Blackheads...

[Hiro]

I only ever get them on my nose and it is really annoying...I've tried creams, face wash, exfoliating stuff (I even have gloves for it) and there is rarely any change...
Really frustrating now, any advice?

put some water in the kettle and the moment you open the lid let the steam hit the place you wanna heal, this worked for me(forehead).

I know you said you've tried face washes but I recommend this (http://www.superdrug.com/Face-Scrub/CLEAN+CLEAR-BLACKHEAD-SCRUB-150ML/invt/31178) one.

9/10 products i buy for skin/hair care are from http://www.mankind.co.uk, might be worth looking on for you also.

[Hiro]

Thanks guys. I'll have a look through stuff :)

[Arch]

when i squeeze them they come out right away and dont like any marks so maybe your doing it wrong or im just lucky

I use that too :P I would recommend it but you have to use it everyday otherwise it makes your skin worse.

you might think washing your skin will help but sometimes its the problem, make sure you're only using the facewash once or twice a day, exfoliating (after cleansing) shouldn't be done as much
that was my problem anyway, overwashing lol umm have you tried pore strips? they're good if you use them two or three times a week. also i second the steam - you can just use hot water in the sink with a towel over your head aswell

Yeah I'm running out of it so I'm trying to make it last and I've been skipping days and it's gotten worse :(.

Steam is another good idea actually.

I think I used the pore strips once but they didn't work at all. Could've just been the ones I used though or maybe I wasn't using them right.

neturogena is supposed to have very good products for blackheads never use cheap supermarket brand face washes they have more chemicals in them than a big mac meal

[dbgtz]

I too have this problem, I'll probably try pore strips & the steam, these cosmentic products I bought just made it worse.

[hah]

try use biore black head strips

[Hiro]

I went looking for pore strips a few hours ago. Couldn't find anything. I'll go into town or something during the week.

ty guys

Nose strips like 2-3 times a week.

Toothpaste i do every 3 days before i go to bed but dont sleep with it on otherwise you get toothpaste everywhere an you wake up with mint in your eye :P

I agree with the kettle thing, but for me I filled my sink up with completely boiling water, no cold water at all, and stuck my head over the sink and covered my head with a towel. I usually do this once or twice a week, even if I don't have blackheads, because it cleans out your pores.
You know if the water's hot enough if you can feel the steam on your face and your face begins to feel almost sweaty from the rising heat after a few minutes.
After you've done the above, get your middle finger (so you don't apply too much pressure) and just rub up and down around the blackhead, this loosens it, and then it should hopefully come out, if not, don't keep prodding it as you'll make it red and sore, just keep trying it until it does come out.
And make sure you have clean fingers, :D
