Blackheads on Your Nose! What do you do?

I think everyone - even people with the most beautiful, pristine skin in the world, have blackheads on or around their nose. Heck, my boyfriend and I both have tiny blackheads on our noses which just tend to look like bigger pores. Is there anything that you can do to get rid of these nose blackheads, or are they just there for good?

Well, you can go get a professional, comprehensive “corrective” facial and request to have all of the blackheads on your nose extracted. There is no guarantee that even a versed aesthetist will be able to extract your blackheads on your nose though, especially since some blackheads are especially stubborn and will not come out.

You can also try to perform the delicate blackhead extractions yourself, but this may not be a good idea, since you can actually end up with infected or inflamed pores (or both) and also since you may end up with a permanently open, red looking pore if you don’t do it just right. You may end with more, and that’s definitely not what anyone wants.

I know this from experience. I used one of those Biore pore strips on a particular blackhead on my nose, and now am still suffering from an open pore that just looks like a small red scar. I removed the blackhead with a Biore pores strip about two years ago, and you can still see the red dot. It doesn’t look good, and I’m sorry I did it!

Another thing you can do to at least lessen the appearance of blackheads on the nose, and help to loosen them so they are more easily extracted, as well as prevent further blackheads, is to use a professional microdermabasion product.

Using a toner, or an astringent, after you wash you face at night may help, since it seals the pores up, leading to clear pores as well as sealing off any dirt or sebum from blocking the pore, lessening the likelihood of more blackheads from forming.

Be careful with astringents though, and I would say only use them at night, because they can cause excessive drying since they are mostly alcohol based when used too often or too agressively.
