BlackHeads issue

DaffyDuck · Jun 23rd, 2008, 06:27 AM

I have lots of black heads on my cheeks, nose and chin area. I need a home remedy solution to them as the
->black head strips are of no use to me
->facials create an acne breakout on me so i avoid them
->the remedy of meetha soda or baking soda stuff ruined my cousin's skin so i don't want to take a risk

ANy other suggestion except those above? Thank You

maybe they r not all blackheads..sometimes they turn out to be little hairs..try getting ur face waxed..or if dont like that try getting ur fasce sugared instead..its more natural(use heated mixture of sugar n lemon juice) nd when they pull it off the sugar doesnt yank off ur skin bcs its only attached to hairs..so its less painful 2. afterwards ur skin will look nice 2.

Soni27, they are not small hair, im sure they are black heads. I dont wax my face cuz ive got a sensitive skin and they cause break outs so i avoid.

Any desi totka some one has tried and is actually good?

making a paste of fresh fenugreek leaves (methi),and applying it over the face for 15-20 minutes everyday,and then washing it off with warm water,does help in getting rid of bleckheads.it is a tried and tested method which has been used by a friend of mine.

DD please don't bring wax anywhere close to u're face you cud burn u're skin and make it loose. You said the baking soda mixture doesn't help you? How about you steam u're face and then use a deep-cleansing scrub.

something i've always been confused about is, do these scrubs TAKE out the blackheads for you or are you just suppose to use them after they're out?

i just steam my face and take my blackheads out from my nose myself. i take a thick, soft kapra and put my two index fingers under it and squeeze gently. it works great for me

Scrubs dislodge blackheads that aren't to deep, and some can be removed by using scrubs. Steam opens-up the pores and makes it easier to extract the blackheads.

ive never tried using scrubs for blackheads. I think ill try steaming and then scrubbing and updated you.

^^^Steam, then scrub then apply a mask and notice the difference.
