What is the best way to remove blackheads?

Hello,





I suffer from blackheads around my nose and chin,I can't seem to remove them whatever I try.Ive tried steaming my face then useing nose strips but hardly anything came out,also used lotion for blackheads but thats useless too.


Does someone have any tips that really does get them out?





Thanks very much!What is the best way to remove blackheads?
Do NOT start putting food products on your skin! That just leads to bacteria growth, which leads to acne!





Honestly, I've read multiple skin care studies and product reviews written by independent specialists, and the only thing that really, really works for blackheads is a good BHA or salicylic acid product... they exfoliate the insides of the pores as well as the surface of the skin, and my blackheads disappeared within a week or so when I started using them. You just have to use gentle ones, like the ones I recommend below. I have extremely sensitive skin, and the ones I have listed include anti-irritants, and are not harsh.





The least expensive, very good BHA product available in drugstores is Clearasil Acne Fighting Facial Moisturizers ($3.99 for 3.4 ounces). More expensive, but possibly slightly better is Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Defense Face Lotion ($7.99 for 1.7 ounces). Personally, I use Paula鈥檚 Choice 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Liquid ($15.95 for 4 ounces), but it's only available online, which means you have to pay for shipping.





You can also try Biore pore strips, but be aware that they only remove the top 1/16'; of the blackhead, and leave the pores open to refill with dirt and oil. Plus, pores are very deep, and the bottom of the pore will remain clogged. So they reduce the appearance for about a day, but you still need the BHA!What is the best way to remove blackheads?
Potatoes and baking soda don't work i tried that before i'm not sure about the honey i have a feeling it might add grease to your face.





I found that if you steam your face everyday! (only use nose strips every 3 days) it will help alot! It DOES take time. I found tea tree to be the best nose strips out there.





Also if you want direct improvement buy the warming black head fighting cream wash by biore i used it and in just 3 days it really improves your skin!





unfortunatly i myself still suffer from them i heard getting a facial at a beauty salon helps. Here are 2 other tips i have heard of i havn't tried yet so give it a go!





1. whip up egg white and place it on your face it makes your skin and pores tigher


2. After using your facewash rub a cube of ice over all your infected areas this will also tighten your pores alot


hopefully after a while the number of black heads will greatly decrease!
Warm some honey and place it on trouble areas for 10 鈥?15 minutes. Wash off. Honey is a well known and effective method of removing blackheads from the skin.


or you could try grated raw potatoes can be used to treat all kinds of skin problems including pimples, wrinkles, whiteheads and blackheads. Pack potatoes directly on problem areas to extract blackheads.
baking soda =) it pops the blackheads right up
Use a daily exfoliating product and give the blackhead-prone areas a good scrubbing. That will give the skin the deep cleaning it needs.





Some products that I like are:


* RoC庐 Daily Microdermabrasion Cleansing Disk (exfoliates and then smoothes -- so pores are deep cleaned and then moisterized)


* Olay Definity Pore Redefining Scrub





The problem with some salycic acid products is they can be quite harsh and drying. I prefer these products that both deep clean and smooth the skin.





But to get a personalized skin regimen, you may want to see a dermatologist.
steaming is great for opening the pores, you can do this but if you then decide to pick the blackheads you must be gentle on the skin otherwise you can scar it..... and you must be careful that if you pick one you then dont touch other parts of the face or you will be putting the dirt straight back into the skin.... exfoliation is the best thing you can do, many beauty salons no longer use steam as they feel that it is to harsh on the skin instead they just use exfoliator (a prime example of this is salons who use a range from elemis) if you exfoliate the skin properly it will remove the dirt and dead skin and leave it glowing..... one last tip dont do this to often as if you do you will make the skin produce more grease hence producing more blackheads or spots.....





good luck hope the skin clears up x
Try diet, stop tea and coffee only take alcohol in moderation and hardest of all when you wash first thing in the morning use icy cold water and no soap. Not quite as satisfying as having a good squeeze and splattering the mirror but my thing works. I was suffering with heat spots and the medical book failed. An old arab advised the cold water treatment and it was murder, but the heat spots vanished. try rising at 0345 each morning and pouring a bucketful of icy water down your back. I must have been mad but have never had spots since and I'm talking of fifty years ago..............


Look at my avatar, not a spot or blackhead in sight
The best way to get rid of them is Cleanse, Tone and Moisturise everyday until they are gone (also drinking water and eating healthy does help BTW).





I had the same problem as you and did everything you can think of then I did as I said above (Cleanse, Tone and Moisturise) and now my friends ask me for tips on my face!





I have no spots, no blackheads and definatly no acne at all.





It is not just the way my skin is originally because I had really spotty skin before and now none!





I put on make-up nearly every day to (Tinted moisturiser, Bronzer, Blush, Eye liner and Mascara) so it does really work.





Try the Simple brand if your looking for a good brand of cleansing things.





Hope I helped!
i use a pair of body gloves from boots they are 拢2.50 i do my face every other day in circle motion no soap just water that works or i squeeze them
i just stopped using everything and drank lots of water and ate lots of fruit . now people are jealous of my skin! yay!
Slice a potato in half and scrub your blackheads with it.
well i usually use the old method and just pinch em out! It might take awhile and alot of people say it's not good for you., but it works for me. After i pinch most of them out or the ones that rly show, i clean my face with just water or soap. Then try putting the blackhead removal lotion. That should prevent it form them coming back.





Hope it helps good luck!
Cleanse your face with unboiled milk, gently rub a coarse cloth dipped in milk to remove the blackheads. Steam your face with herbs like lavender, lemon peel and mint leaves added to the water and let the skin soak up its goodness.
