Blackheads

sammy-o · 03-26-2009, 01:05 AM

--HELP! i am so sick of my blackheads!! lately i've been trying to remove them with a tweezer (the sebum) it works, but the pores fill up with sebum like the next day--should i seek a dermatologist? do they ever go away? i think i've used every acne product out there--does proactive work?

thanks

you should get a facial on a regular basis. they say that helps... i have them to. Also exfoliate when u wash your face

or if you dont want to spend a thousand million dollars on facials, that claen and clear blackhead vibrator thingy gets them out and keeps them out. and it doesnt hurt sensitive skin

I get tons of blackheads on my nose and chin. I used to use the tweezers too but I was worried that it might leave scarring so I stopped that.

I use those pore cleansing strips now that are designed to quite literally pull the sebum out of your pores when you remove the strips. They work to a point and do get rid of a good proportion of my blackheads. Don't expect them to get rid of all of them though, and they still come back a few days later. I've found that the more I use the strips, the less quickly the pores fill up again.

These strips do tend to be quite expensive but they can be worth the money if you pick the right ones. I've used the more expensive brands and they are not necessarily any better than the cheaper types.

I don't think you necessarily need to spend a fortune on facials and the like. I've never had a facial so I don't really know if they're worth the money, but my nose strips seem to work fine for me and they're much cheaper!
