Blackhead facials..........?

Is going to a beauty therapist to extract blackheads the best treatment to remove them?.... deep and very stubborn ones?


I have pretty serve blackheads and have litterally used everything out there to get rid of them from pore strips to metal extractors to scrubs and to medication. None have worked.


thanks a bunch for adviceBlackhead facials..........?
If you've tried every type of over the counter stuff then yes, it'd probably be best to go to a ';professional';.


Though, I would try to lay off the stuff for a little while- too much scrubbing/ picking at your skin is going to make the blackheads worse. :(


Have you tried the steam treatment before %26amp; after doing the scrub then doing the strips? The steam is going to loosen stuff up pretty good, the scrub is going to bring stuff up to the surface/ remove some of the gunk, re-steaming to get the extra stuff up and then the strips to rip those things off... then a mild astringent should clean it all up.Blackhead facials..........?
Going to get a professional treatment would help quite a bit in getting the deep blackheads out.





Blackheads are caused when the dead skin cells form layers, and the sebum (oil) in your skin starts to turn ';black'; when the oxygen hits it. Blackheads will just keep getting deeper and larger, because the dead skin cells will continually build up. Every skin cell in our body is on a 28 day cycle which means it starts in the basal layer, and as it starts coming to the surface, it changes, keratinises (gets hard) and dies.





A professional treatment would do a very in depth cleanse, exfoliation with steam, and then mask. They would also recommend that you use a cleanser every morning and night, with a good moisturizer to control the sebum, and put moisture back into your skin. They also have products which they could recommend to exfoliate the skin as needed.





The skin is very tough, because it protects our whole body, as it is supposed to do, but the skin on the face is also very fragile, and you need to treat it right.





Don't do too many scrubs, or treatments on the same day, as you may seriously irritate your skin and cause more problems.
Omg this is so weird, i have been researching for the past hour of cures for acne, blackheads and whiteheads, and am sitting here with a honey over my nose (where blackheads are) and a bandaid over it. It sounds like a pretty good treatment, and from the research i've done it helps alot, the only downside is you have to do it frequently, but don't make the mistake i did. I put so much honey in my cup (so that i can put it on my nose) but in the end i used only like a dot of honey, since it spreads well.





Anyway, this should be done overnight (thats what the bandaid is for, to keep the honey on) but i was too impatient to wait hehe. Hope it works for me!! Try it too
