I have few blackheads recently, before what I had its not noticeable.
How to remove it safely, but effectively?
I tried pore strips, different brands, they only took out a little.
Exfoliate did the same thing for me.
Can I use my hands? I usually do tht.
But will it leave holes? Im scared -O-"

PS : I saw some japanese products like a mask or sth at japanese make up store, anyone used it yet? how is it?



Pleaaase and thanks in advance ^^

At japanese stores they have this kind of gel that you put onto your nose (where the blackheads are) and you leave it there for like ionno how long but it heats up and then it'll open up your pores and the blackheads will come out =o i never tried it tho... although ive been wanting to for some time.. or you can always put put your head above a bowl of hot water... just make sure you dont burn yourself... lol the steam will open up the pores on your face and nose area... and then you can squeeze it out with your hands... just make sure you use toner afterwards =] or if you have access to a sauna... then you can just sit in there for like 5-10 minutes and then squeeze all the blackheads out then =o just make sure that after every time you get the blackheads out... you use toner afterwards.

... I hope this helps you x]

I've used a blackhead remover stick. Well, my aunt did it for me since it was my first time. It's temporary pain when the stick comes in contact with your skin but afterward, the blackheads are gone and so is the pain.

thanks guys! i will try to find those ones at a japanese store..
it wont enlarge ur pores right ? cuz after its out, theres like this tiiiiiiny little hole.
is it normal?

[plumplum]

^ Yep, it's just your clean pore. Rinse with cold water and it should be less obvious.

It looks like that. I think it comes with a pouch to put it in. I'm not sure where you can purchase it since the one I used was my aunt's.

&& they sell that at Sephora (not sure about anywhere else)

[Misao]

wow blackheads are so beautiful.. i love watching videos of people pulling out their blackheads and you see wormy stuff coming out ~~~ and pictures of the blackheads..<33 -shivers- so beautiful..

LEMONS!
Did you see that lemon thread somewhere here? They say that juice squeezed out of lemon diluted with water can get rid of black and white heads as well as pimples and lightenings your face.
You have to apply it to your face, wait until dries and wash it off.
It if stings you should add a bit more water.

Or you can simply steam them with warm water. and squeezed lightly >.<

AHH I AGREE
So painful.
My mom has her salon so I get it regularly, I get teary-eyed each time.
But beauty is pain :[

And when I use the pore strips, the blackheads come faster the next day -.-

but I think using the stick is probably the safest way to get no scars when you do it right. ;o

that sounds painful...the part about it heating up. Or does it feel like a sharp sting?

LOL.

Anyways, I use the Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque before I remove them.

Then after washing it off, my skin is way softer, so I use my blackhead remover tool like Pseudonym posted, and then squeeze them out.
Since they're softened, they come out way easier that that means less pain!

I don't know if it's the "safest" way, but definitely less painful than just doing it without softening and opening up the pores.

looks gross but it looks like the results are better than pore strips which i usually use.

i googled the Shiseido Black Mask thing and there seems to be a few people from Singapore livejournals selling them............... any Singaporeans on soompi know where to get it? :x
