you can buy sticky stripes that will pull that shit out, but it's temporary

>>7519362
By those strips from CVS

>>7519369
this shit doesn't really work

>>7519394
Yeah nah you can fuck off, I used it last night, my nose is clear now.

>>7519393
no buy them from walgreens

they're meant to be there

blackheads are pretty normal and severally common, the media just subliminally leads us to believe they aren't normal and need to be removed, because celebrities wear a fuckton of makeup covering blackheads on their face

you people are brainwashed

>>7519362

buy an extractor

DIY Disincrustation solution

this shit is made by the people who professionally remove these things from your face, but now you can ~do it at home!~
1 teaspoon baking soda
8 oz warm water

soak cotton ballz in solution and then place on face for 10 mins. after, your blakeheads should be softened by solution and can be squeezed out with ease. also if used with those pore strips they work wonders.

>We should leave dirt clogged up in our pores
They're normal, yes, but no you shouldn't leave them there.

>>7519444
If you're not applying shit to your face that messes with the microbial ecosystem, your face will clear it on its own, but the pores will also again recollect deposits

awesome vid

>>7519465
not him but i don't put shit on my face and i've had them all my life. i do have huge pores though.

>>7519441
Holy fuck that looks like so much fun.

I just "scrape" them out in the shower with my fingernails.

Be gentle though, I get them on my chin and if I'm too rough a pimple may form. Just feel it out.

Argh I've got to go exfoliate my face now

>>7519563

m8 thought i was the only one

Exfoliating doesn't work, black head strips don't work either. WHAT DO?

>>7519594

kill urself that should work lmao

I used the sticky strips once and it removed the majority of them(felt nice too).. but they just came back in no time.

>>7519441
I just know that every time I get a boner that shit's going to come back into my head and kill it

>>7519627
well i wasnt worried about that before but now i am

>>7519417
they're sebaceous filaments

media tricks us into thinking their blackheads

and scrub

>>7519648
this homie is correct

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebaceous_filament

>>7519648
Aint that the truth. Bought some blackhead cleanser which showed these on the front. Fucking cunts.

>>7519362
I was told to find something that opens up your pores and just squeeze, not with your nails though.

>>7519441
I've been recommended to buy one of those tools and use it to remove blackheads.
Have any of you guys used them?

>>7519362
change your diet prick

I thought I had perpetual black heads for years.

got facial, dermaabrasions, and a whole bunch of other shit to get rid of them.

finally went to a dermatologist, who informed me I just had large pores on my nose that were actually quite clean, and that my attempts to treat my "black heads" actually probably made it worse.

got me some fancy retinol-a shit and it shrunk them down.

be warned there are different types of retinol-a- the cheapers types from plant extracts or the lke are complete shit

>>7519892
I have two of them.
Fuckers don't work at all. Just clean your wingers and grow a bit of nail and it will go a lot easier.

>>7520050
Fingers, srry

>>7519441
Dude I cant stop looking at these videos... its stress relieving for some weird reason

>>7519441

>>7519404
>>7519393
Both of you are wrong, you gotta get em from Rite - Aid

black hairs on my nose

how do I get rid of them

pref without plucking since it hurts like hell for these hairs

u just squeeze them like a normal pimple they come out easy u dirty kids

gelatin face mask for temporary relief
but they will probably be back in a couple of days

>>7521502
>black hairs ON my nose
go to a doctor, you must have some sort of hormonal issue

how do you exist for a quatre of a life time or more and not know how to remove a black head from your face

>>7521529
n-no it's common if you spend a lot of time in the sun

>>7521529
I have kleinfelters so that might be why

I'm probs just going to get electrolysis or something

>>7521529
wait is this for reals
ive had black hairs on my nose for as long as i can remember

>>7521502
puck em pussy

looks like a strawberry

>I use as pure etanol as i can get (which is methylated) to clean my face and neck, for all oils.
>Then i gently whipe with a moist towel.
>Apply scrub and scrub most of my face and neck.
>Whipe off with a wet towel
>Clean off oils from the scrub using methylated
>Whipe with new moist towel
>Apply moisturizer:


Works very well, this method removed all blackheads (ive never had acne so i dont know), within 2 weeks when i applied this method morning and afternoon.

