i have these little blackheads that are raised and kind of clustered in groups of two or threes and i cant get rid of them!! i tried the biore pore strips and i wash my face with the st ives fash wash but its not working. i was on an antiobiotic ointment for my dermatitis on my face and while that cleared up i think it clogged my pores. are there are at home remedies or sure fire products that wont cost an arm or a leg that will get rid of them?? Ten points to the one that works!!Blackhead at home remedies?
I understand your concern, 2 of my teens also struggle with your same problem. We have done it all so to speak and this is what worked for us. First I will tell you a home remedy that only requires some ingredients from your kitchen. (this can be used only for cleansing) It will not permantely heal the problem)
A) Mix brown sugar with warm water and rub into your skin. This will clear out pores and blackheads gradually.
That's it. But I stress, this works good for a quick cleanser.
What we are using, and you can find these things at your local health food store:
1) Tea Tree Face Wash (we do 3 times daily)
2) Tea Tree Cleansing Pads (we use in between washing, like at school, or away from home. Just keeps excess oils down and acts as a bacteria fighter)
3) Michael's Skin Factors this supplement is great it helps from the inside out. They have a web site but run a search on it. And definately check the health food store first for these products.
They have worked wonderful for my family. Too, check out what is in your hair, and skin care products, the chemicals in those can cause acne, and many other health problems. Another good site to go to for good prices and truly pure health and beauty products is goodheadfirst.com they also have a list of the bad ingredients (chemicals in products)
That is it. Just don't stress, it will work if you work it!! : )
Good LuckBlackhead at home remedies?
the wave works super well suposedly. i myself havent tried it but everyone tells me that it works like crazy. im buying one tommorow. they are 14 bucks but im sure its worth it and i hear that it can help blackheads. evan if your blackheads dont go away, the wave will leave you with a clear complexion so they wont be quite as noticable. plus the wave unclogs pores so you could use the stuff ur derm gave you and then wait about an hour (to ensure you dont wash it off) and then use the wave. go to www.neutrogenawave.com for more details. good luck
Whatever you do, do not try to take them off yourself. It sounds like tags and they do scar. You might want to go to a dermatologist and let him look at them. If they are, they'll just freeze them off. I found home remedies on line, but they sound so horriffic, I don't think I will share them. OK, just one, this doesn't sound to bad.
The second method is a less painful method and results can be seen pretty fast. What you need is some baking soda and castor oil. With these two ingredients, prepare a concoction by mixing the two together thoroughly until they form a gooey paste. Apply at least 3 times every day on the skin tags. The skin tags would dry up and die off in around 2 weeks.
I can't stress enough, go to a doctor and make sure what it is before doing anything.
Make a layer of elmers glue on the affected area, let dry and peel off then close pores with witch hazel.
hope this helps!!!
This should help. Rub oatmeal paste on face,leave it to dry for 15 minutes before washing off with cold water. Check out http://useinfo-blackhead.blogspot.com/ for more useful tips to control blackheads.
- Wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the acne
* excess oils can cause blackheads
- Extract juice of one lemon and mix with equal quantity of rose water. Apply this mixture on the face and let it stay for about half an hour. Wash the face with fresh water. About 15 days application helps cure acne, pimples and reduces blemishes and scars
- Mix fresh lime juice with grounded drumstick pods and leaves and apply on blackheads
- To loosen blackheads, use a facial scrub with green tea in it
- Warm honey and apply it on blackheads. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes
- Application of undiluted lemon juice 2-3 times a day on the affected areas will remove blackheads
I have heard that Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask is good, many reviewers on MUA (makeupalley) says that it takes care of its blackheads
I also heard that using a salicylic acid cleanser is good because salicylic acid cleans out your pores
TIP: before using a mask, steam your face (it will open up your pores)
I am using Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion and so far I think it is helping me keep my blackheads under control...
ALSO: i was wondering when you used the Biore Pore Strips, did it like peel your skin off? Because i think thats what it did to me. And did it make your pores look deeper?
