How To Get Rid of Blackheads

Q:I am getting a salicylic acid peel tomorrow (for acne) and want to know what I should expect. I currently have many pimples and whiteheads so will the peel make them worse? Will it get rid of blackheads? Will it hurt? How quickly should my skin recover? What are your experiences with chemical peels? Thank you in advance!

A:yea those strips things work really well i had a lot of them but didnt take then all off.

but now im all clear now. i used a face wash from Boots Botanics [ Skin Brightening Deep Clean Gel] and worked really well on me and only cost like 10 i think ? you can get from target

A:I recommend for you to get a facial.Then try one of those over the counter products like neutragena blackhead clearing scrub it should work.The facial can be a little expensive shall i say around 30 dollars…Anyways it’s worth it…

A:Clearasil works well. I use clearasil daily face wash and their cream gets rid of acne fast.hope this helps!

A:I steam my face every 1-2 weeks, and it helps with blackheads/pimples/etc.

You can google how to do it, but they give you a ton of different ways. :S I prefer to do it over the sink with a towel draped over my head for about 5-10 minutes, then I scrub with St. Ive’s Apricot Scrub Blemishes & Blackheads. c:

A:Clarisonic – bought my daughter one for Christmas and her face is fantastically clear. She still has pores but clean pores.

A:You should try the aspirin mask – drip a little water on an aspirin. The surface will look ‘bubbly’. You can squirt a bit of honey over it before you use the dissolved pill to gently peel your skin. Let it work on your skin for 20 minutes and wash off with warm water. Hope this helps, you can try using a bit of the dissolved aspirin alone on the zits, it might help too. Good luck

A:squeeze them, and after they are out, ,make sure you put rubbing alcohol on the hole to clean out the bacteria.

Q:Im good at getting rid of my pimples but my blackheads seem to be hard to get rid of unless you squeeze it out and it hurts and scars? Do you know of any solutions to help eliminate blackheads? They’re really gross and unattractive.

A:Baking soda works really well. You put some in your hand and add water and use that as a mask type thing and let it sit for 1 to 2 minutes and wash it off. But make sure you use a moisturizer to help your skin to not dry out. It worked really well for me.

A:i use nutregeana if thats how you spell it (im too lazy to get up and check sorry) I use there black head eliminating pads and also there facial scrub. I use the pads in the shower and by the time I’m out all my black heads are gone. ik other things say fast acting but these really are its almost instantly.

Hope it helps (: lol

A:Wash with as hot water as you can stand and use an acne cleaner ( i use Acne Free, a non brand name version of Proactive, cheaper w/ the same ingredients ). Avoid touching your face, as the oil from your fingers clogs up the pores and causes blackheads and pimples. Also, i know this sounds crazy, but those paper toilet seat protectors, grab one of those and shove it in your purse next time you see one, and cut it into small squares. Wipe your face with it and it absorbs all the oil it can. Make sure its not used though! ( heh heh… only joking )

A:Whatever you do do not squeeze or pick the pimples that will just make everything worst. the best thing to do is go to your local store buy a blackhead eraser and continue to wash your face daily and they should disspear

A:Clear skin is a process. Acne can actually take weeks to appear, so even if you started the perfect skin care regimen now, you wouldn’t have a breakout free face for at least a month. I use the Oil Cleanse Method and LOVE IT. My face has never been this smooth or blemish-free. You can find instructions all over the place by just googling “oil cleanse method”, so I highly recommend it!

A:There is a recipe in a magazine, you may have to try all natural products. Buy the magazine J-14. Wash your face nightly.

A:Nutrogena skin ID works great. I used to get breakouts and stuff but it all went away when i bought it.
And you dont have to go in the store or anything just order it on the website for $20 i think it was.

A:Astringent. There are many liquid facial cleaners that you can get that have astringent in them and it is very good for getting rid of blackheads.

Q:i dont have any problems with my face except for the blackheads. i try to keep my face clean and wash it every morning and at night with clean n clear but it is still not working with me… any god tips or advice?

A:Chinese herbs tend to help but you end up boiling loads of wooden pieces in a pan daily lol, you could try toothpaste that dries them out, for blackheads try clearasil. Try aftershave/perfume, they help dry them too. There is a cream called Quinoderm- that is good. You probably wont get rid of them in a week, they usually take longer. if you squeeze them they shall only get worse.

A:exfoliate your skin, open your pores with hot water.
You could also try those nose strips for you nose, very helpful to me at least.

