Have you tried going to a beautician and having a steam treatment? they blast hot steam over the area and then attack it with one of those special sticks with holes (???) i hope you know what i mean.

When I had them I would squeeze every one of them in the morning, even if I was going to be late. I find that by getting rid of each one by squeezing, I had less and less. By the time I was 18 they were gone.

Didn't you find that left you with sore blotchy red skin. I look like a freak if i try squeezing all my blackheads.

Yes but just use foundation to cover any blotches. I thought it was worth it to get rid of them, because I couldn't stand having blackheads.

But foundation doesn't really cover the blotches as they are so red and i also find that the foundation just blocks my pores up and causes even more blackheads.

And another question, how did you go about squeezing them?

by **Sylvia** on Wed Jul 07, 2004 12:32 pm

If you put one fingernail on either side of the blackhead and push them togther, the stuff will come out. It looks like hard yellow goo.

This is a really gross thread, do you to know that?

I know what you are saying about the blotches. I am darker so they didn't show as much, plus it was worth it anyway because I couldn't stand having blackheads and just wanted them out.

i use pore strips to remove blackheads, this way it's much easier and more hygienic. after peeling off the strips just wipe with cold cream and never wash your face with water for at least 2 hours .

Yeah i know it's a gross subject, but nowhere near as bad as lots of other threads i've viewed on the forums.

Thanks for all your advice, it is appreciated :lol:
