Thanks to this thread I went and bought some of those biore black head strip things.
So I did as the instructions said......left it on for 15 minutes, peeled it off slowly and OMG, it hurt to take it off!!!! Now I look like rudolph! My nose is bright red. LOL. But man...you should see all the crap that strip took out. I saved it for my hubby to look at. HA!
Here's the oil cleanse for blackheads - it worked for me. The theory is that you have to "melt" the dirt that's clogging the pores. I did it daily for the first little while, and now I only have to do it every couple of weeks or so. Good luck if you decide to give it a try!
