I use a clay mask once or twice a week, to pull the blackheads up. First, I open my pores with hot water. Then I apply the mask and wait until it dries. After rinsing it off, I use a Biore pore strip to pull the blackheads out that were loosened. It doesn't get all my blackheads, but it does get a lot. Instead of using a pore strip after the mask, you can use a scrub to get rid of the blackheads. I find a pore strip is more effective after I use a mask.
Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask is just a few dollars. Olay also makes a clay mask. Sometimes Bath and Body Works has a sale and you can get C.O. Bigelow Purifying Cleansing Mask for half price. I use Grassroots Get Grounded Skin Purifying Clay Mask from Kohl's department store.
I hope this gives you some good ideas!I have struggled with blackheads on my nose forever. I have tried many skin care lines, also pore cleansers?
1. Rinse your face with hot water to open your pores.
2. Generously saturate a section of washcloth with baby oil (olive oil works well too).
3. Place a dab of toothpaste (not the gel kind) on the oily washcloth.
4. Gently and thoroughly rub the toothpaste over your nose with the oily cloth. Do it twice if you have a lot of blackheads.
5. If you like, you can massage it into your whole face. Add more oil or toothpaste as necessary.
6. Wait about 5 minutes, then rinse your face thoroughly with hot water and a clean washcloth.
7. To finish, splash your face with cold water to close the pores. Pat dry with a clean towel.
8. Your skin will be soft and free of blackheads.
*If you have sensitive skin, test this on your wrist first.
hmm skin care
They wont completely go but you can lessen them. U need a good scrub..try shahnaz husain's shagrain..it reduced the black heads on my nose..i just have a few on the inner corners of my nose. use strips,scrubs and cleans..keep exfoliating and do some steaming as well.. all this helps..u have to keep going at it to get em off your face!

If nothing works, get a facial. It really worked for me.
Biore has the nose strips that you use after taking a shower that work really well. They have them for the nose, forehead and chin I think. They work really well for me! Unfortunately I don't think there really is a cure. There are many skin care products out there (my favorites are neutrogena, biore, burt's bees and clinique) and they can help clear your acne, but if you stop using them, you risk getting breakouts all over again. Don't just use a cleanser, try to use a scrub at least 3 times a week. There are some good scrubs out there even if you have sensitive skin and they'll help clear away some of that oil from your pores.
don't worry chap.Pin them out each time. and a stage will come when u will be relieved from the problem of black heads.Otherwise use a trick
get your face coverved with the thin paste of yellow soil bar.It is specially used in india for clearing the slates.get its paste on the face for nearlly 20-30minutes. and then wash your face.ok
i think biore strips work awesome and apricot scrub is good too!!
me also! i have tried everything. idk what can get rid of them. sorry.
also i have tried biore strips...they do not work at all!
