If you are overcleansing your face (for most people that's twice a day, but if you're cleansing more than 2x then you're definitely overdoing it) then you're actually telling your skin to produce more oil. If you stimulate any sebum-producing gland, it... produces sebum. Some of your problem may be right there.
Also chemical treatments like salicylic acid are TOUGH on skin - for some people that's what they need, but drying chemicals may be all wrong for you. Also, try cleansing and using toner AT NIGHT before bed to get rid of the beating your skin takes during the day, and freshen with a toner made for oily skin in the morning instead of using the cleanser. Avoid alcohol-based toners, as they're very harsh - try something with tea tree in it, as tea tree is great on oily skin and also antiseptic.
If you want to try a more holistic approach, try masks that contain lots of rassoul mud (incredibly deep cleansing, excellent on blackheads), fresh green grapes or garlic for powerful astringents, and lavender as an excellent sebum balancer. I don't know about generic over the counter stuff, but Lush (brit cosmetic company) sells amazing fresh face masks that can really do the trick.How can i close my open pores and get rid of blackheads?
Acne is something that just comes with adolescence. Just do your best to lower your oil output on your face. Don't go overboard, though. What I did was use Cetaphil facewash to remove the oil twice a day. You could go to a dermatologist to get a prescription for some medication. Eat well, maintain a minimal-stress life, and just take care of your skin. It'll go away with time. If you live in a humid environment, then you'll be in a bit of trouble.
If you have severe acne, don't take the sauna approach to try to fix it. It really doesn't help. Dermatologists don't like you doing that.
Fill a sink with boiling water and stick your head over it's surface (careful not to get too close) and put a towel over it to keep the steam in. This will expose you to hot steam which in turn opens your pours. Keep yourself exposed to this for 8-10 minutes. Then after wipe away the excess, or squeeze it out. Do this every other day for clean, healthy skin.
See a specialized skin doctor also
known as a dermatologist.

What facial product or facial mask can/do I use to get rid of blackheads, wrinkles, and open pores?
I have blackheads and wrinkles that I want to get rid of. I recently struggled with acne and for acne-post marks I was told to use scarzone, which I will. But now I need help getting rid of blackheads and wrinkles. I can use to get rid of these? I prefer facial mask consisting of fruits and food products or natural ingredients but I will also resort to a chemical product if that is the case. I also have a problem with open pores. What can I do about these? What facial mask. Thank you for your information and if you are giving me a recipe please include the ingredients along with the amount needed. Thank you for your help!What facial product or facial mask can/do I use to get rid of blackheads, wrinkles, and open pores?
No products are going to give you the results you want. And many make problems worse. I researched/experimented for a long time and found this was the only truly effective safe way to permanently reduce pores and rid face of blackheads. You quickly reduce them by quite vigorous massage using an essential oil - olive and coconut are excellent. (See USER'S happy response below).For acne prone skins use clove or rosewood - have been used by specialists to treat and cure acne. They do not clog or cause breakouts. You first flex or tighten skin by tightening face muscles so that you will not be pulling or stressing skin. Use finger tips and front and sides of fingers depending where on face you massage. A circular motion will not work. Do over and over firmly and they start shrinking right away. For quickest results do each day for 15 to 30 min.(Doesn't have to be all in one session).They will vanish in as little as 2 to 3 days. This is also perfect safe treatment to rid face of acne marks.and works wonders on lessening and preventing wrinkles (I can send you emails from users who swear by it). Using the oil you rub the marks and wrinkles over and over and the rubbing friction simply rubs them away. For best results do rubbing for ten minutes several times a day. You will be amazed at it's effectiveness.If massage entire face you will quickly have a radiant, tight, firm, totally blemish free, healthy skin and you will not need to use any other product or treatment ever again - not even moisturizers. Oils are perfect natural moisturizers.

Hi:
My name is Michelle and I am a Registered Nurse who specializes in skin care.
Let me preface my response to you that there are no products for wrinkles. Reason being is that wrinkles have to do with muscle loss and a lack of elasticity caused by a loss of collagen as we age. The only solutions for wrinkles are skin fillers through injections or plastic surgery.
Now, if you are refering to lines than there are products you use that stimulate elasticity and nourish the skin.
Now having specialized in skin care for 12 years I have a great suggestion for you and furthermore the solution for the kind of products you're looking for.
