Are blackheads permantent?

No.  Even if you don't squeeze them, they will eventually come out when you wash your face.\n\nYou DO wash your face, don't you?

severe heat or strong acid/base will burn them right off.  Anything that leaves a scar will alter them.

Neither.\nThey are composed largely of keratin, very closely related to the keratin found in skin.  They are made up of cells, but living ones, not dead.

Other parts of the body...eyebrows, around the outer side of the nostrils and behind the ears... can get flaking, which is mistaken for dandruff. I've never heard of inside the nostrils...but that may be possible.  It's a skin condition called keratosis...there are different severities/symptoms of this condition.  In a milder form, there is a a lot of flaking, some redness and scaliness to the affected areas.  The skin flakes off.  Any tar or tea tree-oil based soap or shampoo works well....although I wouldn't be putting anything up your nose! For the nose area, I'd check with your doctor or dermatologist.

Many people believe that in order to prevent or reduce pimples, you need to cut down on the amount of oil that accumulates on your skin. What they don't realize is that pimples develop from the formation of blackheads and whiteheads.\n\nThese blackheads and whiteheads develop from what is inside of your body, and not from what is on the outside of your skin. So in order to get rid of the pimples, you have to be able to control what you put into your body.\n\nUntil you are able to do this, you will not be able to permanently get rid of your pimples.

There's not a whole lot you can do to close your pores. You have large pores because you have oily skin...again, nothing you can do about it. The only thing you can do is to make sure your skin is clean. Every morning, wash your face with plain soap and hot water (the hot water opens the pores even more, allowing the dirt to be cleared out). Then, use a light moisturizer (oil free) on your face (one that has a SPF of at least 8). Treat blackheads with any treatment that contains ingredients that fight blackheads (can't remember the name of that acid that starts with an S ). Never squeeze your zits, as this can cause scars. Make sure you wash your pillow case every week, as this holds the oil from your face, and can make things worse for your face. There are many products on the market that help treat breakouts. Being an Avon representative, I recommend the Clearskin line, which has everything you need to keep your face clean. If you continue having skin problems, go to a dermatologist, who can give you prescriptions to help you better deal with your skin. Also, you can treat your face to a weekly sauna. Boil a pot of water, set the pot on the table, then throw a towel over your head while you keep your face about 8-12 inches above the pot. Stay in the "sauna tent" for about 15-20 minutes. Afterward, use the towel to wipe off your face, then wash with your soap & use your moisturizer. Keep your routine as simple as possible, so that you're more likely to stick with it. Never go to bed with make-up on. And only wear foundation for special occasions, so as to keep your pores from becoming clogged. If you've already done all you can, then just keep doing it. It's been my experience that most skin types go through stages, and can often clear up, over time. <*)))><

assuming they are ingrown hairs....exfoliate.

Sounds like a 'blackhead' but under the skin, gets a little infected and swells up.\n\nNo matter how clean you are, that is a place that gets sweaty.\n\nPop them and clean them.\n\nIf it falls off, see a doc.

Have heard Proactive is really good, but have never tried it.\n\nI have never had acne so not really experienced on the subject but I do know two things ...\n\ntoothpaste dries out pimples and witch hazel diminishes redness and black heads\n\nhope this helps!

I'd call it more of a compulsion then an addiction but yes. Many people including myself have this problem. It does give you a sorta pleasurable release. For me it isn't just my face but anywhere and it can be a pimple or just a scab. Can't help myself I just pick it. Sounds gross I know... lol. It doesn't have to be on me either. Whenever I see someone with a ripe pimple it is all I can do not to reach out and pop it for them. I used to BEG my boyfriend to let me pop his pimples and blackheads. He HATED it but because he knew how much I loved doing it he would let me... lol.

What it is. Black hair. There is such a thing as black hair.

or comedy noses?  Not that I own a comedy nose.  Or comedy noses attached to moustaches and glasses.  not that I own one of those either.  I don't have a beard or a moustache but I am over 30 so do get those little fuse-wire type hairs on my chin occasionally.  Would I be banned?  And what about shipwrecked people who haven't got a razor, when they get rescued will they be arrested?

NOOOOOO do not force them out you will end up have huge holes in your face if you continue use a wash or see a doctor but never force anything!! If you do you will most likely cause scaring and even more occurances of blackheads and pimples.

