Answer 1

take a half inch wide piece of duct tape, press it over the black head, hold it down tight for a few seconds, then pull off....

Answer 2

I've heard of people using lemon joy dish soap to wash their face in and have never had a pimple or blackhead in their lives. But it has to be the lemon kind for whatever reason.  idk.  It's worth a shot though.  i've never (knock on wood) had any skin problems other than when I was a teen though so I can't really tell you of any others.

It takes patience to get rid of blackheads for good. Just remember not to squeeze them, scrub them, put oily make-up on them and do not use pore strips!! Squeezing especially will cause enlarged pores & irritate the skin. This will result in even more blackheads as enlarged pores can store more dirt & oil!! Please do NOT squeeze blackheads!

It's advisable to see what is working for other people with the same problem before attempting to buy anything. If it works for someone with tons of blackheads, it should work the same for you too, right?!

Home-made products may make matters worse as they are not sterilised and may contain harmful bacteria.

I know many people have been using the BLAKhead masque to get rid of unwanted blackheads especially on the nose area. It has worked very well for me & people that I know. The best thing is that it's gentle on the skin yet effective in removing blackheads. It contains charcoal ingredients that also absorbs excess oil from the pores.

See the pictures on the blog to believe...!

did the kettle trick not work?

Answer 5

The Body Shop make this brilliant little stick that you place over the blackhead and push gently. If the blackhead is ready to come out it should just pop forward through the hole, with no blood. Don't force it or you will be left with a permanent reminder of the blackhead (a pockmark.) They only cost 1.99 but make sure you sterilise it first.

Or just get a towel and a bucket of steaming hot water and stick your face over it for a few minutes to open the pore then apply very gentle pressure. Again don't force it or it will bleed and leave a scar.

To prevent them appearing make sure you use a non-clogging moisturiser to clean your skin every night, even if you don't wear makeup. I recommend Johnsons Baby Lotion but make sure you don't leave any on your face- run a clean piece of cotton wool over your face when you're finished cleansing to soak up any excess lotion.

And the old favourite, lots and lots of water. You can still eat chocolate and greasy food in moderate proportions. Its a myth that greasy food causes spots and blackheads, the only thing that causes these are excess grease in the skin which can be controlled with regular cleansing.

i don't have any home remedies, but the biore blackhead strips have worked really well. i found that their traditional ones didn't work as well as their ultra deep ones, but i did recently try the ultra deep ones and i thought that they worked pretty well. i also thought that they worked the best compared to other brand black head strips. additionally, the best way to get rid of black heads is to wash your face daily with a gentle cleanser such as spectro jel or cetaphil.
