No matter how much we scrub and wash our faces, black heads just seem to appear all over our noses. Here are some good ways to keep your skin clear and avoid blackheads.

Nose-Strip Method

1Wet your nose with a clean face cloth and then dry your hands.
2Open the packet that the nose strip is in, and rip the little tabs for a better fit on your nose.
3Put the sticky side on your nose, wet it again and wait for around 10 minutes.
4After 10 minutes, the nose strip should be as hard as papier mache. Remove it.
Removing Tool Method

1Fill a wide bowl with hot (but not boiling) water.
2Rest your head over the water, so that your face can take advantage of the steam.
3Empty the bowl and clean the blackhead removing tool with soap and water. Proceed to use the removing tool, carefully following the instructions.
Facial Scrub Method

1Wash your face and rinse with water. Do not bother to dry it.
2Take a small coin-sized amount of facial scrub and lather through clean hands.
3Massage your face with the scrub to exfoliate the skin.
4Rinse and wash face again if necessary.
Steaming Method

1You may be familiar with this method of treating colds. However, it is also highly effective in treating blackheads.
2Boil up a pot of water; adding lemon is an option.
3Throwing a towel over your head so it covers the pot, keeping the steam within, lean over the pot and breathe deeply.
4Do this for five minutes, until your face is quite wet from steam and also perspiration. This opens your pores.
5At this point, you may choose to run a cotton make up pad over affected areas to dislodge blackheads.
6Continuing on, add some cooler water to the pot so that the water remains quite hot, but not boiling, so that you may apply it to affected areas. Do so with a wet cotton pad, wringing it out, and pressing blackhead areas with the pad. Ensure the pad remains hot. Also, be careful not to burn yourself!
7Cleanse after the use of this method.
Waxing At Salon

1This is a little unheard of but it is a myth that black hair will grow where you wax.
2Just have the beautician wax nose and other places with blackheads. Most beauticians have done this before.

EditTips

Only use the strips no more than twice a week.
Keep the strip on for 10-15 minutes.
Try not to touch your face. It's a hard habit to break, but oil and germs may get onto your face and possibly block your pores.


Be careful when removing nose strips; they can create spider veins around the nose, if pulled too hard.
Do not use a facial scrub if you have other bad acne. It can rub off the head of the zit and spread the acne bacteria.
If you have sensitive skin, the strips may cause irritation and redness for up to 24 hours.