First of all, you should consult with a professional and you can do it FOR FREE on this website: www.aboutyourskincare.com
The wonderful thing about this website is that you can ask any skin related questions you have free of charge and you will get a skin care expert/physician to answer your questions usually within 24 hours.
Furthemore, they have the best organic products derived from fruit, vegetables and vitamins. They have the best acne fighting skin products.
For the last 12 years I have had my patients use their products and the results have been consistent and wonderful. They have products specifically blended for your specific skin issue.
Good Luck!

Desperately trying to clear my pores and get rid of blackheads, anything left undone?
I have really ugly skin, and no matter what I cannot rid my skin of blackheads. I am fine with an occasional pimple, in fact pimples are the least of my worries. Under my eyes, my nose, and my forehead are havens for blackheads, and no matter what I cannot get rid of them.
I've tried:
Manual Extractions
Galvanic Facials
Proactiv/AcneFree
Oxy Anti-Acne Pads
Benzoyl Peroxide Creams
Tazorac
Warm Honey
I know I can look wonderful if I can get rid of this one problem, as nothing else about me is severely flawed, but I am out of ideas, and my skin has practically ruined any sense of self-esteem in me. I'm sick of it being like this! All I want is to remove my blackheads, and hide my deep pores, is there anything left to attempt?
Here are some pictures:

I have had acne before but it was not so serious. (I dont mean to offend)
What I did was Drink Water. (I know its like ';I need something good'; but wait)
I didn't just drink a glass. I drank a lot of water. And I mean A LOT!
So just pick a day where you home stuck doing nothing, because you gonna pee A LOT!
Drink glass after glass after glass or until you cant seriously take another drop of water.
That will wash away all the toxins and junk that causes it.
Then after you are not full of water DRINK AGAIN.
It really helped me. And after a while you can actually drink a lot more whater than you did before so drink drink drink.
And well I see that the only problem is you forehead. Your cheeks are not that bad, i dont really seee bumps but redness, and the water will help.
Also try Vick's Vapor rub.
Put on your pimples.
It also helped me.
How long have you been struggling with acne?
Good luck.Desperately trying to clear my pores and get rid of blackheads, anything left undone?
Ok I would reccomend taking a shower, and the heat from your shower will open up your pores as soon as you get out wash your face. So the cleanser will clean deep down in your pores and rinse with cold water to close them so it will keep dirt from going deep down in your pores to cause more blackheads. And I think clean and clear has came out with a black head eraser.Im not sure if it works tho. Hope I helped Good luck! =)

How do I get rid of blackheads? And is using a pore strip a good idea?
Effective Tips to get rid of blackheads
Exfoliate the blackhead prone area 3-4 times a week using facial exfoliators and scrubs. Here is a good SCRUB for you to help you to get rid of blackheads
Use creams containing AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Fruit acids) like glyco-creams that will clear away any dead skin cells and ';expose'; the blackhead. Use the AHA's every 3 days or so.
Keep your hair away from your face. Greasy hair and skin go together, and hair can spread infection.
Sunshine or ultra-violet light encourages skin peeling, and so helps to clear blocked pores. So sunbathing or use of sun-beds in moderation can be helpful.
Avoid washing the face with soaps more than twice a day. Instead wash your face often with plain water splashes.
Often use a mask with a clay base such as ZIRH's Clay Mask
If blackheads look ready to pop out, you could try removing them gently by using a blackhead extractor. This is a neat little instrument with a hole at one end, available from chemists. Pressure around the blackhead helps it to pop out through the hole. Also, Pore cleanser strips (blackhead extractor) for removal of blackheads. are highly recommended for the treatment/removal of blackheads. Using them once per week will leave your pores cleaner and smaller.
Otherwise use your fingers. Steam your face first to soften both the skin and the material blocking the pores. Then wrap the fingers in tissues and gently roll against either side of the blackhead. If it won't budge easily, leave well alone, as too much pressure will bruise and break the skin, making your face red and blotchy for days to come, and possibly leaving tiny broken veins. Finish by applying a medicated cream to the empty pore.
Only ever squeeze a spot with a definite head that looks about to burst - pressure on an unready infected spot spreads bacteria below the skin's surface, infecting the surrounding tissue. Bad spots need a doctor's advice, and he may suggest antibiotic or even hormone therapy.How do I get rid of blackheads? And is using a pore strip a good idea?
