Phisoderm (spelling?) it deep cleans really well without drying out your skin.

I use salt. Sounds mad, i know, but it keeps my face really clear of blemishes and blackheads.

I'D BREAK THEM TO LET THE PUSS OUT, THEN WASH WITH SOAP-N-WATER. THEN DRY AND PUT ALOE VERA SKIN LOTION ON TWICE A DAY FOR A WEEK, BUT EACH TIME BEFORE BED WASH IT OFF.

It is best to have a licensed esthetician or a dermatologist remove blackheads. That is as good as the most safe and effective way can get. However, if you must remove them and insist on skipping a visit to see a skin care specialist, her are a few things to ty:


-Use a facecloth with warm water to soften the hardened oil. Wrap a tissue around your fingers and add pressure around the area. This will insure that you won´t have fingernail marks on your skin.

-It is most important to keep the skin scrupulously clean.

-Use an oatmeal or almond mask throughly to cleanse your face. Mix either oatmeal or almond powder with enough rose water to make a soft paste that spreads easily on the skin. Rub it on your skin with your fingertips, paying special attention the problem areas. Leave to dry for about 15 minutes and then rinse off with cold water.

-Apply undiluted lemon juice, two to three times a day, on the affected areas.

-A solution made out of one and a half cups of hot water and half a tablespoon of boric powder is an ideal concoction for blackheads, Saturate a face napkin in this hot solution and press on to the skin, repeat twice. Extract blackheads carefully with a blackhead remover and sterilized cottonwool. Pat on an astrigent.

-Warm a little honey and apply on the trouble spots. Wash off after 10-15 minutes.

Try out these home remedies for cleaning out your blackheads yourself or get in touch with a qualified skin care prefessional.