A:i just pinch em till teh nasty oily stuff comes out.but idk of any topical treatments.i guess im juss old fashioned.

jajajajajajajajajajajaja makesyapoop

A:oh god wouldnt we all love that! basic advice i can give to you would be to drink plenty of water and eat a healthy diet. dont snack or eat sugary foods but three good square meals a day. for your tummy i would suggest some situps everynight before bed. and for your skin again lots of water to flush out the toxics and cleans/wash it everyday maybe with a blackhead clearing lotion or gentle spot removal cream. but remember spots are a result of puberty and unfortunatly unavoidable but they are some tips that could help you along the way.

A:Get a glass or metal bowl. Fill with water from a boiling kettle. Put a large towel over your head, then make a tent over the bowl. Free steamer.

Q:besides popping them of course. i already take medication and use creams for my acne and it works great but it still doesnt get rid of blackheads.

A:Well, there is ProActive; which I strongly recommend. It’s better than any of the other acne treatments and actually works. If that doesn’t work you might want to seek medical help for treatment. You can also apply particular masking make-up for your acne, but that won’t cure the acne. Just mask it.

A:St. Ives Apricot Scrub

Also, when your face gets oilly during the day, dab it a little. That’s what causes black heads.

A:if you have got blackheads you need to squeezze them GENTLY and don’t do it before you go out cos your face will be all red! Then make sure you wash with hot water every day. Use plenty of soap but make sure you rinse it all off good luck

A:Try washing your face as often as possible with an oil free wash or plain Ivory soap (you will be surprised how efficiently Ivory cleans the skin). Make an oatmeal pack which consist of plain oatmeal and water use at least once daily this will help with both the spots and blackheads. A good facial scrub like the one by St. Ives is also a good cleanser. Noxzema also is a great skin cleaner and spot brightener.

A:Hey! I literally just did this about 1 hour ago, but just go find the white glue you used when you were like 10, (non toxicate glue) and put it on your nose, where the blackheads are, wait for it to dry, which is like about 5 minutes and peal it off slowly, and you’ll see all the little blackheads on the strip, I found this out not to long ago, and it’s completely safe, if your using the nontoxicate white glue, but your going to see all the little black heads on it and it just looks so dam cool if you have a lot aha! and for the pimples problem, i bought neutrogena oil free acne wash, and it literally changed my skin in about 4 weeks, and my pimples have literally disapeared..you can find it at any drugstore, or even walmart, theres an orange bottle, and a pink bottle, i heard the pink one is really good! Also if you do get it, it might dry your skin like alot just moisturize it after! Hope this helps xoxo

A:strips are also good for getting rid of blackheads. i use biore nose strips and they take the blackheads right out. you only have to leave it on for like 15 minutes and before you know it they’re gone. it works great…though it does dry out your skin a bit…

A:Everyone has blackheads; they are hard to get rid of. You could get a facial, and ask them questions about what you could do. Also, you could extract the black heads with your fingers (try to avoid doing it with your nails, as this will put more bacteria into it) then apply a toner to your face (which will clean out the empty pore and shrink the pore down). After that, apply a moisturizer (which will seal the poor, preventing more bacteria from getting into it).

Q:They aren’t blackheads, but they come from previous pimples, I think. I don’t know how to get rid of them, because washing won’t work.

A:clean and clear blackhead daily wash or i know it sounds weird but before you go to bed put a tiny ammount of toothpaste on the blackhead

A:Use Clean and Clear In Shower Facial 3 times a week and alternate the other days with Clean and Clear Blackhead Control. Then use a mosturizer after use. I’ve been using it for a couple days now and already notice a decrease in my blackheads!

A:For starters, Proactive is for acne; acne and blackheads are not the same thing. So for you, it’s a matter of whatever YOU wanna call them!! You should try using a facial scrub, cleanse your face properly and use an astringent. You should do some research on skin, and how to care for it.

A:simple cream or propoliss works wonders! Propolis get rid of anything from 10 mIns to half an hour(: its basically bees wax and is amazing and you need to try it!

A:The best way to get rid of them is to steam your face if you have a face steamer perfect, if not get a bowl put boiling water in it and then use a towel as you steam your face for a good 5 minutes, this will open the pores in your face, give your face a good wash with a good face scrub, after wash your face with cold water to close the pores, repeat 2-3 times a week and im sure you’ll see a difference in no time.

Good Luck.

A:Well I don’t know about too many homemade concoctions persay. I’ve heard that water and baking soda can dry oily skin over night. I’ve been able to eliminate blackheads with products including Queen Helena Grapeseed facemasque, and St. Ives apricot scrub. Both are cheap.

A:welp if u wanna get rid of the blackheads u can either pop them out (makes your poors bigger and probly leaves scars and will hurt like hell and might make u puke like it did me when i saw it on jackass) or u can boil a thing of water and put your face over it but dont let it get hot enuf to burn your face off..thatd be bad haha but just let it get soft and then exfoliate yer face with a scrub thing or a loofa. only way i know how to get rid of the pimples is by usin acne medicine with peroxide in it. good luck!

