Blackheads

  • Hi there,

    I have struggled with blackheads on my nose for as long as I can remember. I HATE them! I have tried everything to get rid of them, every product, home remedy to no avail.

    I was hoping that some of you may have your own home remedies or found a product that works.

    Share your knowledge! Please, I beg you!
  • I use this one: http://www.stives.ca/Facial-Products...-Apricot-Scrub
    The ones on my nose are my worst enemy too! Although I can still see them a little bit when I use this scrub, they're a lot less noticeable then when I don't. Plus, it smells like apricots! Mmm...
  • I use warm water to open the pors and then scrub gently with a clean wash cloth, followed by cold water to close them...
  • I Don't have a big problem with blackheads but I did have a couple sorta in the crease of the nose/cheek.
    I noticed when I started cleansing my face with castor oil (I apply onto dry skin and work in, then steam off with a wash cloth) these pretty much all lifted out. Castor oil acts like a clay face mask-it draws impurities from your skin. It's very cheap and can be used for lots of things so it might be worth a try.

    It's slightly more expensive but Origins Clear Improvements charcoal face mask has good reviews for blackhead issues. I use this as well and love it, but I don't really have any blackheads so I can't comment much on it Origins do tend to give out free samples where I am at least, so it might be worth asking for one if you see a stand somewhere.
  • I suffer from blackheads and im always squeezing them. I use blackhead pore strips which do work, plus it's really satifsfying when you peel it off and you see all the little stubs on it. Gross. lol.
