How do I get rid of these tiny blackheads on my nose?

Blackheads are very common in young people but many of them do not know what they are. This is not a serious problem, for it leaves no permanent effect. However, taking regular care of the skin can prevent them.


Blackheads are caused by excess of sebaceous glands (the oil producing glands of the skin). The excess secretion of oil expands and thickens the pores of the skin. The oil collects in the pores and develops into a cyst or swelling. The pores are then blocked with hardened sebum or oil. Since the pores are open, the tip of the blocked grease is exposed to the air and oxidizes, turning black. Hence, blackheads are formed.


Blackheads can appear any part of the body such as on the back, chest and other areas that are rich in sebaceous glands. Never pick at them. Oily and combination skins are most susceptible to these. Oily skins attract dirt and grime from the environment and these collect in the pores with hardened oil. Blackheads cause the pores to be further enlarged and people with oily skins have a rough and coarse skin.


Blackheads do not only look unsightly, but they are the cause of acne. When a pore is fully blocked, the oil gland can get infected resulting into a pimple. Therefore, the control of blackheads is one way of preventing acne.

how many black peoples is on there?
Biore makes ';strips'; you place on your nose like a bandaid. Pull them off, and the little blackhead stuff come out with them. After the Biore strips, use Sea Breeze on a cotton pad. It is also important to wash your face on a regular bases. One thing that is sometimes overlooked is rinsing your face completely after washing. Residue soap can actually block pores and cause blackheads.
Go to pharmacy and ask for the strips you put on you nose. you put them on, then peel them off like the wax strips and your blackheads come off on the strip. I cannot recall the name of them, but once you find out, many supermarkets sell them. Actually, i think they are called ';Anti-Pore ';.
If you have blackheads, most likely you have dry skin as well.

For an at home solution, try the deep pore cleansing strips from biore. A better (more efficient) way to go is to just go to an aesthetician, as blackhead removal is common/routine for a facial.
use proactiv
Use the Bior茅 pore strips. They are about $7 a box. They work miracles.
Whoa dude, Amembal4444, you must have some CRAZY sleepover parties.





Question asker: Biore strips work for me. Wash your face regularly. I typically at least splash some cold water on my face every time I wash my hands. Helps keep the oil off my nose.
I use KissMyFace Obsessively Pore Shrink Mask it has helped out a lot, I also recently got on Birth Control (Yaz) and it has helped too. Just wash your face a lot with exfoliating scrubs and use a mask once or twice a week. Good Luck!
wash your face
Pliers?
There is a product called oxy pads. You can use those they really helped me when I used them. Or if that dose not work I would buy some face wash that is meant for oily skin, and only use it on your nose, because the black heads are caused by very oily pores in the area, and that wash will help dry up the skin enough so that your black heads will go away. I had this very same problem. I hope this will help you.
