i cant use strips because lie i said the blackheads are deep inside my pores and clean and clear didnt work. doe s anyone know what brand is good for these pores. i mean something that u have used and actually saw resuts.Blackheads deep inside the pore?
back before pro-active %26amp; biore strips %26amp; all that other stuff...
When I was a teenager, I would (1) boil water in a pan (2) turn stove OFF, (3) place a towel over my head %26amp; lean my face forward into the steam (1, 2 %26amp; 3 are the steps for steaming your face) then I would (3) mix table salt with water to form a paste (4) apply salt paste to oiliest, most blackheaded areas (for me it was the crease in my chin and my nose) and if needed lay down so that it won't fall off (5) alllow to dry, as it dries, it draws out the yucky stuff (6) after dries lean over a sink and run your hands under the water (7) use your damp hands to then scrub your facce with the dried salt (exfoliate) (8) rinse twice with water or more if needed to get all the salt off. When you wash/clean (like in the shower, etc...) then only use Dove Soap or a mild glycerine soap (like Pears)... do not use anything else on your skin. If your skin gets dry (this can be true of things like your legs or your elbows, if not your face at this point in your life) then use warm vegatable based oil (sweet almond oil, sunflower oil, extra light olive oil, grapeseed oil) you can warm it slightly by simply placing the jar in sunlight or drizzling it on your hands %26amp; then rub your hands together really fast to create a small amount of heat.. then simply run into your skin..... @ 30 I started to use warm oil on my entire body after every time I bathed while my skin was still warm as I found I was begining to get a little less oily with age.
If you will do this 1 time per week your complexion will improve. Then continue to do this 1 time per week until needed. I started this routine when I was @ 10 years old. The only ';soap'; ever used on any of my skin was either Dove or Pears. I will sometimes use Pears in the summertime when I am more oily. I was using this same routine even through my early 30s because I have very oily skin. At @ 35 I reduced the salt scrub down to 1 time per month. Now I am 41 and still use salt 1 time per month.
I have always had wonderful skin (thanks to both genetics and wonderful education early on how to take care of my skin). I have always had wonderful compliments on my skin %26amp; because my skin is so well cared for, I only use lipstick %26amp; mascarra... even in the 80s when heavy make-up was en vogue, I never really needed it %26amp; I never needed base make-up at all... thankfully, as it is so destructive to your skin %26amp; can actually be the root cause of clogged pores.
and ohhh, by the way.... my child is now 19.. my SON was properly educated about skin care; however, he thought Dove Soap %26amp; Salt Scrub was a ';girly thing';... so he wouldn't practice this routine... and was encouraged by his father that there were other products available... At 14 he began to be plagued with huge black-heads on face and his back... his father bought him every product on the market... they tried everything.. nothing seemed to work... and FINALLY he decided to try the routine that had been established by the women in my family since the 1800s.... it took about a month of diligent care to clear his skin up. now, at 19 he has beautiful skin and has no hesitation to advise his freinds on his skin care routine... and, yes, he uses either Dove or Pears along with the Salt Scrub.
to add.. seeing the comment below me.... yes, they say don't pinch them out.. I have done that in some rare cases of very large blackheads.. sometimes it is the only way to keep the blackhead from further stretching the pore %26amp; then scarring your skin... if you decide to ';pop'; then make sure your hands and under your fingernails are 100% scrubbed clean to avoid bacterial infectionBlackheads deep inside the pore?
well you can try toothpaste, if that doesn't work, i heard that head and shoulders shampoo works,or you can use cotton balls to dab salt water on it, and use honey 2-3 times a day to make the scaring go away, or you can rub ice on it for 5-10 minutes. I hope you fine something that works, if you do, tell me!
I have used my method and it works anytime...
You need baby oil and thing salt..
First rub oil and put table salk (not rock salt) and rub it against your sin..not too rough..and wash it...
This way it doesn't enlarge your pores and it doesn't infect it either...

These are some effective home remedies for the treatment of acne and blackheads.
Well to answer your question I have the same problem and I am now using proactive. It helps remove them as long as you do it two times a day. If it dryes up your skin only do it once a day. Make sure you do face masks to.If you then see results keep using it so you don't have to worry about them even coming back. An also Ive learned that if your skin is dry and you use cover up a lot, then start mixing your cover up with some lotion and it won't look so dry and it won't show much of that peeling skin that some people have (like i do). You know what I mean?
Try steaming open your pores first off:
1) Bring a pot of water to boil
2) Dump it into a heat-safe bowl
3) Take a big towel and cover your head and the bowl with it (forming a tent-Might want to pull your hair back for this)
4) Keep your face under the towel for 5 minutes.
5) Quickly go to the bathroom and try clean+clear blackhead scrub.
6) Repeat about 2-3 times a week
Good luck....this works really well for me!
even though lots say it doesnt work, proactiv could help. also, se a dermatologist for best results. you can ask your facilist what she recommends, too. Facials get deep inside the pore, so go monthy
i used a paste made of baking soda and water.
like trsust me, it works.. atleast for me.
leave it on for about 10 minutes, and rinse it off with hot water and then immately cold water. your blackheads will be gona and you will get EXTRA smooth skin. :)
They say not to do this, but I squeeze them out sometimes. But yes, hot water helps open your pores!

