blackheads

[oth_girl]

 hey everyone what would you recommend for removing of blackheads from the nose? my nose is covered in blackheads..none of them are raised but there are tons and they bother me. i have used the biore strips and they dont do much for me. i have also used the neutrogena grapefruit wash thing and that didnt do much either

did you use the regular biore strips or the ultra?

[oth_girl]

regular i believe...?

[spike0313]

in my opinion the ultra work alot better

[meximanian]

Are the ultra the same material as the regular? I used biore strips when they first came out (back in the day) and it was a paper material that really stuck and worked so well. But then they switched to their cloth-like material and it sucks so bad...

I use the biore strips after I shower to make sure my pores are open, and then use a cleansing masque with clay to deeply exfoliate.

have you tried oil cleansing? I have super-duper oily skin, but this really works

more info, what is oil cleansing and does it remove the oil shine from your face.

That sounds really interesting. :D Would vegetable oil work? That's all I have, of course... Bleh. But it really reduces the oils?

OCM.

I can't personally vouch for this method since I have yet to try it out, but maybe it's worth a try?

i've done this and it worked alright. but let me say...the gelatin smells SOOO BAD. at least mind did. it made me nauseous.

[darkanddusty]

Eeek, good to know. I'd never heard of Knox gelatin before I saw this.

I saw a youtube where the woman spread a very thin layer of non-toxic (very important) children's glue on her nose and it apparently worked great. I've been tempted to try it. No need for a strip, either - you just let it dry and peel.
