and leave my nose dry and the skin peels so much!





    Has there been anything that has worked for you?Really REALLY bad blackheads on nose and cheeks?
    First are you touching your face alot?


    Are you wearing glasses. I have to clean my glasses of oil many times a day, if I am not wearing my contact lenses, including sunglasses.


    For that reason, don't get prescription plastic lenses, excessive cleaning will scratch the lenses.





    Try face cleaners with salicylic acid.


    I would try those strips, and use a mud mask 3 times a week for you.


    Go to a dermatologist.


    I have noticed alot of black heads on my ear lobes. I squeeze them, but there is alot, weird. So I started cleaning ear lobes with face alot more. I clean my face 2-3 times a day since oily.


    So are you cleaning right, not missing the areas.


    I think the black is some skin coloring melanomin


    agent added to pore serum, so technically just like any other pore.


    BEST------


    Try foundation to cover !!!!! This may keep daily pollutant's out of pores and give you a more fighting chance also. Use face poweder on top of that, so oil that seeps though foundation doesn't attract dirt into pores. I used to use rice powder papers to wipe oil that seeped thru foundation off. But a tissue or toilet paper works, dab, don't rub.





    I now use Lancome, they have some foundations for oily skin. I prefer the foundations in a pump, so I get for older skin, oil and dry skin combo control I think, because I want the pump. I don't want to pollute the foundation with fingertips, during application. On budget, until I buy another, I have Victoria Secret foundation 1/3 the price in the pump bottle now.


    I also used to use an astrigent from drug store, such as Neutregena, and apply probably 4-5 times a day.


    I also use straight alcohol on cotton pad if budget is low, or I am really broken out. I think it will kill bacteria causing break out. Any dermatological product I ever bought was mainly alcohol, plus


    anti-biotic.Really REALLY bad blackheads on nose and cheeks?
    AHAs


    Use creams containing AHA's (Alpha Hydroxyl Fruit acids) like glyco-creams that will clear away any dead skin cells and ';expose'; the blackhead. Use the AHA's every 3 days or so.











    Lime Juice


    Make a lotion with equal parts of lime juice, almond oil and glycerin and apply on the face. It will not only cure blackheads but the discoloring spots on the face too.











    Honey


    Warm a little honey and apply on the trouble area.


    Wash off after 10-15 minutes.











    Egg White


    Beat an egg white.


    Add 1 tsp honey.


    With a cotton swab apply on the face and leave for half an hour.


    Rinse with warm water and pat it dry.


    Rub cooking oil on your face and take a cloth and rub it off.











    Olive or almond oil


    Rinse your face with warm water to open your pores.


    Generously saturate a section of washcloth with olive or almond oil.


    Place a dab of toothpaste (not the gel kind) on the oily washcloth.


    Gently and thoroughly rub the toothpaste over your nose with the oily cloth. Do it twice if you have a lot of blackheads.


    Massage it into your whole face if you like. Add more oil or toothpaste as necessary.


    Wait about 5 minutes, then rinse your face thoroughly with hot water and a clean washcloth.











    Steam and moisturizer


    Put a hot towel over your face for 10 minutes.


    If you let it sit then the black heads can come to the surface.


    Wash with warm water and soap.


    Close pores with cold water and apply oil-free moisturizer.


    Then rub alcohol on it for five minutes











    [edit] TipsAvoid washing the face with soaps more than twice a day. Instead wash your face often with plain water splashes.


    Keep your hair away from your face. Greasy hair and skin don't go together, and hair can spread infection.


    Sunshine or ultra-violet light encourages skin peeling, and so helps to clear blocked pores. For this reason, sunbathing or use of sun-beds in moderation can be helpful. (Please note that continuous peeling has been linked to skin cancer.)


    Always use oil-free mosturizer because you don't want to clog your pores even more.











    good luck:)

    Really really bad blackheads =(?

    Ok, here's the deal. I have A LOT of blackheads. I'm not talking your average ';omg I have clear skin but now I have two spots on my nose'; type of blackheads, I'm talking stupid clogged pores all over my face. If they were tiny I wouldnt worry and usually I'm content to cover them up with makeup, but they just won't go away and no matter what I try they just keep getting worse! Its really starting to take a toll on my self esteem, I don't want to turn up to school or work because I feel like everyone is staring at my face and all its gross pores.. I don't even want to try and pursue the guy I like because I feel so ugly all the time and I don't know what to do about it!!!! I would have beautiful skin if I didnt have blackheads.. break outs I can control but the blackheads are insane.





    Don't suggest the following because I've tried it and it hasn't worked:


    - Proactive


    - Neutrogena


    - Steaming my face over a bowl of hot water then exfoliating


    - General exfoliation


    - Face masks (although clay masks do seem to help my skin a little)


    - Anything with benzol peroxide in it


    - Going to the doctor for something to fix it


    - Drinking lots of water (makes no difference, maybe my face is a tad less oily but the blackheads just keep on coming)


    - Pore strips


    - Gently squeezing them out


    - Blackhead extractors





    So basically if you have ever had millions of blackheads and managed to get rid of most if not all of them, please let me know how you did it, I've hit a wall. =(





    I've you've only had them on your nose or a few on your forehead, don't even reply, you're just wasting my time complaining about a problem you never had.





    Thanks in advance





    Ps I KNOW this is a hormonal thing but I'm nearing the end of all of that, my skin should be starting to get better at my age, not worse!Really really bad blackheads =(?

    and no, it was noty listed in your list!


    Thanks to this blog, it helped me a lot to find the best method.


    Hope this helpsReally really bad blackheads =(?
    Ok , you should see an aesthetician for some face therapy.





    That will do..
    use proxide then pop them

    Is it bad to squeeze out blackheads?

    I've found that it's not very effective. Try this. Mis 1 tsp unflavored gelatin (Knox brand) and 1 1/2 tsp milk. Heat 10 seconds in the microwave. Use your finger to paint this mixture on your nose or wherever. Let it harden 15 minutes, then peel off. It will take blackheads with it.Is it bad to squeeze out blackheads?
    yes the can spread more.Is it bad to squeeze out blackheads?
    Yes.
    Yes. You should avoid touching your skin with your hands at all time. You have a greater possibility of transmitting bacteria to other areas and a very high chance of causing skin damage by squeezing. The black you see in a blackhead is caused by skin pigment, not ';dirt'; so squeezing it out will not have the effect you are looking for.
    yeah...
    yes........it will only make them look worse
    Not if you do it as soon as you come out of the shower. (When your pores are already open)
    Yes it is bad,but if you do pop'em when you get right out of the shower and still wet. (washing your face doesn't work).





    Hope that helps!
