Blackheads deep inside the pore?

i cant use strips because lie i said the blackheads are deep inside my pores and clean and clear didnt work. doe s anyone know what brand is good for these pores. i mean something that u have used and actually saw resuts.Blackheads deep inside the pore?
back before pro-active %26amp; biore strips %26amp; all that other stuff...





When I was a teenager, I would (1) boil water in a pan (2) turn stove OFF, (3) place a towel over my head %26amp; lean my face forward into the steam (1, 2 %26amp; 3 are the steps for steaming your face) then I would (3) mix table salt with water to form a paste (4) apply salt paste to oiliest, most blackheaded areas (for me it was the crease in my chin and my nose) and if needed lay down so that it won't fall off (5) alllow to dry, as it dries, it draws out the yucky stuff (6) after dries lean over a sink and run your hands under the water (7) use your damp hands to then scrub your facce with the dried salt (exfoliate) (8) rinse twice with water or more if needed to get all the salt off. When you wash/clean (like in the shower, etc...) then only use Dove Soap or a mild glycerine soap (like Pears)... do not use anything else on your skin. If your skin gets dry (this can be true of things like your legs or your elbows, if not your face at this point in your life) then use warm vegatable based oil (sweet almond oil, sunflower oil, extra light olive oil, grapeseed oil) you can warm it slightly by simply placing the jar in sunlight or drizzling it on your hands %26amp; then rub your hands together really fast to create a small amount of heat.. then simply run into your skin..... @ 30 I started to use warm oil on my entire body after every time I bathed while my skin was still warm as I found I was begining to get a little less oily with age.





If you will do this 1 time per week your complexion will improve. Then continue to do this 1 time per week until needed. I started this routine when I was @ 10 years old. The only ';soap'; ever used on any of my skin was either Dove or Pears. I will sometimes use Pears in the summertime when I am more oily. I was using this same routine even through my early 30s because I have very oily skin. At @ 35 I reduced the salt scrub down to 1 time per month. Now I am 41 and still use salt 1 time per month.





I have always had wonderful skin (thanks to both genetics and wonderful education early on how to take care of my skin). I have always had wonderful compliments on my skin %26amp; because my skin is so well cared for, I only use lipstick %26amp; mascarra... even in the 80s when heavy make-up was en vogue, I never really needed it %26amp; I never needed base make-up at all... thankfully, as it is so destructive to your skin %26amp; can actually be the root cause of clogged pores.





and ohhh, by the way.... my child is now 19.. my SON was properly educated about skin care; however, he thought Dove Soap %26amp; Salt Scrub was a ';girly thing';... so he wouldn't practice this routine... and was encouraged by his father that there were other products available... At 14 he began to be plagued with huge black-heads on face and his back... his father bought him every product on the market... they tried everything.. nothing seemed to work... and FINALLY he decided to try the routine that had been established by the women in my family since the 1800s.... it took about a month of diligent care to clear his skin up. now, at 19 he has beautiful skin and has no hesitation to advise his freinds on his skin care routine... and, yes, he uses either Dove or Pears along with the Salt Scrub.





to add.. seeing the comment below me.... yes, they say don't pinch them out.. I have done that in some rare cases of very large blackheads.. sometimes it is the only way to keep the blackhead from further stretching the pore %26amp; then scarring your skin... if you decide to ';pop'; then make sure your hands and under your fingernails are 100% scrubbed clean to avoid bacterial infectionBlackheads deep inside the pore?
well you can try toothpaste, if that doesn't work, i heard that head and shoulders shampoo works,or you can use cotton balls to dab salt water on it, and use honey 2-3 times a day to make the scaring go away, or you can rub ice on it for 5-10 minutes. I hope you fine something that works, if you do, tell me!
I have used my method and it works anytime...


You need baby oil and thing salt..





First rub oil and put table salk (not rock salt) and rub it against your sin..not too rough..and wash it...


This way it doesn't enlarge your pores and it doesn't infect it either...

Well to answer your question I have the same problem and I am now using proactive. It helps remove them as long as you do it two times a day. If it dryes up your skin only do it once a day. Make sure you do face masks to.If you then see results keep using it so you don't have to worry about them even coming back. An also Ive learned that if your skin is dry and you use cover up a lot, then start mixing your cover up with some lotion and it won't look so dry and it won't show much of that peeling skin that some people have (like i do). You know what I mean?
Try steaming open your pores first off:


1) Bring a pot of water to boil


2) Dump it into a heat-safe bowl


3) Take a big towel and cover your head and the bowl with it (forming a tent-Might want to pull your hair back for this)


4) Keep your face under the towel for 5 minutes.


5) Quickly go to the bathroom and try clean+clear blackhead scrub.


6) Repeat about 2-3 times a week





Good luck....this works really well for me!
even though lots say it doesnt work, proactiv could help. also, se a dermatologist for best results. you can ask your facilist what she recommends, too. Facials get deep inside the pore, so go monthy
i used a paste made of baking soda and water.





like trsust me, it works.. atleast for me.





leave it on for about 10 minutes, and rinse it off with hot water and then immately cold water. your blackheads will be gona and you will get EXTRA smooth skin. :)
They say not to do this, but I squeeze them out sometimes. But yes, hot water helps open your pores!
