Blackheads and Pimples! HELP!?

OK .... so I have a million REALLY stubborn blackheads and a few pimples in my T-zone area, plus tons of acne scars which I don't think I can do anything about... and school photos are in 3 days. Please help, they look really bad =[





The blackheads on my forehead are super super stubbon ... they're like little lumps that refuse to come out. They're not the kind of blackheads that have a black dot on them. The ones on my nose have black dots on them. And the ones below my chin are tiny little beads which i can occasionally scratch away, but there are about 50 of them.





Please help!!! Best answer gets 10 points!

Other than washing your face a lot :





Ice down the acne before bed, by morning it should be noticeably less swollen. Works best on larger pimples that have not yet formed a head.





Put toothpaste on your pimple before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel. One of the most popular acne home remedies.





Tea Tree oil can also be applied directly to infected pores.





Apply fresh lemon juice on the affected area overnight. Wash off with warm water next morning.





Drink plenty of water.





Also, don't pop the pimple!





For black heads :


Though the best way to remove blackheads is an area of contention, the most common method for getting rid of blackheads is to gently squeeze them. Removing the “stuff” inside of the blackhead helps the skin because you are relieving the pressure which causes the damage. We know it can be nearly impossible to leave a blemish alone so here are some tips for gentle blackhead removal:





Step 1:Use a mild scrub or exfoliant to remove any dead cells and expose the blackhead.





Step 2:Pat your face dry.





Step 3:Place a slightly warm compress on your face for approximately 10-15 minutes in order to soften the blackhead, making it easier to remove.





Step 4:Pat your face dry again.





Step 5:Place a piece of tissue on the tip of each finger to avoid slipping, which could tear the skin and cause further damage.





Step 6:Gently apply even pressure to both sides of the blackhead by pushing down, then up around the blemish. You’re trying to apply the pressure from *underneath* the blackhead.





Only attempt this once or twice. If it does not “pop”, you may bruise the skin, make the blackhead worse, and could cause scarring.








If you want to get rid of blackheads you're going to stop using oil-based makeup and skin treatments





Pimple Removal :





Prepare for a small surgical pimple removing procedure. You'll need a small sewing needle, a bottle of alcohol, some gauze (or a small band-aid), and some warm water. Some people think you'll need to run a needle through a flame. This isn't Dr. Quinn Medicine woman. Rubbing alcohol will do.


Wash your face and hands before attempting to pop the pimple. Washing your face and hands ensures that all makeup, oils, germs and bacteria are no longer near the pimple you're about to burst. Also, dip a majority of the needle in the alcohol, and for safe measure apply some of that alcohol to your fingers and the pimple--dabbing with some gauze to dry the area.


Prick the white part of the pimple very lightly with the tip of your needle. Once you've done that, put two small squares of gauze on either side of the pimple and apply pressure with two fingers to ensure that the remaining puss is squeezed out of the pore, retaining pressure until clear liquid appears. When clear liquid or blood appears, you'll know the pimple is gone.


Wipe the pimple clean with an alcohol soaked gauze pad. It'll sting a little, but that's a good thing. The alcohol will kill most of the bacteria in and around the wound, helping you to avoid an infected pimple. If you wish, you can put a small, sterile bandaid on the area or cover it with an antibacterial concealer.Blackheads and Pimples! HELP!?
i have this device called the 'pimple popper' i got it from a local drug store and it pops out the blackheads so easily. it doesnt scare your skin but it does make it red for about an hour. i love it and my skin in blackhead free now
Cleanse your face with unboiled milk, gently rub a coarse cloth dipped in milk to remove the blackheads. Steam your face with herbs like lavender, lemon peel and mint leaves added to the water and let the skin soak up its goodness.
