Blackhead Removal Tips (Nose/Face)
Option #1 Blackhead removal - nose
As long as you are not allergic or have super, super sensitive skin that is easily affected I suggest trying this out. I learnt about this by searching Google. I do not remember the source/can't find it again so I can't give proper credit to the person or persons who thought of this first. But this is great idea so I'm sharing it as well.
First, gently wash your face with warm water and dry it off.
Second, put some Elmer's NON-TOXIC and washable glue on your index finger, or which ever finger you wish to use, and smooth over your nose. The layer of glue has to be thin but not too thin.
Third, let it dry. Sometimes it takes 5 minutes and sometimes 10 minutes. The glue will be clear when it's dry. Make sure you don't smile or move your face until you are ready to peel it off.
Four, using the tip of your finger but NOT your nail, roll it along the edges of the dry glue to lift it up so you are able to peal it off. You can use your nail if you are having trouble but be very, very gentle or you will irritate your skin. Sometimes it helps to crinkle your nose and move your facial muscles to get the glue to loosen up so you can get it off a bit easier. That is what I do.
Five, once you have all the glue peeled off wash your face with a foaming face wash or whatever works for you.
How this works: The glue dries while surrounding your pores so when you pull it off it pulls out the blackheads and other stuff clogged in your pores that make your skin feel unpleasant. You will see the results on the dry glue skin when you peel it off. Note, this works wonders for some people while it doesn't for some others. This works for me but it worked a lot better for a friend of mine. If this doesn't work I have another option.
Options #2 - Pores cleaner - Entire face
You know those pore and facial brushes that you can buy in the store? Well, I can't afford one of those right now so I thought up this method a while ago. It's a toothbrush. Yes, I use a tooth brush and foaming facial cleanser to clean out my pores and it works wonders.
Fist, get a SOFT toothbrush.
Second, get a foaming facial cleanser that you like.
Third, wet your face with warm water and massage some of the foaming face wash over your skin.
Four, wet your soft toothbrush and add a bit of your facial cleanser onto it (just like when you brush your teeth but with face wash).
Five, use the toothbrush and gently brush it over your nose and the rest of your face (use circular motions and up and down and sideways... whatever you like best). Be careful the first time you do this because the first time I did this it hurt a bit. I had a different toothbrush and it was too bumpy and hurt my skin. But the one I have now works well but I still have to be gentle. Always be gentle so you don't irritate your skin.
Six, wash your face off and dry it off and get ready for your day or night like normal.
Note: Don't use the same toothbrush to clean your face as you do your teeth. If you have any questions leave a comment.
