Surest way to get rid of blackheads?

[Anonymous]

I have quite a few blackheads on my face and nose and I've been wanting to get rid of them but I haven't been able to do so yet. What is the best and surest way to get rid of them? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

for the ones on your nose you could get blackhead strips at pretty much any drugstore. they are strips shaped so you can stick them to your nose with water and after they harden you rip it off really fast and the blackheads come off :3 I think there are generic brands but there's also Biore that has them. just look in the skin care aisle.

Thanks for the advice. Any advice for the ones around my cheek bones?

[livi23]

hmm cheeks :/ probably wash your face, then put a warm wash cloth on your cheeks to loosen up the dirt and then just squeeze them out I would say. Or use the strips on your cheeks as well, that should work too. :3

Alright, thanks again. I appreciate the help.

[livi23]

Try blackhead strips. Biore works well for me and they seem to really pull out a good amount. Exfoliating scrubs can also help remove excess dirt and oils that because blackheads in the first place. Try steaming your face in a towel soaked in hot water. Use the strips afterward to help remove even more blackheads.

That sounds like it should work, thanks. Can you use blackhead strips on blackheads around your cheek area?

[kasiecakes]

They make ones specifically for the nose area, but I've also seen them for the forehead and cheeks.

[Asker]

That sounds good, thanks. I'll check them out.

No problem. Also, don't use them more than once a week if you do buy some. They can be irritating. Opt for a gentle exfoliation cleanser daily, and use the strips only when necessary.

Alright, thanks for all this advice. I'm sure it's going to come handy.

[kasiecakes]

Np, anytime. I'm a skincare junkie. Message me anytime about stuff like that.

[Asker]

Lol Awesome, I'll be sure to look for you when I need any more skin care advice.

Wait until they're able to be squeezed out. That's the only way to get them out and after a while, they'll be easy to get out.

[Asker]

They just...come out to where you're able to squeeze them out?

[Alanaaa]

Mine do. They eventually start to come to the surface

[Asker]

You just pluck them out from there or what?

[Alanaaa]

Yeah. Or squeeze them out. They loosen up over time and are easier to get out , without ruining your skin

[Asker]

Okay, well thank you.
