how can I get rid of my awful blackheads on my nose?

[waitingforgodot]

help!

Have you tried the sticky strips that ou stick to your nose for a few minutes and then pull off?

Get some of the sporn lovers from the Klaxon threads over.

They'll be eased out of your pores quickly enough!

Are they black heads or blocked pores? blocked pores dont go away after a squeeze, a bit comes out but it's still brown.

You need this for black heads. DH lets me use it on him. Hours of fun.

I'd have a go with the Nose Strips (after a bath so your pores are open) and then see where you stand....

What about blocked pores then... what do we do with those?

No idea, I've asked beauty therapists in the past and they didnt know eithe.

I like to think that if anyone is close enought to me to get a good look at them then they prob dont care about my nose .

I find liz earles clay mask good at making them paler.

I have big pores so they get blocked easily. There's nothing else for it than a good old go with one of those very cool comedone spoons. Satisfying

how do I know if I have blackheads or blocked pores?

have tried those strips and they didn't work for me. Was like sticking a bit of sellotape to my nose.

those strips are useless

and they ruin the fun

Well, blackheads are black and come out with either a little tail or dark brown sebum and blocked pores are a dark browny colour but dont give out a lot of sebum when I use the skincare tool on them.

If you have a Debenhams near with a Bliss concession they will use it during a facial so you can see what you think.

Those strips are shit, just squeeze 'em

I too want to know bout pores
Does the steaming that was so popular in the 80s not work(anyone else burn themselves?)

I use the closed end of a kirbigrip for individual bad ones and a pore strip occasionally. Since starting to use a scrub cleanser (Lush Angels on Bare Skin) daily in the shower the problem is much reduced.

I am extremely short sighted and if I take my glasses off and have a close look at the used pore strip it is fascinating gross.

Fingers. Don't forget to video for us sporners.

I've never had any luck with those strips

I just scrub with a very hot scratchy flannel.. gets rid of all of them

Wow, I sound so fucking glamourous

Does it...does it really though? I'll have to give it a go
(Today I ahve been working on constipation (no actual bottoms involved) :o I have a glamorous job :o)

What, like really working on it? (arf)

Hot shower, boiling hot flannel, scrub face. Pores of a 12yo.

You must get the 10X magnifying mirror made by Tweezerman.

It is amazing!

Yes, pore strips and tweezerman.

Also, I think, some people on the Sizzle thread were trying salicylic acid peels for pore problems.

Cheaper than the tweezerman one

body shop

nah they let me cover it with a tidssue before I sat down :o
Magnifying mirror sounds good - I've always found a temptation to squeeze spots when the light is good and I can actually see the buggers