Q:I am 14 years old and I usually just get blackheads or whiteheads but all of a sudden I got a huge nodule on my nose. I heard that birth control helps get rid of acne and I am wondering if that is true and what types of acne it helps clear up. Can I be put on it when I’m only 14? And what are the side effects and how much is it? Thanks!

A:You just have to wash your face every night and morning with soap specifically for it. There’s no way to get rid of everything, you’ll have to deal with the fact that you’ll have some blemishes.

A:you need a mask. after a couple of applications. where you let it get hard and then peal it off. you will see a difference,
the cheap way is elmers glue, like you use to do on your hand in elem. school. then peal it all off. same thing on your face. you will see the blackheads. i just dont know how safe it is, but it worked, i am still alive too.

A:Try the facial like the person above me said.
What I do is squeeze them with two Q-tips. NEVER uses your fingers, the oils on your hands goes straight back into your nose and then you’d just get more blackheads!

A:WHAT AN AWFUL QUESTION TO READ WHILE I’M EATING BREAKFAST , BUT A RELEVANT NEVER THE LESS. I USE TO USE THE STRIPS YOU PUT ON YOUR NOSE I CAN’T REMEMBER THE NAME BUT THEY ARE AT YOUR LOCAL PHARMACY FOR SURE..GOODLUCK..

A:well idk what with the red cheeks but…the neutrogena wave will really help with the dead skin & blackheads! & it leaves you skin super soft…..as of the scars i use the acne-free scar teatment product…its jus 2 lotions, one to help the scars & another to put on top so your face dont dry out. it worked really great on mine, dont let anyone tell ya you cant get rid of them completely cuz i did! its only abou $15 & lasted me about 3 months using it once a day. & the wave is only about $10 too & comes with 14 pads. there not too expensive….id atleast get the lotion for the scars cuz i can guarentee it will work! good luck & hope i could help =)

A:U dnt need any medicines u just need soaps and moisturizers like neutrogena, proactiv or max clarity.

A:Niacinamide face cleansing pads are effective and simple way to keep acne away. Just place a pad on the pimple and watch it fade away. Lavender Oil helps prevent skin drying.
Niacinamide pads are also known as Vitamin B3 pads or Nicotinamide pads. Works on body acne too.
Give them a try and you will be pleasantly surprised.
Niacinamide also helps diminish skin-hyperpigmentation (acne scars).

A:Cleanse and moisturise daily, and drink a lot of water! Water is the best cure…honestly! If you drink from around 6-8 glasses a day your skin will clear within around 2-3 weeks!

Q:Hey any good tips of getting rid of spots or blackheads.
Also are there any good products that ACTUALLY work.
Do pore strips work?
Thankyou! (:

A:Get Clean n Clear’s green apple scrub. It’s the best blackhead removing scrub in the market. Trust me, it works!!

A:put a really hot facecloth on,leave it for a moment,this will open the pores more, then try to squeeze them out,sometimes this is the only way to get rid of them

A:If u have a bottle of visine around put some on tje spots. It does work ive done it before. If u can do it atleast 30-45 minutes before u leave or earlier if u have time

A:Sorry to answer yours again–but I love the beauty ones and it came up in my feed. To get rid of blackheads I use biore pore strips, and again you can pretty much find them anywhere.
walmart
target
ulta (where i got mine, best price)
you get your nose wet and put the strip on, leave it on for 15 minutes or until hard and it clears them out. works very well. good luck!

A:I used to use this one product I can’t remember what it’s called but from memory it’s in a small pale green & white box. You stick it on your nose and leave it for a few minutes then rip it off.. It worked for me but I can’t remember what it’s called, sorry

A:ugh! i hate blackheads! i use a white egg mask on my entire face and let it sit for 30 minutes. make sure you mix the egg white very well until it turns into foam because then it’ll drip of your face. it dries those evil blackheads right off and then after a few weeks you just scratch them off without having to squeeze anything out. apply it every night and then after you rinse it off apply a tiny amount (spot treat) where you have your blackheads. the mask will make your face feel very tight, itchy and uncomfortable as it’s drying out, but it’s worth it. hope this works for you!

Q:I have some blackheads that have just started coming. I’ve always been quite lucky, I’ve never really suffered from spots or acne. What is the best way to get rid of blackheads forever, so they never come back!!!!! I hate them.