Tips to remove blackheads
http://www.askaquery.com/question/Tips-t…How do I get rid of blackheads? And is using a pore strip a good idea?
pore strips work good. Wash with hot soapy water, rinse with cold.
yes they work fantastic...there's also a blackhead scrb from clean and clear that works good..use the strip once a week
this may sound gross, but after washing ur face with regular soap, put a dot of tooth paste on each one, it may burn for a minute or two, after like 5 minutes you can wash it off, try it with regular zits too.
g'luck!
well it depends on what type of skin you have. Do you have oily, normal, dry or combination?
Then depending on that answer go to a beauty store like ULTA(if there is one where you live) or any beauty store.
There are usually the little self test strips there to see what type of skin you have. GOOD LUCK!!cosmetics

What is the best way to get rid of blackheads and minimize your pores?
Going to the beach soon... which means no make-up while on the sand, in the waves, or in the pool. My skin doesn't break out a lot, an occasional pimple here and there, but I do have blackheads on my chin and nose.
What are the best products for clearing up blackheads? Are there any out there that will clear up blackheads and minimize your pores?
Any home remedies to try, with or without the products?
I usually just wash my face with soap and water, but I've started using Noxzema salicylic acids pads and their citrus face wash. It's clearing up the two pimples I had on my chin, but if anything, I think it's making my blackheads more visible.
So, for another question (haha, sorry), do blackheads usually look worse before they get better?
I've seen the blackhead eraser by Clean and Clear on TV, does it work?
Thanks a bundle in advance!What is the best way to get rid of blackheads and minimize your pores?
washing your face with soap is bad as the soap blocks your pores.
i use clean and clear blackhead minimising cleanser. its jst a case of putting it on in the morning and at night, no need to rinse. its really good.
i also have started steaming my face once a week, and in the bath i use 'simple moisturising facial wash' which is completely soap free and minimises spots
i would give both of them products a try, they worked for me
Good Luck :DWhat is the best way to get rid of blackheads and minimize your pores?
just don't touch them nor pop them.
because once you do you get MORE.
if you leave them alone and let them
run there course they will go away in time.
trust me thats what i do and i rarely ever
get zits, pimples or anything :)
hope i helped, %26amp; good luck.
I HIGHLY recommend using Biore Pore Strips. They work incredibly well, and well worth the money.
http://www.biore.com/usa/products/pore_s鈥?/a>
Ug dont you hate blackheads?! I get them across my nose and on my cheeks sometimes. I have been using this stuff in a little orange bottle (but it comes in a small orange and silver box) that I got because I was getting a pimple and I have had blackheads. Its called AcneFree Terminator. Its for pimples AND blackheads! Those little strips you stick on your nose them pull off did not work for me. But this stuff is working pretty well. My pimples disappear much faster and my blackheads and starting to get smaller. I also use a blackhead scrub 3-4 times a week. If you cant find the thing im talking about just look in the face wash isle for something that clears pimples and/or blackheads and buy a cheap blackhead scrub.
Getting rid of blackheads is a difficult task. And there are many methods out there that simply don't work.
For example...
......squeezing, steaming and popping.
But here's a method that do work. It's called exfoliation. Once you start to treat it, it becomes less visible.
Exfoliation is the removal of the top layer of skin (the epidermis). And is effective for almost every type of facial skin care problem.
But here's how exfoliation can get rid of blackheads......
Blackheads form when sebum (natural oils produced by the skin) gets trapped in the skin's pores. And if these pores are partly open, then oxygen reacts with the trapped sebum, turning it black in color.
Now to remove these blackheads requires you to ';un-roof'; the heads of the clogged pores.
And guess what......
......that's exactly what exfoliation does when removing the epidermis of the skin.
And once the head of the pore is removed, the trapped sebum can be taken out via cleansers and toners.
So how do you exfoliate?
Well you can visit a doctor's office to have a chemical peel, laser peel or a microdermabrasion procedure.
But I must warn you that these procedures are expensive. In fact a chemical peel procedure can cost up to $300.
But there's a cheaper way if you're interested.
You can purchase the at-home versions of the chemical peels and/or microdermabrasion creams. These work well although you'll take a little longer to get the results your looking for.
However, once you've removed the top layer of skin (the epidermis), you'll easily get that trapped sebum out of your pores.
