Blackhead help

[Sub-Zero]

i posed this here because women are pretty and know alot about being pretty.


so my question is, i have blackehads on my nose and i cant get them out very easy...whats the best way to remove and controll blackheads

I use those peel N stick nose strips by Biore, they work better over the Ponds one IMO....they don't get out every single blackhead but they remove a lot and you need to use them 1x per week...

how much do the cost?

For OTC creams, you should look for something with BHA (salycilic acid), 1% or 2%

Or you can go to your doc and get a prescription for Differin.

now this I can answer for I am a paramedical skincare therapist -

the best thing to do abviously is get a facial - but if you insist on taking care of it yourself..... after you take a warm shower (in shower wash and exfoliate skin) pat your skin dry and wrap your index fingers with tissue - place fingers on pore like you were going to squeeze them out - but gently roll fingers in toward each other and they should pop out - if they don't come out with gentle pressure you need to see an esthetician - no need to go to a dermatologist or get on any prescriptions - proper skin care and cleansing products will keep your skin free and clear - most of us get blackheads and breakouts from not washing our faces right after a workout -
Pampers makes a baby wipe that is fragrance free (make sure you get this one) that is EXCELLENT for wiping off the face (and body) when you can not take a shower right after a workout -

if you have anymore questions please ask -

Boushee, is it true when you get a facial they use steam and squeez it out for you? Maybe I should get one. Anyone seen those little suction tools IGA makes? I wonder how effective they are?

yep - thats pretty much what we do - but with gentle pressure - if you squeeze it, it will leave an ugly mark - if you have never had a facial i recommend it to everyone - just get a european facial - believe it or not they are relaxing - especially because you get a face massage!

The problem I have with my nose is I have a very thin layer of skin covering my nose which prevents squeezing the blackheads out and the strips don't take them all out either. Even when I exfoliate, the layer doesn't come off. Very annoying....
