FYI.. DON'T use the apricot scrub. I am a makeup artist, and I know that apricot scrub is extremely rough on skin, and is a cheap way to slough off dead skin. If your looking for a blackhead cure, your never going to get permanent results because once your pores get enlarged (i'm not talking about when your in the hot shower and the humidity causes it) they never change in size. You can reduce the look of them by using certain creams that you can find at makeup counters, but a quick fix would probably be a Biore strip. But I've used them and it seems like they are cleaning, but they are jsut taking away the surface dirt. The real dirt is still inside. Try to get a good cleanser and toner, look around and sample them at different make-up counters. A cleanser is what cleans the skin at night, dirt or makeup, and a toner is used after the skin is cleansed, and takes off remaining dirt , and helps skin regain its normal pH so skin doesn't get too oily or dry. Then if that doesn't work, try a gentle scrub. Clinique is a good start if you want good stuff on a decent budget. They have packages with them all in one.Is there a mask that takes away blackheads?? If so what is it??
get a professional european facial.....awesome!Is there a mask that takes away blackheads?? If so what is it??
just use the nose or forehead strips. . .they work great
Origins has a great charcoal mask ';Clear Improvement'; that is made to get rid of black heads, it's great -$20.00
clean and clear
Try Biore warming anti-blackhead cleanser. It warms up when you put it on your face, so your pores open and get real clean. It comes in a green squeeze bottle.
I swear by it!
I don't think so. But apricot scrub will do the trick
Queen Helna clay mask is for cleaning out pores and leaving it smooth, fresh, and clear. But try St. Ives products designed for blackheads :)
Use an exfoliant, they work the best. St Ives Apricot scrub works wonders, but do not use an exfoliant if you have a lot of whiteheads, b/c they will pop and become irritated.
Hi, I actually read this really good article about natural tips fos blackhead removal, you'll find more useful information there I'm sure, I did

Biore Strips are harsh and can damage your skin. Plus they don't get all of the gunk out of your entire pore. A blackhead is deep inside your pore.
Do not pick at it or try to scrub or force it out. You need a chemical exfoliant. It will get inside the pore and loosen the binding agents from within, clearing it out safely and effectively.
The only thing I have found to work is Paula's Choice 2% BHA.

All other Salicycic products have the wrong PH and have alcohol or menthol which will irritate your skin and inflame the pore, causing more breakouts. I have tried all the strips, masks, scrubs and products and this is the most effective of them all. You can get samples of her products, get 3-4 packets and see which formula you like best (gel, liquid etc)
That or a retinoic acid like retin a micro or differin.