How do I get really huge blackheads [Pores?] off of my nose/why are they there?
They are the result of grease build-up. If you don麓t clean your face every day, and i don麓t mean just soap and water, but a cleansing cream and lotion, you can start doing that.
I still ahven麓t found anything that works for me, and i give myself a whole face treatment every day. I麓m seriously thinking of seeing a dermatologist.How do I get really huge blackheads [Pores?] off of my nose/why are they there?
They're there because you've neglected to clean your face.
Excess buildup of oil and dead skin cells can clog pores. Wash your face twice a day and avoid wiping your nose with dirty hands.How do I get really huge blackheads [Pores?] off of my nose/why are they there?

Blackheads - Do Biore Pore Strips Really work?
i have really bad blackheads!!!!!!!
sometimes i look at myself in the mirror and just cry, that's how much they effect me, ive tried everything steaming my face, blackhead scrubs, i wash my face every night without fail, i recently cme over these new biore strips do they work really? are they worth it ?
or is there anything else
Its much much appreciated !
xxBlackheads - Do Biore Pore Strips Really work?
Ah my beauty secret is this mask you can buy at Ulta or CVS. Its called Mint Julep: http://www.acne.org/images/products/quee鈥?/a>
its a clay mask that you leave on for about 15 min. When the clay dries, it pulls dirt and oil from your pores and get rid of it when you wash it off your face.
I usually use it twice a week right after a shower when pores are open because of the stream. I used to have a lot of blackheads on my nose, but since I have been using this, none at all.
Also clean and clear just came out with a vibrating blackhead cleanser. I would look into that in addition to the mask.
It will work, I promise. I have never been impressed with biore.
Oh and also try a little Seabreeze too. The yellow one is the best for blackheads. Just dab a little on after you wash your face.
You should be blackhead free in no time
Good luckBlackheads - Do Biore Pore Strips Really work?
What works really well are chemical exfoliants like Alpha hydroxy acid, beta hydroxy acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid etc. You should get a face wash with one of those in it, and get some pads too. Avon makes a good glycolic pad called ';anew';. Yes, the biore strips work, but for long term use I think you're better off with a chemical.
OMG! I had that exact same problem! I havent tried the strips but when I started using Clean %26amp; Clear Blackhead ERaser that my mom suggested. After 2 weeks of using it 4 times a week, you will see improvement! AFter using it for a month, i NEVER get blackheads again!
I've only heard bad things about them. I used them once, and although they removed most of the blackheads, they left behind a nose covered in tiny, hard little bumps that stuck around for 2 weeks or so.
Definitely not worth it for me - I'd rather have the blackheads.
they work sorta... but not much. they rip more hair out of your nose then clogged pores. you need to get a facial. thats what facial are, they clear your pores and clean your skin and exfoliate it. i promise you, that'll take care of it.
also, what kind of foundation are you using?? might be coming from that. bare minerals is the best thing i ever did for black heads.
I used these once and I will never use them again! It was almost like the chemical burned my skin. It pulled out like 5 blackheads so for me it was not worth it, BUT everyone is different. Give it a try it may work for you.
i use them and id say they work!!you just have to wash ur face before and put them on when ur nose is wet and make sure to leave it on until its like paper mache, hard, then peel it off! hope it works 4 u!!! XD
Yep, get a facial.
1) They feel goood.
2) Get rid of blackheads.
3) Get rid of spots and oilyness.
4) Make your face feel soft and smooth, and looks good.

Those pore strips SUCK. They irritate your skin. Imagine ripping a band aid off your skin. Not pleasant, right?
Yes, they seem to work best on the nose.