Bitches like to stroke my face just cuz its so clean and even.

>>7521573
It can just be genetics

>>7519394
i always just seem to rip the top part off while most of the blackhead stays in my nose. =(

>>7521699
Then you are not using a sticky enough strip.

You must also pull it of very slowly, its like picking up the sope after you lost it in the shower. The blackheads might not be sticked to well enough to come up.

I use the good ones (none of this store brand shit) and i wait till they get as hard as possible and it still happens..

>>7521727

>>7521670

Have frequent facials.

>>7521546
dis, my mum taught me

I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

>>7519362
Don't by any chemicals, all you have to do is boil your face. All that steam will burn and vaporize all your acne and black heads. Trust me it works.

>>7524454
does the shit they talk about in AP actually work?

>>7521553
>kleinfelters
lel how is it to be more woman than man?

>>7524162
how bish

>>7524505
yes, bitches love rats up their meemaw

>>7521670
etanol well kill all the bacterias and your skin will eventually be dry as fuck

>>7519648

This person is right.

Ain't nothing you can do to get rid of them, OP - if you squeeze them out, they'll come back in a day or less. You can shrink the size with chemical exfoliants like AHAs or BHAs but it's just part of your face, you have to deal.

>>7519417
>severally common
>expecting people to take him seriously
oh god I think he's being serious.jpg

also, this >>7519444

>>7521670
What the fuck?
that can't be healthy
enjoy your shitskin in a couple years, m0y8

>>7524516
its sort of like popping a pimple but you do it slightly further away from the blackhead and the white stuff just comes out
helps if your face is warmer eg just after a shower

>>7524882
>>7525454

Its not healthy if you use it very often as in every hour, as there is methanol in it.

If you apply very small amounts it will only clean off all fats and make your skinn dry. Thats why i apply moisturizer.

I hate that shit.

Mine don't stick out like that though. They look almost like freckles, so I guess it's not so bad. I kind of wish they did stick up though, maybe then those pore strips would actually work.

>>7524544

Diet, exercise, get some sun.

Seriously people eat such shit these days.

>>7524492

this works. I have been cleaning my face the last 2 years with only water and steam. All acne is gone.
The oils give proteins and vitamins to upper skin layer. Chemicals are bad for skin and only stimulate the over production of oils and fat.

>>7529328
That's not the whole issue, those things come from high testosterone, which is good for you, because you don't become bold easily.

>>7524454
Gotta love my old school's English teacher for putting this on an examination

squeeze that shit out and use a toner or something fuck

>>7519362
I've been wanting to use a face mask on my skin to get rid of blackheads on my chin and nose. They're stubborn and strips leave my skin severely red and somewhat irritated.
/fa/ what do?

>>7529406
you don't even need steam, water is enough just let your body do its own thing

>>7529474
But what if people have been taking medication for their acne and using scrubs on their face for all this time? Can they transition easily into not using it?

all these fucking contradicting stories of what does and doesn't work
how the balls is anyone supposed to know what to do
i'm using ACV at the moment as a toner type thing and mole remover. bought it for the latter purpose but I saw it supposedly works as a cleanser or some shit. also using some doxicycline pills I found left over from an OE, doctor mentioned they were often prescribed as hardcore acne killers. prob won't work but w/e.
also stopped using bar soap for anything but hands.

>>7529468
stop being a pussy

I might be crazy, but I feel that being dehydrated makes blackheads more prominent, so make sure to drink plenty of water! I made an illustration to show what I'm talking about... I'm no dermatologist, so this might be all wrong, but works for me and water is free:)

Dehydration = deflated skin

>>7530469
there is logic behind this, i too have noticed that when i drink a lot of water my skin looks better

>>7530504
when you drink a lot of water everything is better

>>7529483
your face is going to feel oily and disgusting for the first few weeks but that's the price you have to pay for beauty

>>7519362

Mine are white and it annoys the fuck out of me to have these.
