To tell you the truth NO type of pore strip is going to help with blackheads...I have tried them all. I would really strongly recommend St. Ives Apricot Scrub for Normal skin...within a week you will notice much healthier skin and a lot less blackheads.

Many people believe that in order to prevent or reduce pimples, you need to cut down on the amount of oil that accumulates on your skin. What they don't realize is that pimples develop from the formation of blackheads and whiteheads.\n\nThese blackheads and whiteheads develop from what is inside of your body, and not from what is on the outside of your skin. So in order to get rid of the pimples, you have to be able to control what you put into your body.\n\nUntil you are able to do this, you will not be able to permanently get rid of your pimples.

Try dabbing a little tooth paste on it before you go to bed. Let it stay on over night and wash your face like normal in the morning. Keep doing this until it's gone.

blackheads only go away if you squeeze em out.  then after you squeeze em all out use the stridex or oxy type cleansing pads.  then apply the benzoyl cream.  use face powder.

At most pharmacies you can find an item called a nasal pot.  Some refer to it as a Netty Pot.  You fill it with warm salty water and it flushes out the stuff clogging your nose.  I am an opera singer and depend on having my nasal passages clear.  This is the best.  Better than nasal spray and not addicting at all.\n\nGood luck!

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.

NO NO NO. No scrubbing. That just moves the bacteria around the whole face and that's all you need. The face should be patted each night with a washcloth and hor saltwater to draw out the impurities. You can just lie it on your face and leave it for a minute or two. Then buy some witch hazel at the dollar stopre or wal mart for 3-4 bucks and some cotton balls. Take one ball to each pimple and put witch hazel on the cotton and use it once on one pimple t clean and get it in there pretty good. After doing your face let it dry. This is a natural astringent that also Ph balances the skin and does not burn. Then at night put a dab of antibiotic ointment on each pimpole. Do not touch but one, use a few Q-tips for this and throw them away. This should start to clear your face in a week, then as it clears you can start leaving off the ointment and just use the witch hazel. Then when it clears always use the witch hazel every day and when you gat a pimple go to that method for that breakout. Always dab the face, don't scrub and spread any bacteria around. Ok? good luck.

Scrub your face with Clearsil and wash your face twice a day with Noxema.  That really helped me and in about two weeks, I noticed a BIG BIG difference.  You have to use them consistently.  See if that helps you.

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

Leave them alone. Black heads are a fact of life for some people. She can try using a cleansing scrubber such as Buf-Puf to minimize them. Pinching, popping, etc is only going to make her pores seem larger and damage her skin. If you ABSOLUTELY have to pop, get an appropriate tool from the pharmacy. Digging into the skin with nails is going to create sores and scars. Overwashing and using harsh cleansers are going to dry her skin out, creating an overproduction of oil, which will exacorbate the blackhead problem. Blackheads are dried sebum, the oil your skin naturally produces.

if they are solid white heads then biore pore strips work well. if they are fluid filled, try using a rough grained exfoliant followed with an astringent then a soothing facial lotion like an after shaving balm.

Try to use an exfoliating face wash. Use warm water to do that however to close your pores use cold water to rinse your face .

Sounds like a 'blackhead' but under the skin, gets a little infected and swells up.\n\nNo matter how clean you are, that is a place that gets sweaty.\n\nPop them and clean them.\n\nIf it falls off, see a doc.

Wash your face with a product that doesn't have soap as it usually irritates your skin. I often read here that you should wash your face more than twice a day, but doesn't this irritate your skin?\n\nAnyway. To remove blackheads (I'm too lazy to do it but my sister does it and it really works): \n1/ clean your face. \n2/ do a peeling. \n3/ Then, put your face above a saucepan full of hot water (you're supposed to put some herbs in the water that helps your pores to open but I can't remember which ones. But I'm sure it works without them). Stay like this for about 10 min. with a towel covering your head (so that vapour doesn't get out). Then, with a tissue, press the blackheads out - make sure you have clean hands even if you use a tissue. Change your tissue regularly. It's better to do it in front of a magnifying mirror, or at least, a lot of light. \n4/ Then do a mask (if you do a mud mask, do a hydrating mask afterwards cos if you have oily skin, your skin will be even more oily afterwards - because your skin was too dry, your face produces even more oil to compensate).\n5/ Apply cream\n\nDo it about once a month, and do the peeling and mask twice or once a week (change the type of mask you use if you do it twice a week: like mud and hydrating once, and another time, I don't know, something else)\n\nHowever, if you have too much acne, peelings are not really good cos it can lake things worse.

I had really bad skin when I was growing up. My face would be covered in blackheads and I have really big pores so I was always squeezing the heck out of my face and that was just making them worse because like you said they would all be back the next day. So my suggestion to you would be to steam your face every night before you go to bed to open up all of the pores and while your face is still warm you need to get a cucumber face mask and put it on your face for about 20 minutes. After you peel it off put Vaseline on your face and leave it on overnight. I don't know why but for some reason this keeps your pores clean. Hope that this helps you out\nCheers

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.