PROACTIVE
Proactive. 100% Guaranteed .
You have to lightly put it on your face not scrub hard. It works great.
take about four aspirin and dissolve them in a few drops of water.. add in a squirt of honey and make it into a paste.. you can also add in a few vitamin e capsules if ya like.. this can be used as a scrub, mask if left on for ten minutes, and a spot treatment left on over night.. it works like pro active.. i've used both and got the same result with each which is clear skin.. pro active dried my skin out too, but aspirin didn't.. it's a lot cheaper also..
oh.. and pro active contains benzoil peroxide.. whereas aspirin contains salicylic acid ..
honey alone as a mask works very well also.. leave it on for twenty minutes..
another thing i do as an exfoliate is i scrub my face with an electric toothbrush.. it's sounds kinda weird but it works.. it really cleans out your pores and removes dead skin, oil and dirt.. you can use any scrub ya like or the aspirin i mentioned.. i like to use st. ives.. and i do it about three times a week..
only wash your face when you wake up in the morning, before you go to bed, and after exercise.. excess washing makes your face produce extra oil..
warm water opens pores and cold closes them.. so wash with warm and rinse with cold..
and watch the make up you use.. a mineral make up is much better for your skin.. it doesn't clog your pores or cause break outs.. i recommend bare minerals..
and get a good toner and moisturizer.. i use the garnier nutritioniste moisturizer.. and lemon juice is a good toner..
drink lots of water.. eat healthy.. and take vitamin e, vitamin c, zinc and b vitamins..
hope this helps..
i use Clean%26amp;Clear acne cleansing scrub, spot treatment, and moisturizing cream. it works great!!
proactiv
Aloette has a few natural masques. The best one I find is the Warming Pumpkin Energizing Masque. It is great for removing black heads. It opens your pores and absorbs dirt, oil and toxins. The warming feature soothes, while, it increases blood circulation that supports and nourishes healthy skin. Another good product is the Aloe-pure multi-action scrub. It contains honey and the inside of almond. So its not touch or harsh on the skin at all. It is amazing for blackheads and reducing pore size! If you want anymore information or have any questions, feel free to email me

Good luck!

PROACTIVE
Proactive. 100% Guaranteed .
You have to lightly put it on your face not scrub hard. It works great.
take about four aspirin and dissolve them in a few drops of water.. add in a squirt of honey and make it into a paste.. you can also add in a few vitamin e capsules if ya like.. this can be used as a scrub, mask if left on for ten minutes, and a spot treatment left on over night.. it works like pro active.. i've used both and got the same result with each which is clear skin.. pro active dried my skin out too, but aspirin didn't.. it's a lot cheaper also..
oh.. and pro active contains benzoil peroxide.. whereas aspirin contains salicylic acid ..
honey alone as a mask works very well also.. leave it on for twenty minutes..
another thing i do as an exfoliate is i scrub my face with an electric toothbrush.. it's sounds kinda weird but it works.. it really cleans out your pores and removes dead skin, oil and dirt.. you can use any scrub ya like or the aspirin i mentioned.. i like to use st. ives.. and i do it about three times a week..
only wash your face when you wake up in the morning, before you go to bed, and after exercise.. excess washing makes your face produce extra oil..
warm water opens pores and cold closes them.. so wash with warm and rinse with cold..
and watch the make up you use.. a mineral make up is much better for your skin.. it doesn't clog your pores or cause break outs.. i recommend bare minerals..
and get a good toner and moisturizer.. i use the garnier nutritioniste moisturizer.. and lemon juice is a good toner..
drink lots of water.. eat healthy.. and take vitamin e, vitamin c, zinc and b vitamins..
hope this helps..
i use Clean%26amp;Clear acne cleansing scrub, spot treatment, and moisturizing cream. it works great!!

Aloette has a few natural masques. The best one I find is the Warming Pumpkin Energizing Masque. It is great for removing black heads. It opens your pores and absorbs dirt, oil and toxins. The warming feature soothes, while, it increases blood circulation that supports and nourishes healthy skin. Another good product is the Aloe-pure multi-action scrub. It contains honey and the inside of almond. So its not touch or harsh on the skin at all. It is amazing for blackheads and reducing pore size! If you want anymore information or have any questions, feel free to email me

Good luck!

Sticking to a strick regime of making sure that you wash and moisturise your face before you go to bed. Drink lots of water eat vegetables and fish such as salmon (which contains oils that are great for skin and hair) and nuts (like almonds etc).
An ideal mask that extracts dirt and oil from clogged pores can be made by using orange peel and yogurt.It also opens up the clogged pores that cause acne and blackheads.Clay masks used regularly helps pull out trapped oil and dead skin.Check out http://useinfo-blackhead.blogspot.com/ for more useful tips to control blackheads.
Whats the difference between Blackheads and Pores?
They have different cleansers for bothWhats the difference between Blackheads and Pores?
Pores are the natural grooves in your skin that allow it to breathe. And blackheads are dirt and oil that fill pores....that's what you try to get rid of but it's inevitable to always have a few.Whats the difference between Blackheads and Pores?
Pores are openings in the skin that allow the skin to ';breathe'; and allows the body to release sweat in order to cool itself. Blackheads are pores that are clogged with dirt, germs, and other yucky stuff.
Pores are the tiny holes in your skin.
Blackheads are a type of acne, they're the little black dots, which are actually partially blocked pores.
blackheads are a type of pimple, when they get filled with bacteria, an they look black to the naked eye
pores are part of your skin
the pores are what fill with bacteria
pores are the natural holes in your skin that help your skin breathe (sounds wierd) they are always there no matter what.
blackheads are when dirt gets into the pores instead of creating a pimple (zit) they create a blackhead. to get rid of these just use a cleanser that gets rid of them. (they are black little dots on your face)

