Blackheads can happen to anyone, no matter what your skin type. Blackheads are caused by oil in your skin that gets caught and expands in the pores. Oxidizing from exposure to the air, the oil actually turns black.
what works for some people might not work for everyone but here are some things that you can consider.~
First, stop the problem before it starts. Use noncomedogenic, oil-free, water-based skin-care products. (Noncomedogenic means the products were laboratory tested and approved by the FDA not to clog pores and cause blackheads.)
If you change your skin-care routine and still get blackheads, speak to a dermatologist about getting a prescription for Retin-A, which is a strong exfoliant that opens pores, sloughs off dead skin and cleans out blackheads.
If all else fails, a dermatologic facial performed at a dermatologist's office involves a prescription-strength acid that gets rid of dead layers of skin and the use of surgical instruments to extract the blackheads.
Blackheads are a problem that should be treated by a dermatologist. But, if you want to try an over-the-counter product, a lot of people rave about Biore Pore Perfect Strips, which are supposed to lift out blackheads on your nose, forehead and chin.
Hope this helps~How can I shrink my pores and keep the blackheads %26amp; whiteheads from coming back so I can have flawless skin?
You cant shrink pores or close them. There is no muscle around the pore to constrict and close it. Some products like ';Sea Breeze'; claim to give the ';appearance'; of smaller pores because they inflame the skin, theoretically making the pores look temporarily smaller by comparison.
use Biore blackhead clearing strips. i dont kno wat thier called exactly. and/or Dove cleansing pillows. and dont touch your face when your hands arnt clean
proactive
Go to you're Dermatologist and ask for the Ance Treatment. It only costs $20 and they get rid of ALL of your pimples, zits and blackheads immediatly and they don't come back for like 2 weeks. It's great!
what you do is get steaming hot water and put some on your face and then put cold water.
get some facial masque... i have several different kinds... and one is for blemishes and such.. another is green and it does something else and one is a peel-off masque.. i use them at different times during the week.. i also use clean and clear foaming face wash and i recommend that for you too..
you have to kick the sugar habbit. and avoid acid. Also avoide bleached food because it is generally acidic. Your body is alkaline so you want to avoid acid.
There is a great article online at http://www.paulaschoice.com/learn/articl鈥?/a> It is called ';Battle Plan for Getting Rid of Blackheads.'; It goes through what blackheads and whiteheads are and how to manage them. The upshot is that both are caused by oil build-up. Thus, using a gentle water soluble cleanser, following up with gentle chemical exfoliation (BHA, a.k.a. beta hydroxy acid / Salicylic Acid), and absorbing oil with blotting tissues and carbon clay masques.
Good luck.
If you have access, a sauna is good because it flushes the pores AND THE BACTERIA out of your skin -- it also leaves you without a scent, so you don't need much perfume.
Continue with the washing every day.
The oil gets to the sebaceous glands under the pores through the bloodstream. The oil gets into the bloodstream from the liver, and it gets into the liver because of your DIET.
Stop eating sugar! Stop eating sweets (except raw fruit). Also stop eating products with a lot of fat in them like FRIED foods or oily baked goods or, especially, chocolate of any kind.
To the extent possible, replace red meat and chicekn in your diet with turkey (especially turkey breast). Have canned or baked salt water fish such as salmon or tuna, not fresh water fish sauteed in butter of fast food fried fish.
The oil in tuna and salmon is OK. A little olive oil is ok. The rest of the oils and sugars in your diet are dangerous to your complexion! This diet will starve the excess fat out of the sebaceous glands and you'll have flawless skin.
pro-activ seems to work..problem is u have to use it for life it seems....are u prepared to use it that long??....god bless...
keep washing face daily and try differin a product to clean pores and prevent new ones also when there are hot days keep a rag so you can clean that dirty swet off your face
You can't shrink pores. I know dermatologist will tell you that you shouldn't pick at whiteheads but here's a trick to getting rid of them. Get a needle and clean it in alcohol and clean your skin. Then lightly prick the skin with the needle. This will dialate the poor enough for you to safely squeeze the whitehead.
Water doesn't really do anything but plump your skin which is good for reducing fine lines but only temporarily. It's not good for much else.
Try changing your cleansers or makeups. They could be clogging your pores. Oil of Olay products are some of the best according to my dermatologist.
