blackhead nightmare

[Guest JeepGirl90]

over the last few weeks I've had alot of blackheads almost like an epidemic. and they are stubborn. I don't know what to do about getting rid of them

Those facial scrubs are really good . There like a creamy consistency with little rough bits in it . You wash you apply it to your face give it a good rub with your fingers and the rinse off . There are ones especially for black heads . You may also find some natural remedies some use honey or egg whites . Google will give you heaps of natural ways to get rid of them .

well I tried something just now that seemed to work.<br /><br />I had Biore strips but they never really worked very well. so i tried something new with them tonight that seemed to work. I boiled some water and stuck my face over the steam for about 5 minutes to get my pores opened up, then used an Aveeno Brightening Daily Scrub I had with hot water then applied the strips after that. and That seemed to work better anyway. I also ordered one of those scarey looking blackhead removal tools so if I can't get them 100% with this method, then I can use that to get the really bad ones.<br /><br />

That sounds like a good way . At least it got the job done silly blackheads

I've been using a product that my wife got as a free sample. The brand is called "Simple" and it's a facial wash that has no extras in it, it cleans your face thoroughly but gently and doesn't strip away your natural moisture. All those other fancy products will strip off your skins moisture and open up your pores to all sorts of impurities, which is pretty much how blackheads happen. I've had very good luck with it so far, and a little goes a VERY long way. My face has never been clearer.

Any exfoliant that's a bit gritty should help. I've used St. Ives Apricot and they have one specifically for blackhead control.

well a little update, just in case anyone else is battle blackheads. i bought a blackhead removal tool off of eBay that finally came in today, well once I figured out how to use it properly, it works very well, I now have gotten rid of most of them, however its not the comfortable method out there but it works so that is really I care about lol

I always get blackheads on my nose I use an exfoliating sponge to wash my face with, it isn't too rough and I try not to scrub too hard because you can lose elasticity of the skin when you do that every day. I also steam my face sometimes, but be careful not to put your face too close to the water because it can cause you to get varicose veins on your face
