Question:
Tips for Black Heads?
2010-01-27 18:10:33 UTC
I always seem to have black heads on my chest and my chin. I've tried so many products and routines and squeezing but they just won't come out! Currently I steam my face, apply a facial cleanser and then apply a cold cloth to my face to close up my pores. This seems to keep acne away but it hasn't helped my blackheads at all. So does anyone know of anything that will get rid of EXTREMELY persistent black heads? Also do black heads just simply go away and disappear in time?

Blackheads are difficult to get rid of. Blackheads are not dirt, but rather a build up of sebum and skin cells that clogs the pores, then oxidizes (turns black).



You can try a skin scrub, but they can only do so much. Resist the temptation to squeeze them, you'll only create more problems. The only person who can safely decongest the pores is a dermatologist or trained esthetician. Facials are expensive, but worth it (men get them, too!)



As a last resort, try applying hydrogen peroxide to the areas. This will NOT get rid of blackheads, but it will bleach them out so they are not as noticeable.

Honestly i dont use products on my face i use regular anti bacterial soap, trust me i had dozens on black heads and broke out every once in a while and now my skin is amazing just be sure to use hydrating cream because the soap will dry it put but it works just try it, it not expensive at all.

I use baking soda and rubbing alcohol together to make a paste.

1st: I open my pores with warm water

2nd: Rub the B.S./R.A. paste on your face in a circular motion

3rd: Rinse it off with cold water to close your pores



My skin is pretty awesome. I always get compliments about it.(I hope i didn't just jinx it lol)
