    I have quite a lot of black heads. Thing is, its stuck under thin layer of skin and I have to find myself squeezing them out as they settle in the skin.

    u can use a face wash thats good for clearing black heads.. eg...Clean and Clear for Blackheads...

    or u can try the Tea Tree Oil Nose strips...those are particularly good...think of it as a mini wax plaster thing...
    u just wet ur nose or damp enough so the strip sticks....wait for it to dry then pull it off...
    and it gets rid of most blackheads in one go...

    Do you have a link or picture?
    I've tried biores one. But it was way too sticky, and didn't help. I realized for my nose, my skin would kind of over lap the black heads and I would have to squeeze.

    but if there is skin over lapping the blackheads then try steam ur face first then wet it and apply the nose strip on..

    well are there any brands in the US that help with clearing black heads?


    Also @ Project D...

    squeezing is not good cos sometimes it can leave a scar if u dont clear it properly...

    i'm thinking if u cant get a good face scrub....u can try making ur own...

    eg....whisking an egg then dipping tissue into it then place it on ur face and wait till it hardens...then removing it
    it should help...though i havent tried it before...

    lol...what kinda face care brands do u have in US?
    have u looked around in shops?
     
  14. constant squeezing or using a cleanser that's too foamy can irritate the skin causing more sebum secretion resulting more black heads... just make sure u cleans properly with a towel or sponges, exfoliate regularly and use a clay mask on the effected area around twice a week

    i've used white colgate toothpaste w/o mint and that seemed to clear out a lot of the blackheads that i had on my nose....the side effect of this method is that the vapors where making my eyes itch and tear up
     
  16. what dawn said..... lol that is what my exgf would do for me.....
     
  17. awwww... that's cute... i thought most girls would grab a blackhead remover n squeeze their bf's nose till they cry :naughty:

    anyway if anyone really wants to squeeze them make sure u steam ur face first... if u don't have a steamer at home u can jump into a hot shower first n then do the extracting...

    Hi ,
    Try this........I will help you to get rid of Blackheads..

    Natural Blackhead Solutions
    There are many natural solutions to remove blackheads from your face. Focus these solutions in trouble areas and especially around the T-zone, known to be an area prone to blackheads.

    Fenugreek

    Natural beauty experts claim this is one of the most powerful anti-blackhead herbs. Make a paste out of water and fresh crushed fenugreek leaves. Apply this paste to your face for 10 – 15 minutes and rinse with warm water. Repeat every night before bed for a blackhead free face.

    Honey

    Warm some honey and place it on trouble areas for 10 – 15 minutes. Wash off. Honey is a well known and effective method of removing blackheads from the skin.

    Baking Soda & Water

    Combine 3 tablespoons of baking soda with 3 tablespoons of water. Rub this solution on your skin for a few minutes, and rinse with warm water for effective blackhead extraction.

    Lemon Juice

    Use lemon juice directly from the lemon on areas affected with blackheads two to three times a day. The juice will help tighten your pores and make the environment of the face less prone to blackheads. Limes will work just as well if no lemons are available.


    Rose & Oatmeal Mask

    This treatment is great to get rid of the blackheads you already have and prevent future break outs. Mix oatmeal powder with rose water to make a paste. Spread the paste on your face with fingertips and allow it to sit for 15 minutes before rinsing. Focus on the T-zone and other problems areas like the chin. Rinse this blackhead removing mask off with cold water. The cold water closes the newly cleaned pores, protecting against future blackheads.


    Potatoes

    Grated raw potatoes can be used to treat all kinds of skin problems including pimples, wrinkles, whiteheads and blackheads. Pack potatoes directly on problem areas to extract blackheads.


    Radish Seeds

    A paste made out of ground radish seeds and water applied to the face right on the site of a blackhead is an effective blemish remover. Leave the paste on for about 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
    Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!

    put a couple drops of eucalyptus oil or lavender into hot water , steam your face and then the blackheads should come out pretty easily. Shouldnt be any scarring cos you are not poking it.
    lbkheads need to come out otherwise they might harden up, and cause bumps on your face forever and ever...

    Just exfoliate the skin. Or steam your face and squeeze them out which would make it less painful.