Use Salicylic Acid
http://www.acnedoctor.us/shopping.php
Or Tretinoin
http://www.acnedoctor.us/shopping.php
sometimes just washing it with soap and water helps, but you have to do it twice a day and it rarely works. try using some avon products. They usually always work for all skin types! Or you can order something online from avon. But i dont know any natural remedies, but to keep your pores small you can mix together the white of eggs and some fruit...look it up online. it helps cause the egg tightens your skin, then you wash it off. easy!
The absolute best way to solve your skin problems is to get a professional facial, then discuss with the pro your skin problems, current facial routines, and she will be able to give you tips and solutions on how to improve the condition of your skin. Sometimes, it has to do with your diet or not drinking enough water. Other times, its improper facial routine/hiegene.
You must use really good cleansing products that really get down into your pores. Also wash your nose differently aside from the rest of your face.
Follow these steps:
Try neutregena blackhead remover
Put it on your nose individually
Then wash your face with a deep cleanser
Put toner on it
Follow up by clinique moisterizing gel.
Do this twice a day if you must.

You have to attack acne where it starts, with your diet. For me, diet was the cause and solution. Topical medications fight the symptoms. Start by eliminating trans fats and eating more fruits and vegetables. Once you start cleaning up the inside of your body, by eating properly, the outside of your body (your skin) will be get cleaned up too. I started a website to document my problem and solution.

You might find it helpful to read my story. Just remember to eat an all natural/organic diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Stay away from processed foods. Use mild, all natural cleansers and don't pick at your face. Get lots of sleep and enough water for your body weight. Remember, clean body = clean skin. While you're waiting for your skin to clear, remind yourself that acne is a challenge that you will overcome soon. Once you're rid of it, tell all your friends how you did it. That's what I'm doing. God Bless.

try proactive, yeah alot of people use it and it really works. try some pore strips for unclogging, from biore' or the heating mask from biore' as well for minimizing pores and cleansing them. any biore' product will do the trick! Good Luck!
change your exfoliator it may not be agreeing with your skin or that your being to rough hence the reaction, seek advice from dermatologist they will give you the clearest and safest advice possible.
also mosturising over pores can make them look larger.
For me, Mint Julep Masks work well. If you try them though, make sure to was them off thoroughly, or the places on your face that you didn't rinse it off will seem dry and stiff.
Other products I use are Clearasil Ultra [the lotion], and Neutrogena Rapid something..I forget what it's called but it's by Neutrogena and it's in an orange container, and I use the pads. It says that it'll help acne in under 8 hours, and believe it or not it actually does do a pretty good job.

How can I get rid of blackheads/deep pores on nose?
if you have really oily skin try rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball. just rub it across your face and it opens your pores. i do it and it really worksHow can I get rid of blackheads/deep pores on nose?
Fill a metal sink with hot water put a towel over your head and lean over sink but be careful. stay like that for 5-10 minutes ( this will open the pores ) Next use a good face wash scrub or mask. After that use ice and rub it on your face to close pores.
Another great home remedy is this. open pores and wash then rub eggwhites over the area were the pores are large let dry rinse off wash again and moisterize with a light moisterizer w/ little or no oil.
Hope this helped:)How can I get rid of blackheads/deep pores on nose?
DO NOT RUB ALCOHOL ON YOUR NOSE! Sry, but that is REALLY bad. That will make it really, really worse. Your skin will get all off balance and produce MORE oil, and make your breakouts worse. Dry a deep cleansing or warming scrub, and some pore nose strips.
those sticky white strips that you rip off like a band aid
blackhead strips - okay - but not even close to being completely removed.
facial scrub - but no grauntees
hmm... I would like to know what works! good luck
...dunno if this truly works, but I heard that ear wax remover pulls the gunk outta deep pores.
I have the SAME problem. and when I take my finger and put the tip on my nose and rub down it feels bumpy in certain spot-I know,gross-I have no idea how to get rid of them. I have tried several different kinds of pore cleansing face washes with no luck and by squuezing the firtout it only made my nose peel. Good Luck! I'll check back to see what ya got
Mud mask (the clay type). Overnight. Every Other Day for Two Weeks.
Make sure you moisturize in the morning.
It will works.