To minimize your pores, first start with a good cleanser. Then wipe your face with a cotton ball soaked in a toner.
This process should extract all the dirt and debris from your skin.
The cleanser and toner should contain glycolic acid that is made up of alpha-hydroxy or beta-hydroxy acids.
During the day your pores accumulate sebum (oily substance) secreted by the subcutaneous (oil) glands along with debris.
This encourages your pores to grow in size. What you'll need is an agent to dissolve the sebum and old dead skin cells.
Glycolic acid,fruit acids and salicylic acid are excellent choices.
I recommend that after cleansing and toning at night, use an acid peel pad to deep clean pores and exfoliate.
Hope this info helps, all the best:)
i just use Cleanse %26amp; Polish by Liz Earle, if you use it with the Muslin Cloth it gently exfoliates - getting rid of them and KEEPING them off unlike the blackhead clearing things because as soon as you stop using them they will come back!
Also you could do the following for a quick treatment;
~Steam face with facial steamer with a touch of Tea Tree Oil added to the water
~Buy a blackhead extractor http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/_en/_gb/cat鈥?/a>
~GENTLY push down on the skin until the blackhead 'pops'; out
~wipe off and repeat untill you are blackhed free!
also Biore Pore strips are good- check this out-http://img.makeupalley.com/1/1/0/8/67641鈥?/a> thats all the gunk that came out of one womans pores- GROSS!! but proof that they work lol
hope i helped :]

I usually just wash my face with soap and water, but I've started using Noxzema salicylic acids pads and their citrus face wash. It's clearing up the two pimples I had on my chin, but if anything, I think it's making my blackheads more visible.
So, for another question (haha, sorry), do blackheads usually look worse before they get better?
I've seen the blackhead eraser by Clean and Clear on TV, does it work?
Thanks a bundle in advance!What is the best way to get rid of blackheads and minimize your pores?
washing your face with soap is bad as the soap blocks your pores.
i use clean and clear blackhead minimising cleanser. its jst a case of putting it on in the morning and at night, no need to rinse. its really good.
i also have started steaming my face once a week, and in the bath i use 'simple moisturising facial wash' which is completely soap free and minimises spots
i would give both of them products a try, they worked for me
Good Luck :DWhat is the best way to get rid of blackheads and minimize your pores?
just don't touch them nor pop them.
because once you do you get MORE.
if you leave them alone and let them
run there course they will go away in time.
trust me thats what i do and i rarely ever
get zits, pimples or anything :)
hope i helped, %26amp; good luck.
I HIGHLY recommend using Biore Pore Strips. They work incredibly well, and well worth the money.

Ug dont you hate blackheads?! I get them across my nose and on my cheeks sometimes. I have been using this stuff in a little orange bottle (but it comes in a small orange and silver box) that I got because I was getting a pimple and I have had blackheads. Its called AcneFree Terminator. Its for pimples AND blackheads! Those little strips you stick on your nose them pull off did not work for me. But this stuff is working pretty well. My pimples disappear much faster and my blackheads and starting to get smaller. I also use a blackhead scrub 3-4 times a week. If you cant find the thing im talking about just look in the face wash isle for something that clears pimples and/or blackheads and buy a cheap blackhead scrub.
Getting rid of blackheads is a difficult task. And there are many methods out there that simply don't work.
For example...
......squeezing, steaming and popping.
But here's a method that do work. It's called exfoliation. Once you start to treat it, it becomes less visible.
Exfoliation is the removal of the top layer of skin (the epidermis). And is effective for almost every type of facial skin care problem.
But here's how exfoliation can get rid of blackheads......
Blackheads form when sebum (natural oils produced by the skin) gets trapped in the skin's pores. And if these pores are partly open, then oxygen reacts with the trapped sebum, turning it black in color.
Now to remove these blackheads requires you to ';un-roof'; the heads of the clogged pores.
And guess what......
......that's exactly what exfoliation does when removing the epidermis of the skin.
And once the head of the pore is removed, the trapped sebum can be taken out via cleansers and toners.
So how do you exfoliate?
Well you can visit a doctor's office to have a chemical peel, laser peel or a microdermabrasion procedure.
But I must warn you that these procedures are expensive. In fact a chemical peel procedure can cost up to $300.
But there's a cheaper way if you're interested.
You can purchase the at-home versions of the chemical peels and/or microdermabrasion creams. These work well although you'll take a little longer to get the results your looking for.
