There are many things that you can do to prevent blackheads from appearing on your face. Most involve cleansing and some require the use of medications.


Avoid using creamy, greasy, and thick (emollient) products. This alone will greatly lessen your chances of sprouting blackheads.


Use a gentle and water-soluble acne cleanser.


DO NOT use bar soap!!! The ingredients that hold soap in a bar form can clog the pores in your skin. They can also cause skin cells to flake off prematurely and clog the pores. If you have dry skin you will need to use a cleanser that has a bit of moisturizer in it, but be careful! The excess moisturizers can cause an increase in oil on your skin.


Exfoliate to eliminate dead skin cells. If there are no skin cells to clog the pores, the natural oil is able to flow through freely. Skin Exfoliation also removes the built up dead cells from inside the pores that cause them to become misshapen and more-easily clogged. Using an skin exfoliant that contains 1% or 2% beta hydroxy acids (BHA or Salicylic Acid) will penetrate the lining of the pore. If you are unable to use BHAs, you could use products containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), however these acids are only good for surface exfoliation because they do not penetrate the pore lining.


Absorb excess oil. If you have oily skin, try using a clay mask that does not contain mint, peppermint or other irritating ingredients. This will absorb the oil that may clog the poor. If you have dry skin, this is not necessary because pimples on dry skin are caused by oil inside the pore, not on the surface of the skin. Also, oil-absorbing papers may help to reduce the oil in your pores.


Visit your dermatologist. Retinoids, which are a form of Vitamin A, can help regulate the pore shape which will keep oil flowing normally. The most common retinoids are tretinoin and adapalene, found in prescriptions such as Avita, Renova, Retin-A, Tazorac, and Differin.


Other medications. Hormone blockers and low-dose birth control pills can lower levels of androgens (the male hormone) and Accutane should be discussed with your physician in severe cases of oily skin and breakouts.Help me get rid of my blackheads?
drug stores sell strips..


fot blackheads..they work very well..but the best thing is...well ur suppose to have a wet nose so it can stick..but the best thing to do is actually to steam up ur face with just waster in a bowl(can add some mind/honey or lemon to freshen it up) and drape a towl over ur head..do this for about a week,each day and then ir face will be really red (ohh do it for about 5mins) and yeah ...then wet the face with cold water.and PAT dry (not to roughen it) and just wet the nose and dry the hands..simple :)


do the nose thing quickyl..or just pat dry the face,not the nose..apply the strips and waa laa :)
