How can I get rid of them? they look like pores, they are not huge, but whenever I squeeze them it's obviously a small blackhead and I have them all over my cheeks, nose and some on my chin! It bothers me specially when I apply foundation -.- I'd insert a picture but it's so gross. what can I do?

You could use pore strips all over your face?

You definitely could use pore strips. Also here is a peel off mask that a lot of youtubers are going crazy about :) It looks like it costs about $4-8! Xx

Pore strips only get the top of the blackhead...same goes with the peel off masks. A professional grade facial is the way to go because a skin pro will have the tools and expertise to extract them. I get facials every six weeks and she charts my trouble zones (where blackheads seem to hang out) and addresses those areas with each visit. Best investment ever made. And to maintain the cleared area home facial peels containing AHA/BHA, Salylaic acid will keep the pores free if debris that cause the blackheads in the first place.

Thank you Shelley! That seems to be the best option :) everytime I try to extract them, they are so tiny that I end up looking like I've been attacked by a bee.

Let us know how it goes Rita. It took my gal two visits to fully eradicate all the blackheads and it made a huge difference in regards to skin clarity. Now she may extract one with each visit (which I go every six weeks) but it was nothing like it was when I fell off the wagon and my visits were inconsistent.

I've had blackheads previously and nothing really impacted them at all. Definitely not products and facials were nice, but the results never last long for me. I got a Vi chemical peel and I haven't had one blackhead 6 mos later. It was a pretty extreme process and I got it for anti-aging and it just happened to have this effect. May want to look into it.