However, once you've removed the top layer of skin (the epidermis), you'll easily get that trapped sebum out of your pores.
To minimize your pores, first start with a good cleanser. Then wipe your face with a cotton ball soaked in a toner.
This process should extract all the dirt and debris from your skin.
The cleanser and toner should contain glycolic acid that is made up of alpha-hydroxy or beta-hydroxy acids.
During the day your pores accumulate sebum (oily substance) secreted by the subcutaneous (oil) glands along with debris.
This encourages your pores to grow in size. What you'll need is an agent to dissolve the sebum and old dead skin cells.
Glycolic acid,fruit acids and salicylic acid are excellent choices.
I recommend that after cleansing and toning at night, use an acid peel pad to deep clean pores and exfoliate.
Hope this info helps, all the best:)
i just use Cleanse %26amp; Polish by Liz Earle, if you use it with the Muslin Cloth it gently exfoliates - getting rid of them and KEEPING them off unlike the blackhead clearing things because as soon as you stop using them they will come back!
Also you could do the following for a quick treatment;
~Steam face with facial steamer with a touch of Tea Tree Oil added to the water
~Buy a blackhead extractor http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/_en/_gb/cat鈥?/a>
~GENTLY push down on the skin until the blackhead 'pops'; out
~wipe off and repeat untill you are blackhed free!
also Biore Pore strips are good- check this out-http://img.makeupalley.com/1/1/0/8/67641鈥?/a> thats all the gunk that came out of one womans pores- GROSS!! but proof that they work lol
hope i helped :]
Do pore strips that you put on your nose to get rid of blackheads actually work?
Yep :]Do pore strips that you put on your nose to get rid of blackheads actually work?
It depends on your blackheads I think. I tried one one that a long time ago and it didn't do anything plus it left my nose a bit sticky and bumpy.
I tried again last year and it worked for some of them but not all and it started to irritate my skin, so be careful if you have sensitive skin.
I recommend apriot scrub by st. ives....love this stuffDo pore strips that you put on your nose to get rid of blackheads actually work?
when i used it, it only got rid of some, but it doesnt fully get rid of all of the gunk in your pores
the best way to use it is after you steam your face (like after a shower/bath) then your pores are open, then after you take the pore strip off, use scrub to wash any other remains out.
Yeah. You just put the sticky strip on your nose and peel it off after about 5 minutes. You can see all the blackheads it ripped off on the strip. It doesnt peel them all off the first time, so you have to do it a few times. Hope I helped. [ :
it depends on how many and how deep, big the black heads are. When I use them I can not tell a difference. It looks like i have as many as I did, however I see some on the strip, but not visible difference on face- hope this helps
This at home remedy should help. Rub oatmeal paste on face,leave it to dry for 15 minutes and scrub well before washing off with cold water. Check out http://useinfo-blackhead.blogspot.com/ for more useful tips to control blackheads.
For me, they don't work.. I find that sometimes they hurt and sometimes they don't.. Sometimes they leave a stickie residue and sometimes it doesn't.
Boots have good quality ones. You can put over your nose, or cut a strip and place on your chin.
It works for some but not others. I prefer exfolaiting, got rid of my blackheads within a week or two! Exfoliate 1-2 times a week.
No - waste of time and money. Steam your face over a bowl of boiling water, cleanse, tone and moisturise and you'll stay beautiful!
i found they work temporarily (or maybe i just started a bit too late) - although I am a fella %26amp; i work on a building site - so its probably all wasted time %26amp; effort for me anyway lol
yes, but it wont get rid of all of them but it gets rid of some of them...
No, they are way over rated. The little things you see sticking up are some of the glue that seeps into your pores.
yeah you can see them all on the strip after which is good..
if you like that sort of thing....
Don't know. You will have to try them or get your friend to try. See for yourself. =] They probably do.
They get rid of the superficial blackheads. For the deeper ones try acid peal.
I tried them on me but they dont work for me depends on how bad is your situation.
Not really. If they do work, the plug comes out and you end up with spots instead. :(
Yeah, sometimes a bit rough on my skin though.
Yea but new ones appear after a while
depends on the brand, clean and clear to me is the best i've tried so far.
Yes they work.
yes but your best not to buy the cheep ones
YES! they do.I've used them before.
yes. but try ';pure pores';
