So I've had blackheads all over my nose (there are also some ob my forehead and chin) I was about 12 (I'm 18 now) and nothing seems to get rid of them. I'm going to college and I just want to feel confident about myself starting out in a new place. anyone know how I can get rid of this blackhead problem? :/ thanks in advance!

I use a apricot scrub and works great for blackhead.

Tablespoon of salt, tablespoon of baking soda, and about a tablespoon of your face wash. Put it on you face and leave it on for about 5-10 mins.

I had mine for years and was given a prescription for retin-a which helped clear them up.

Use a face wash with salicylic acid. Salicylic acid helps break down blackheads because blackheads are just oxidized sebum that filled the pores.

This sounds so weird, but I got rid of mine with Elmer's school glue. Just apply a thin coat, let dry, peel off, and rinse your face with cold water. I've also heard to use a toothbrush and toothpaste, but that could dry out your skin too much.

If you have a Daiso near you there's a charcoal face mask you can apply and another nose pack and it's kind of like the Elmer's glue suggestion - but meant for your face~ exfoliating helps most, I started exfoliating and most of my blackheads aren't as noticeable anymore but make sure to only do it 2/3 times a week. Nose strips help a lot too but only use it once in a while - sparingly is better for your skin ^_^

Baking soda microdermabrasion works wonders. You can also try a clay mask, but don't use pore strips! They ruin your skin! Try a gentle exfoliant like Clinique 7-Day scrub
