hi my son has got blackheads galore on his nose and was looking advice on what gizmos or products to use to get rid of them. really deep routed, tried masks and creams but no luck. was wondering if the gizmos to suck them out on ebay any good or if anyone could make suggestions to get them out as easily as possible. thanks.
drinking a decent amount of water helps keep your skin clear too.. dnt know about gizmos though

for those who want to excavate there faces oO
Morning:
Wash skin (tea tree and witch hazel is good for spot prone skin)
Dry face
Apply toner
Apply moisturiser (Body Shop vitamin e is really good and not too girlie smelling)
Evening:
Wash face
Dry face
Apply toner
Apply tea tree spot on treatment if he has any spots.
2 - 3 times a week:
Exfoliate with a good scrubby exfoliator. This will hopefully dislodge some of his yucky blackheads and also get rid of the old skin and give his face a nice fresh feeling and look.
I was living with this girl and was like wtf is that when I saw it in the bathroom, she swore by it saying it was amazing. I personally think it looks horrendous, but if I had blackheads I would probably give it a go. No harm in investing £3 and trying.
pretty sure ive a few tiny black heads and dont even know how i could start to try using that thing to scrape at them lol, ill stick to easy squeezy
OK, this thread is making me feel queasy. The work 'scrape' and 'squeeze' and the image of whatever crap comes out is yucky!
I hope your son gets it sorted OP, not nice for him.
P.S. My friend also said Biore strips. No idea what that means though.
and now no more spots
I've always used something similar but with a pointy end & I've never had a problem with it!

aye thousands the problem never mind the desperately weird... and who could overlook this forum wisdom first. never, never....
Now im not in any way homo but this is what i tried a while back and it worked like a treat!
1) wash your face with soap or clean it with some stuff that will degrease your face petrol, meths or equivelent is not what i mean
2) get these nose covering plaster looking things from boots and gently wet the plaster with water that has been applied with your finger.
3) Place on your nose and leave for a few mins till rock 'ard
4) rip it off your son's nose as hard and fast as you can. This will be satisfying to you and whilst cause pain to your son, will be a quick process.
5) examine the pad at disgust.
few sites you might like to do extra reading up on
acne-advice.com/art…tml
dermatology.about.com/cs/…htm
6) sit back and relax knowing that your son will not let his face get to that state.
p.s not helping when you come back for pubic lice lol

methinks its a two part problem, getting the trees out of his nose and getting some serious skin peeling gear to clean and shut required. i used some astringent thing as a kid but think its off the market since... mmm, yes it was quite lethal if effective.
one problem at a time now rupz thanks.... lol.
oh what a lovely smiley
You just use the looped bit to keep pressing over the blackhead and it pops out lol

St Ives Blemish scrub is good (not the normal one, the tiny beads are near useless).
Tell him to stop touching them.. which he may be, either if its bugging him, or if hes paranoid.. hes probably doing it without realising and just making it worse.
The Clarisonic really does brighten your skin and keep it properly clean, but at £150 its prob not an option. The cheaper manual brushes are ok I suppose, but no where near as good as the Clarisonic. Feel Unique normally have some good offers near B.H's though, like 20% off orders over £100, so thats an option maybe.
Tea tree oil is cheap and pretty good, but I dont know if it will build up if not cleaned off properly.
Be careful with that tool, push too hard and it bruises the skin, and/or leaves big spots behind.. And obv make sure its sterilized before each use of course

I think the orange stuff was called clean and clear or similar, it was an american make but I haven't seen it for years. I agree it was fantastic.
