I have a lot of comedones--Little skin-colored bumps--All over my forehead and the undersides of my cheekbones. It's incredibly irritating because even though they are not as noticable as cysts or whiteheads, they NEVER go away. I'm convinced I have the same ones as I did a year ago. I wash my face with a shiseido face wash and also with a face-cleansing pad or cetaphil every night but nothing, and I wear a non comedogenic aveeno moisturizer in the morning.
How can I get rid of these tiresome bumps? I've done steaming to death and I've done all sorts of DIY masks. All that seems to work is squeezing them and then dealing with the grody scar afterward. Help! How can I remove them and what cleanser is best for keeping them at bay? My diet is not the best, but I drink a LOT of water. Help!How do you get rid of blackheads?
exfoliate your skin and keep it well moisturized and cleanHow do you get rid of blackheads?
Water is a good step towards healthy skin! Also, you need to make sure that you use a mild soap, and wash your face twice a day. Use an oil free moisturizer to keep your skin from drying out.
It sounds like you're on the right track, but you may need some additional help. I take a fantastic product that I found online; read the info on the website in the source box below my response!
I've been taking this product for a couple of months, and it's really helped to clear up my skin. I';m not sure if I'm allowed to name the product on this site, so please just go to the website.
Squeezing them is about the worst thing you can do. Don't do it anymore. The acne can go away, but the scars will stay there forever. For the scars that you already have, use Mederma. It can make your scars look almost invisible. I think you could buy it at any drug store, but you might find it faster online.
I have the same thing on the back of my cheeks where my ears start, but they aren't so many like you're describing.
Neutrogena acne cream is amazing. It almost always goes away overnight. I'm sure you can find it at CVS, Target, or any beauty product shop. (If it helps, it's a mint green bottle and about the length of half your forearm.)
Also, never use ProActive. It is way too harsh and can make you break out in a rash. Try to always use gentle products. The harsh ones just dry out the acne but they dry out your skin too. It's NOT the right way to get rid of acne.
Hope I helped! :)
u can get them extracted at the dermatologist
Avoid using creamy, greasy, and thick (emollient) products. This alone will greatly lessen your chances of sprouting blackheads.
Use a gentle and water-soluble acne cleanser.
DO NOT use bar soap!!! The ingredients that hold soap in a bar form can clog the pores in your skin. They can also cause skin cells to flake off prematurely and clog the pores. If you have dry skin you will need to use a cleanser that has a bit of moisturizer in it, but be careful! The excess moisturizers can cause an increase in oil on your skin.
Exfoliate to eliminate dead skin cells. If there are no skin cells to clog the pores, the natural oil is able to flow through freely. Skin Exfoliation also removes the built up dead cells from inside the pores that cause them to become misshapen and more-easily clogged. Using an skin exfoliant that contains 1% or 2% beta hydroxy acids (BHA or Salicylic Acid) will penetrate the lining of the pore. If you are unable to use BHAs, you could use products containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), however these acids are only good for surface exfoliation because they do not penetrate the pore lining.
Absorb excess oil. If you have oily skin, try using a clay mask that does not contain mint, peppermint or other irritating ingredients. This will absorb the oil that may clog the poor. If you have dry skin, this is not necessary because pimples on dry skin are caused by oil inside the pore, not on the surface of the skin. Also, oil-absorbing papers may help to reduce the oil in your pores.
Visit your dermatologist. Retinoids, which are a form of Vitamin A, can help regulate the pore shape which will keep oil flowing normally. The most common retinoids are tretinoin and adapalene, found in prescriptions such as Avita, Renova, Retin-A, Tazorac, and Differin.
Other medications. Hormone blockers and low-dose birth control pills can lower levels of androgens (the male hormone) and Accutane should be discussed with your physician in severe cases of oily skin and breakouts.
------------------------
To get rid of them,
1.Use a mild scrub or skin exfoliant to remove any dead cells and expose the blackhead.
2.Pat your face dry.
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.
4.Pat your face dry again.
5.Place a piece of tissue on the tip of each finger to avoid slipping, which could tear the skin and cause further damage.
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.
--------------
Another to remove blackheads is Make a lotion with equal parts of lime juice, almond oil and glycerin and apply on the face. It will not only cure blackheads but the discoloring spots on the face too.
--------
Another way
Warm a little honey and apply on the trouble area.
Wash off after 10-15 minutes.
-----------------
Another Beat an egg white.
Add 1 tsp honey.
With a cotton swab apply on the face and leave for half an hour.
Rinse with warm water and pat it dry.
Rub cooking oil on your face and take a cloth and rub it off.
