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.

Blackheads consist of skin oil (called sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria that are clogged in a hair follicle.\n\nBlackheads are rare on legs, and more common on face and neck and other parts of the body. I recommend washing regularly and exfoliating to remove dead and dry skin. Use lotions to repair damaged skin and stay away from treatments with too much alcohol. Despite what people say, they may 'dry up' pimples quickly, but will also entirely dry your skin.

Exfoliate and apply moisturiser, preferably with a sunscreen.  Also, drink the daily recommended amount of water.

I would like to try Proactive also. For now I wash my face and then I use peroxide on a cottonball to apply to my face where the blackheads and pimples are. It seems to be working well after 4 days. My pores are also shrinking finally. If you start to dry out, use a light moisturizer. I use the peroxide twice a day unless I get too dry, then it's once per day.

Use a good facial scrub, then rinse with very cold water, then use a toner.  Hot water opens the pores, cold closes them.

Treat it the same as you would acne on the face.\nLike the face, if you scrub too hard it can remove all good oils and change the skin pH, so the body creates more to replace what you removed.\nJust cleanse with a mild cleanser or gel, then use a toner for acne (w/salicylic acid) over the acne area.  \nAlso, use a cleansing/exfoliating mask once a week.  (a wash off mask, rather than a peel-off!)

try applying curd on your face and leave it to dry.. rinse it with water after 15 minutes.. this should keep ur skin glowing and take off the unwanted chemicals.. moreover, u need to drink plenty of water to avoid the oily excretions from ur skin.. avoid all the cosmetic creams since they only add to the problem.. let me know if this works..

Soap\n\nDrink plenty of water. (so your pores don't dry up)\n\nWash your bed sheets no less than once a week. (so that gunk doesn't get on your face)

Pores: There is a mask out there called St Helens or Queen Helenes Mint Julip Mask. You can find it at Family Dollar stores for like $3. It works awesome for shrinking pores. They used to have it at WalMart, too, but I haven't seen it in a while.\n\nFacial Hair: use a facial hair removing lotion like Nair, (make sure you get the one for faces!) That way you don't get bumps or burns from a razor.

Wash your face thoroughly (until it feels tight and squeaky clean) with plain soap and water as hot as you can tolerate.\nDo this twice a day. Pay especial attention to greasy sections of your face and rinse with clean water.\nYou do not need all those fancy preparations. They just add to the layers of guck in your skin.\nUse a mild abrasive, e.g. one of those cheap oblong rubbery sponges that come ten to a pack. This will also give you a good lather from the soap.\n\nNow, once you do this, you're likely to notice an increase in pimples. This is because you have cleared away skin guck to allow all the stuff underneath to escape. Don't worry - stick with it, it will be worth it.\n\nWhen you get to the point that you don't have pimples any more, keep with the soap and water; it will keep the skin clean and prevent it clogging up again.\n\nLastly, if you have blackheads (common with acne, but not the same thing) buy a blackhead expresser to remove them. These are badly clogged pores and will turn septic if not cleared out.

Reduce the amount of oily foods you eat.\nCleanse your face at least twice daily.\nUse a mild astringent <I like to mix mentholated rubbing alcohol with witch hazel in equal parts> after each cleansing.\nMoisturize after doing the above.  <I like Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Hair and body moisturizer>  The tea tree oil helps control any infections that might get into the pores.\nIf that doesn't work, try proactive.  i hear it does wonders on really bad skin.
