Blackhead problems, please help?
I know that blackheads are created by oil and dirt on your skin but I need some help. I try to wash my face at least once a day but generally twice a day. I still have blackheads everywhere. They are all over my face. They are on my chin, upper lip, nose, and my cheeks. They are basically everywhere on my face except my forehead. I have tried the clean and clear blackhead eraser and although it does help, it doesn't help enough. I have also been to a dermatologist and I have medicine that helps clear up my acne. It doesn't really help with blackheads though. Does anyone know of a way I can get rid of the blackheads? I've tried so many things including face masks. Nothing seems to work. Are there any products that might help? Is there anything that I can easily make at home to use? I am not really looking for an overnight fix I am just looking for something that will gradually clear up my blackheads.

No need of overnight fix…
Clean your face with a toner like astrigent using cotton sponge, it cleans off the dirts…
Then scrub your face using apricot scrubber and then do facewash…
Once in a week, apply cucumber facepack…
These are simple steps…

Use Biore face strips once a week, they work great for me :)

I really do not think that you should be dying your heads black. Talk to mom and dads about this first. Hairs color is a major lifetime desicision. from your very descriptive pic here on the interwebbed compute I can tell that you look better as a blonde. Ok?

Depending on your age…low dose birth control pills may have an effect on troublesome skin,stress could be a factor also.I use a cotton balll soaked with witch hazel to use on my face to help prevent flair ups.

The only thing I’ve had work was letting my dermatologist do a peel and remove them. They are very hard to get rid of. It’s worth the money, insurance doesn’t cover it :( Good luck!

make sure that you’re moisturising thoroughly after everytime you wash your face, the thicker the lotion the better because this is going to stop the dirt getting into your pores so easily, but also wait maybe 5 minutes after you’ve washed your face for the pores to tighten before you moisturize or else its gonna sting.
you should probably look for a night cream because they are the heaviest moisturizers, body shop smoothing night creme and sisley night creme or decleor rose one (looks like a balm in a transparent frosted container) although sisley is most expensive, then decleor and finally body shop cheapest, i would reccomend sisley.
For daily use in the morning or throughout I use johnsons 24hr moisture or nivea and also sudocreme is very good for healing damaged/spotty/acned skin.
And for the washing if you wanted suggestions; olay pore refining mousse (purple aerosol can) has very fine microbeads in the wash and is really gentle, cos scrubbing away DOES NOT help at all.
hope this helped and good luck.

To get to the root of the problem, you need to use a tretinoin cream, which is prescribed by a dermatologist. You should be washing your face twice a day.

This is something you may want to look at. I heard it teaches you the root causes of blackhead and acne. I hope this helps.
