Small Blackheads on your nose Options

[lilJdawg]

What face wash is best to getting rid of those small bumps/blackheads on your nose? Have any of you guys tried the Shiseido Vital Perfection Mineral Mud Blackhead Removal Mask? Seems interesting but it does not look like it would work?

I use Body Shop's Blackhead Minimizing Mask thing...since you spread it on your nose yourself, the shape actually fits. For me, premade strips are kind of awkward and either don't reach all areas of my nose, or just don't fit.

How To Get Rid Of Blackheads:

[1] Keep the skin as clean and oil free as possible. Use natural or chemically prepared cleansers, astringent solutions or masks to accomplish this. Avoid harsh soaps that may irritate the skin or any creams that leave an oily finish.

[2] Use a gentle exfoliant to keep the dead cells off your skin and away from the pore openings. (Clean&Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub is great)

[3] Avoid harsh squeezing or scraping at the blackhead. Excessive squeezing can damage the skin surround the pore and can actually increase the size of the pore leading to more blackheads in the future.

[4] A warm compress of water applied to the area of the blackhead followed by a very, very gentle pressure can help in clearing the clog from the pore. (You can also steam and then use a mask)

[5] "Blackhead strips", which are basically a tape like substance that is placed over the nose and then pulled off will remove some blackheads that are at the surface. (Bioré)
