I've never had an acne problem but for the last little bit I've had trouble with blackheads on my nose and chin. I've tried several different facial cleaners but none of them seem to really clear them up. Anyone have any suggestions for good products?? I have normal skin, not really oily or really dry. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I'm interested to know this too.
I've tried soaps that are supposed to help, but I think they're lying to me.

I know what you mean! I've tried several things that say they are specificly for blackheads, yet I see no result after I've used them for weeks!! Its so frustrating isn't it?

For nose and chin, you can get those sticky pore strips, that you dampen, let dry and then remove! I know Biore does them!

They are pretty dear, but they do work really well! (you can se all the dirt and grime that it removes!

Movin' on up!
The Biore Pore Clearing strips are the best!

Another, inexpensive fix is to beat a raw egg, smear it on your face, let it dry and then wash it off with soap and water. As the egg dries, it tightens up your skin, squeezing out most of the blackheads. Mix the leftover egg into some shampoo and use it wash your hair, for a nice shine.

Those are brilliant!!!


Use a facial scrub weekly as well once you get rid of them

I read somewhere though that you have to be careful with the pore strips as it can ruin the pores.
Im actually going to buy those the next time i go shopping

I use the pore strips every once in a while. What sucks though is I have big pores. I would LOVE to get a facial that is supposed to reduce pore visibility, but don't have the money....so for now I just use the pore strips every once in a while, and clean my face with astringent every night and morning...

Thanks for the tips you guys! I've used the pore strips before, and may try them again, they just seemed to be more of a temporary fix wheras I was looking for something to actually get rid of them and keep them from coming back!

My fiance has quite the problems as well. What are guys to do about it? We want to look our best for the wedding

My hubby's the same way! What is it about men and their fear of "girly products"??

Does the egg have to be beaten until it turns white and foamy, or just until the egg is well blended?
