I love the purifying mask from o c bigelow, then I use the o c bigelow cucumber skin tonic, I spray it on instead of wiping it on, o c bigelow also has a great honey almond face scrub, and here is a link for a tool that I have that really gets the blackheads out. Steaming is good too use a mini crock pot to get the water hot enough, and Swiss Kriss herbs from the health food store, put the swiss kriss herbs in the pot with water in the sink with a towel over your head and blow on the hot water to make the steam come up.

Blackhead removal \nNo hype info on blackhead removal\n\nBlackhead removal is big money to the many companies that sell products claiming to be able to remove all blackheads without scarring or injury. But do any of them do what they claim? And if so, which ones are the best?\n\nWell, there are several effective techniques for effective blackhead removal, and they can be grouped into 2 groups: tools, and standard acne treatments.\n\nA Blackhead removal tool is a long, thin metal instrument, made from stainless steel that will provide a scar-free alternative to pinching and picking. \n\nThis is a picture of the tool:\n\n\n\nOne big loop on one end, and a smaller loop on the other end. To remove a blackhead, simply place one of the loops against your skin, so the blackhead is in the middle of the loop.\n\nThen press downward gently, and the blackhead will come out. \n\nThis is the type of tool that Dermatologists and health spas use, and it is one of the best to remove black heads. Keep in mind this is blackhead treatment, not blackhead prevention, however, and if your skin is very sensitive, this could cause some irritation. \n\nAnother tool for blackhead removal are blackhead removal strips. Made by Ponds, the idea behind the clear pore strips is that they attach to dead skin and blackheads, and pull them out of the pores without any damage to the skin.\n\n\n\nThese can be good for sensitive skin, but there are many mixed reactions. Most people find that they work well, some people find they work fantastic. Others report that they had no benefit at all. Ponds clear pore strips are worth trying, but keep in mind they do not work for all people.\n\nAnd of course, there are other ways to remove blackheads. Most people are able to use one of these methods to reduce or eliminate blackheads. \n\nThe Blackhead Remover Gun For Safe Acne Removal!\nGuaranteed blackhead removal has never been safer or easier!

The blackhead remover gun sucks the blackhead right out of the skin, with a powerful yet gentle vacuum suction removal action.\n\n \n\nMetal Blackhead Tool Removers Can Cause Scarring and Bleeding:\nBlackhead removal using other blackhead tool products available can cause terrible scarring and bleeding, as they poke and probe at the skin.

umm...well it depends on your skin type. but let's see. generally...\n\nfor small little pimples: you can try using the clean and clear acne treatment but if you have aggressive pimples, i.e. white heads or just big red ones, it wont work very well on those. works well for small pimples during the day because it has a clear solution\n\nfor blackheads: try "neutrogena blackhead eliminating treament mask". use at night. \n\nfor white heads/big red ones: try the "proactiv advanced blemish treament". it has benzoyl peroxide which helps to dry up the pimple. or any product with benzoyl peroxide will help but it should be high percent in it. use at night.\n\nor try  "neutrogena healthy skin anti-wrinkle anti-blemish cream" which gives you salicylic acid which also fights the pimples. use this during the day. \n\nphew. it takes alot of research to get rid of pimples! but we ALL have them. sucks.\n\nhope you get rid of those suckers!

Spend a bit of time out in the sunshine.  It will dry the skin, and lessen the oils.  Also,  keep face clean, and use Hydrogen Peroxide after, on a bit of cotton and pat on face.  Heals infection in the acne, and helps to dry it up.\n\nDon't touch face except for to clean.  Make sure you don't get hair care products on face.  Hair sprays and gels can clog pores. Conditioners can get in pores and harden.  \n\nTie up bangs in hot weather.  The bangs left down can make you sweat more, and presses sebum mixed with sweat into your pores.  Ever notice you have more acne near your forehead?  Sounds crazy but give it a try.\n\nKeeping face clean, helps your pores out alot.  Dirt gets trapped in the pores, that mixes with the sebum, hardens and causes the blackheads.  Clean face as soon as you notice it is getting oily.\n\nDrink 8 or more glasses water daily,  helps the skin flush out wastes, and gives your skin a nice glow.

If you have a problem with blackheads and whiteheads, you should not try to remove them yourself. There is a possibility that you will push them down and create an infection. If at all possible, you should get extractions done by a professional known as an aesthetician. \nIf you can't see someone and want to do it at home, take a hot shower. Once the skin softens, take two Q-tips and work the area that has the problem. If you can feel a hard knot, then there is a bulb you need to get out of the skin.\nDo not use your fingernails or you could cause an infection. Also, always cleanse your hands before moving on to another area.\nYou also need to get a routine of washing your face, toning and then moisterizing in the mornings and at night. Hope this helps!

Try the Jan Brady approach- rub on some lemon juice! \n\nI don't think that it is possible to remove them on your own.  Maybe speak with a dermatologist about it.

Blackheads are clogged pores and usually they are black because of some kind of impurity. I would tell you to wash your face twice a day with witch hazel. 2-4 bucks at the dollar store and drink lots and lots of water. Wash your hands often, with lots of soap to prevent spreading bacteria and do not touch your face unless your hands are very clean. Change your pillow case often, it can spread bacteria from night to night. Witch hazel is cheap, a natural astringent and a PH balancer so, use it everyday and stop eating greasy junk food. Water, water, water.

For an acne medication, Proactiv is the best out there. For just a few blackheads, you can go to a local spa or beauty clinic and have a facial that normally costs under $50 CAN, usually around $25. they can extract the blackheads for you!\n\nBut picking at them and constantly using over the counter medications will only irritate your skin. just wash your face with a mild cleanser, first with hot water to open the pores, then rinse with cold to close them. steaming your face may also help open the pores, but make sure after you're done, you rinse your face with cold water to protect your skin.
