Blackheads

I know there is a thread about it…but that’s on the nose.

I’m getting some blackheads on my face now…i’ve got oily skin…so that’s no surprise. What is surprising is that the scrub isn’t getting rid of em. I don’t like to use scrubs every day…and i don’t know if that’s going to help either. squeezing is a no no.

So unless there are biore’ strips for the whole face…what do i do? :bummer:

Re: Blackheads

Ok, well yeah. use the strips for the nose. And you steam your face.okay that sounds weird. but you know what i mean. use a sauna or just put your face over a pot of steaming water. that actually opens the pores up. then use a good blackhead scrub like the one from Neutrogena. And if in the very end, all that still doesnt work. Go see a dermatologist and they’ll remove them for you. My friend did, and her skin looked great afterwards.

Re: Blackheads

steaming…:bummer: i’m always so weirded out by that…i mean isn’t the point to keep them kinda all tiny and closes in the first place?

Re: Blackheads

^ i believe steaming actually helps open up the pores.

ever gone for a facial? they'll do all that steaming stuff there, and take out the blackheads on your face.
and if you don't like the facial idea - buy the strips that can be used for your forehead, and use them wherever you need on your face.

Re: Blackheads

apparently facials aren’t awesome for your skin…as told by a cosmetologist to my cousin. so i dunno :bummer:

the forehead strip idea sounds good.

Re: Blackheads

i've used those nose strips and they dont work at all..i mean when you pull it off you're supposed to see something on it..i dunt know..and i dont have oily skin
but there are a few black heads

i've used the steaming method..and that actually works

Re: Blackheads

The strips do work quite well.

Khumar -- steaming your face is key, before any kind of black head removal. Just taking a hot shower and doing it after that can work too. Or take a hot, wet towel and rest it over your face till it cools (you may want to wrap it around so a bit of your nose is exposed so you can breath). Leave it for at least 5-10minutes.

Once the face is steamed you can do different things:
-exfoliate with a scrub
-use one of those strips
-use a peel-off mask -- those pull out things that are clogging pores as well, a lot like the strips. I have the Queen Helene Grape Seed one, which is pretty good, but I think any peel off mask will do (I think all of them dry clear).

Re: Blackheads

kewl!

I do use the scrub after taking a bath…so all that steam should work to open my pores…but i guess it doesn’t. do i need to turn the temperature of the water higher or what? :bummer:

And thanks Sahar…i’ll look into the peel off mask/
