Blackheads in erm...unusual places

One for the girls I think...lads look away now! :cool:

Does anyone else (yep I confess...I'm not ashamed lol) get blackheads in non standard places....particularly on your tahtahs and inner thighs?!

Any tips for getting rid of them? Not like you can pap a blackhead strip down there or anything and can't imagine get a "facial" on my puppies to be honest :biggrin:

Get an exfoliating body scrub and use it about 3 times a week on the problem areas in the shower or bath (stand up if you bathe rather than shower) It's really effective and gets rid of all the dead cells that cause blackheads to form. In fact you might as well use it on your whole body regularly to prevent blackheads and dead skin cells building up.
I use a palmolive smoothing sugar scrub which smells lovely and works quite well. Dove also do one which is really creamy and great for dry/sensitive skin. Clean and Clear do a spot fighting body wash too.
Also to get rid of any remaining blackheads...when you're in the bath/shower and your skin is wet and warm (so your pores are open), squeeze them out with your fingers. Easy peasy.

I do as well and they p me off no end. I can't seem to get rid of them because the Clearasil/other spot cleary body washes make me break out even worse. EVIL!
