Resolved Question

How can i get rid of horrible blackheads? strips dont work and neither do home remedies?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Maybe exfoliating your skin would work but you may have to do this several times to loosen the embedded grease and grime and then continue to do it once a week or so to prevent further build-up.

Regular use of toning lotion after washing or cleansing may also be helpful.

If these measures are not useful, try asking your pharmacist who will be in a position to know what really works.

Hope this helps.

• Neutrogena products are a great help.
  
  The way you choose your everyday food and lifestyle sometimes can influence on the quality of your skin also. For example, if I eat lots of nuts or bacon my body answers with big blackheads in my face (just horrible). But not all people have the same body, you might pay attention in what you eat and see the effects in your body.
  
  I dont disagree with previous answer about removing it by yourself, just use clean fingers and try not to hurt the skin... not always easy task.
  
  If your oil skin really annoys you, a good Dermatologist helps. Good professionals are the best help. Depeding on the size of the problem, they are an investment that is worth it.
• hi this sounds horrible but you have to squeeze them. the blackhead is blocking your pores and most products just dry out your skin causing more problems. If you squeeze them with a tissue and use diinfectant on them afterwards, they shouldnt get infected. washing your face after the blackheads are gone will then wash out your pores even deeper
• iv got loads of tiny ones that i cant "squeeze out". i have tried everything, these are the thing i have tried. some of them are pretty bad but might give you some idea:
  nuetrogena wave
  blackhead remover
  blackhead scrub
  steaming face with boiling water in a jug
  lemon juice on skin
  blackhead strips
  mud masks
  peel of face masks
  tee tree oil
  facewipes]
  anti black head wipes

• Hi,
  
  Use Top Shirley Medicated Cream - it is really effective at clearing blackheads and it works really gently so it won't damage the skin around your blackheads, which makes you less prone to them.
  
  I used to use this cream all the time when I suffered from blackheads.

• Boil the kettle, hot water in a bowl with a little tea tree oil, put a towell over your head and over the bowl so all the steam goes to your face. Stay there for about 5-10mins. Always works for me!