A:it depends where they are, if you have then over your nose a pore strip will usually clear them up. otherwise you can buy a blackhead remover, kind of like tweezers.
xxx

A:yes, use face towel or steamer…Never squeeze out blackheads or pimples or you’ll end up like moon crater face.

A:wash your face with a rag with hot water and rinse with cold. dont scrub your face with the rag daily because it can cause dry skin.

A:its easy, but takes time. get clean and clear and lather up your face good, where the black heads are. wash your face about 3 times a day and you will see that they will be becoming less.

A:First, don’t cover it with makeup. It won’t help your acne. You should try using different products. I use clearisil pads for night and noxema in the shower. Don’t use any products with oil make sure every face product is oil free. I don’t need moisturizer but if you like it make sure it is light.

A:Exercise: sweat, the pours are blocked up and sweating cleanses them, but wash your face after wards.

A:Try gently squeezing the puss out of the pimple to reduce the size. It may turn red, so after you get the puss out make sure that you wash your face. After that I usually use oil-free moisture or a little bit of lotion. It may not completely go away, but that will reduce the size and swelling. It will probably take a couple of days until it disappears. Mine usually go away after two days, so yours should too.

Q:i have blackheads bad on my nose and niow they r on my cheek forhead and chin like i wash my face everyday about 4 times and they just get worse please help!!
thanks

A:i havent used the wave but i heard i works well
also drinking plenty of water helps
if they still wont go away soaking a zit or blackhead in warm water for 20 minutes breaks down oil and bacteria
hope this helps =]

A:for blackheads- clean and clear blackhead scrub- about 4-5$ at any drugstore or walmart or somewhere like that. amazing! if a girl doesn’t like u solely b/c u have a few zits she is way to shallow- we understand pimples are in everyones life
good luck

A:BiORE STRiPS WORK OR YOUH CAN TRY THE NEW CLEAN AND CLEAR BLACKHEAD REMOVER…iT WORKS REALLY GREAT;

A:have you tried blackhead strips ? what you do is you wet your nose and put a strip on it, wait until it gets hard (like paper mache) and then you rip it off and off with it comes blackheads. also, exfoliating brings mine to the surface so its easier to use these strips so i exfoliate before i put them on.

A:A professional facial and ask for microdermabrasion. If you ask for blackhead removal be prepared it is a painful process but it will definitely clear it up. Do a search on YouTube for blackhea facials to get an idea.

A:Shake about two teaspoonfulls of baking soda in the palm of your hand. Drop a few drops of water into the baking soda to make a paste. Take the paste and rub your blackheads and all around the general area. Works as a great facial scrub and exfoilater to remove dead skin and oil that blocks your pores and causes blackheads. Then rinse with cold water.

Another idea is to put a drop of water onto an oat (whole oat meal) put the oat onto the head of the black head. It works like magic to dry up the blackhead and get the skin back to normal.

Q:I have very tiny blackheads on my nose. They are almost invisible and pore strips don’t get rid of them. Will the Clarisonic help? I’ve been using a manual brush and it hasn’t helped with them much but I hear the Clarisonic cleans your pores much deeper.

A:Do A Face mask with something you have to peel off.I find the 1′s that you wash off don’t work as well.
You could also get a scrubber for washing your face instead of just a towel or by hand.
Oh & if you have them now & your face is oily don’t worry so much,YOU won’t age as FAST!!

A:Same as the way to get rid of ten pounds of ugly fat! Cut your head off.
Sorry! Bad taste joke, but I couldn’t resist!

A:As a nurse, I know a thing or two about pharmaceuticals, so let me explain. The brand you choose to use does not matter. The best thing to do is look for a product containing salicylic acid. Also you need something that will exfoliate your skin that you can use with the face wash containing salicylic acid and after you use it, hang it up to dry away from the sink or bathtub where it can properly dry. When you allow wash rags or other washing items, like body puffs or loofahs, to hang around in the tub or sink, they become breeding grounds for bacteria which will actually cause breakouts and skin problems.

A:My grandma has always used baking soda for brushing her teeth. It’s a gentle yet exfoliating way to do it, and it can help brighten them. I have never heard of using it for blackheads, but I can see how it might work. My advice is to use the store brand “apricot scrubs” the ones that are very gritty like sand. I use them once a day, sometimes every other day. I use them while showering because then I can make sure to get all of the gritty sandy stuff washed away. It makes a huge difference as I have a blackhead problem on my nose and chin. You will notice a difference after the first use with this product, just don’t scrub too hard or your face will be red for a while.

A:Put a dab of superglue on the blackhead and stick a pencil eraser on it…when the glue dries, pull off the eraser and TADA…the blackhead will come out. You can also use the butt end of a pair of tweezers and press near the blackhead, it will hurt a lil bit but they always pop out