They say "metrosexuals" do but I think men care about their bodies too!  I mean who wants to have acne and black heads?  My husband uses the Mary Kay skin care line as its all fragrance free and "safe" for men to use.  I love how soft his skin is and since he uses satin lips his lips are kissable and soft instead of chapped like they once were.  He does not get those bumps from shaving or ingrown hairs now that he maintains his skin care routine.  As a Mary Kay consultant I facial men all the time..I think you would be surprised who really does care for their skin.  \n\nMegan

|¬¤vv †¤ @|vv@¥§ |¬@>€ ¢|€@® §/<¡ñ!!!\n\n\n.þ¡^^þ|€§ @®€ @ §¢¤ü®ç€ They come suddenly during the night attacking us in our sleep. Sometimes during the middle of the day they will come they come and you don't know until you have said good afternoon to an office full of people. You go in the bathroom and see it and you think to yourself I can't believe I was out in the public looking like this. ñ¤† @ñ¥^^¤®€! Mother Nature is on your side. For every chemical there is a natural that is it's equal. Of course the natural way takes a little time, but usually ¡† ¡§ ¢|¬€@þ€® @ñÐ ß€††€® ƒ¤® ¥¤ü!\n\nLemons, tomatoes and witch hazel are all proven to fight and keep acne at bay. Lemons and tomatoes are both fruits, yes fruits, with a second quality not known to all humankind. What you want to do is cut it open. Cutting it in fours goes a long way. Take each piece of lemon or tomato and rub it on your face. You may have a little something left on your face. Just leave it there. It's for your own good. They will make pimples Ð¡§@þþ€@® @|^^¤§† ¤>€®ñ¡ç|¬†! It they don't disappear they will be smaller the next time you check. Lemon is also good for removing scars. That means any pimples you popped in angst that left a scar will go away over time. Lemon contains acid so it's like having an acid peel thing going, but not. Your skin will be so clear you can §€† †|¬@† ^^@/<€üþ @§¡Ð€ ƒ¤® §þ€¢¡@| ¤¢¢@§¡¤ñ§!\n\nAnother thing that works is /<€€þ¡ñç ¥¤ü® ƒ@¢€ vv¡þ€Ð ¤ƒƒ. You don't really need soap. All you want is for your pores to stay closed. How you say. Water. Yes, water. Bottled or tap water. All it has to be is cold. Wet a face rag with cold water. I hate to have cold anything on me, but I hear þ@¡ñ ¡§ ß€@ü†¥! Wipe your face with a cold wet rag everyday before setting out for the day. Wipe it again went you get in and once more before bed. Your pores will stay closed. You will keep the irritation of the skin on your face down and it should be pretty clear. Also try to remember to /<€€þ ¥¤ü® |¬@ñÐ§ ¤ü† ¤ƒ ¥¤ü® ƒ@¢€. Your fingertips and nails hold a lot of germs and touch a lot of dirt. Putting them in your face increases the chance of irritation thus creating those hideous pimples. \n\nWitch Hazel is a natural way to clear ones face, too. It is an astringent. Yes, an astringent, just like the other products claim to contain. Witch Hazel is also cold almost anywhere you store it so it's like using water only it pulls impurities up out of your skin. Your will apply this anywhere from two to three times a day. Before bed is really good. As you sleep your body goes through a lot of things I am not scientifically equipped to elaborate on or prove. I just notice that if you do your beauty regimens at night and go to bed when you wake up in the morning ¥¤ü §|¬¤ü|Ð ß€ >€®¥ þ|€@§€Ð vv¡†|¬ †|¬€ ®€§ü|†§ when you wake up in the morning.

Hi,Getting rid of blackheads is something that should be done hygienically.\n\nWhilst it is easy enough to squeeze most of them with your fingers, this is not the most hygienic and therefore not the recommended method.\n\nWhat you should rather do is buy a special blackhead remover pen.\n\nThis is something that you align over the spot and then press down and it reaches in and literally pulls out the blackhead.\n\nIt is a much better and more hygienic way to go.\n\nYou can buy them in most beauty related stores and also you can buy them off the internet if required, as blackhead removers or a similar name.\n\nNote that if you do squeeze them it can actually cause infection in the area around so is really better avoided.

To tell you the truth NO type of pore strip is going to help with blackheads...I have tried them all. I would really strongly recommend St. Ives Apricot Scrub for Normal skin...within a week you will notice much healthier skin and a lot less blackheads.
