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





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





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

If blackheads look ready to pop out, you could try removing them gently by using a blackhead extractor.

=)What can you do to get rid of blackheads?
start to use a blackhead clearing cleanser %26amp; toner (like clean %26amp; clear)


invest in some blackhead clearing strips for your nose, follow instructions very carefully because if you don't do it properly it won't work.use these as often as the packet says


if you wish to squeeze you can, use a tissue and make sure you wash your face afterwards


try an oil free moisturiser to hydrate the skin without making the problem worse.


make-up can clog pores so it'd be best to cut back on foundation for now


use a mud-mask weekly to clear oil and remember to exfoliate regularly
Tell them you want blonde friends only! lol...sorry couldn't resist.





Well, just try to wash with cold water. I've heard that some ways of washing can be too much.
~squeeze~,then sqeeze again~
if you have blackheads that means your skin is oily, so use proactiv it works but also use the proactiv daily oil control, it will helps to control the excess of oil and controlling the oil we help to prevent blackheads, because blackheads are formed when the oil clogs the pores. also use their oil free moisture with SPF 15. use the treatment twice a day every day, and it will work for you.


GOOD LUCK!!!
first you buy a face steamer and put your face on it for 10 min so your pore will open for easy squeeze. Then you exfoliate once or twice a week to prevent the blackhead. Wash your face two times a day and follow by a toner.
I have them on my nose too and i find bye bye blemish works(peeling gel/cream)
first you have to get rid of them, i squeeze mine out, then I wipe downthe area with rubbing alcohol to sterilize the area and I wipe with rubbing alcohol twice a day to keep down the bacteria and clean off any oils that accumulate on my trouble areas. works for me. that proactiv stuff only works because it has alcohol in it anyway, so you might as well use the cheaper isopropyl rubbing alcohol.





PS .... makeup clogs your pores and causes blackheads. don't wear heavy makeup.
wash your face more often use a face scrubbing pad with a medicated facial cleanser
Cleanse your face with unboiled milk, gently rub a coarse cloth dipped in milk to remove the blackheads. Steam your face with herbs like lavender, lemon peel and mint leaves added to the water and let the skin soak up its goodness.
