Your ment to be able to squeeze them out. But mine are so stubborn and no matter how much squeezing and pricking i give them, all i end up woth is a sore nose:frown:


The best way to remove stubborn blackheads is to do the following:

1. Cleanse your face and make sure all make-up is gone

2. Boil a kettle of water, pour it in the sink, chuck a towel over your head and let the vapours from the water open up your pores

3. After a few minutes your pores will be open and you can gently squeeze out the blackhead, try using tissues over your nails so not to leave any marks

4. Once they are all out you should lightly wash your face again and then splash it with cold water to close the pores

5. Moisturise as normal etc etc

"While it's true that only a tiny proportion of the water you drink goes directly to your skin, all that water will be helping to improve your circulation and flush out toxins - which in turn will have a direct bearing on your skin's radiance and clarity."

True, but spots aren't caused by toxins.

Do anyone know any remedies such as creams/gel/face- wash to prevent or get rid off blackheads? Especially for people with oily skin.


I have blackheads all over my nose. Always have and when I pick them they just come back its weird. I have never and will never have acne though thank Bob :biggrin:
I have blackheads, particularly on my nose so I went out and bought some Neutrogena clear pore treatment (only about £3 from Boots). I've used it every night for about a month and there's definitely been some improvement, although I still have to have the odd squeeze :p:

Cos when I pick them they don't go, they come back. It reminds me of that song 'I'm too sexy for my blackheads' hehe.

I don't have acne I mean, like huge outbreaks. I get the odd spot, usually on my back though...cos I'm a sweaty guy :wink:

That's the same stuff I use. It contains salicylic acid which does...something or other.

Is that from experience that it gets rid of them.... maybe a trip to the doctors is in order!


Yep, it is from experience. The Differin is good stuff for clearing blackheads (used to have loads around my nose)

Only problem is, once you stop using it - they do tend to come back again eventually.
