I had a facial today, and the lady did some extraction, but told me that they were very deep so she couldn't do that many....So how would I get rid of them? Would using a biore strip like twice a week for a month help, by slowly drawing out the blackhead mm by mm until it finally comes out? ThanksDeep, Deep Blackheads?? Facial couldnt' get rid o them?
What you need to do (which the esthetician should have told you)
You need to cleanse your skin every day twice a day, use a exfoliant (not an abrasive one, only a cream or gel type)
Eventually they will dissapear, but may not completely go away. But it will helpDeep, Deep Blackheads?? Facial couldnt' get rid o them?
Here are some tips you can try...Hope this helps:
1. Exfoliate the blackhead area 3-4 times a week using facial exfoliators and scrubs.
2. Use creams containing AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Fruit acids) like glyco-creams that will clear away any dead skin cells and ';expose'; the blackhead. Use the AHA's every 3 days or so.
3. Sunshine or ultra-violet light encourages skin peeling, and so helps to clear blocked pores. So sunbathing or use of sun-beds in moderation can be helpful.
4. Avoid washing the face with soaps more than twice a day. Instead wash your face often with plain water splashes.
5.Often use a mask with a clay base
If blackheads look ready to pop out, you could try removing them gently by using a blackhead extractor. This is a neat little instrument with a hole at one end.Otherwise use your fingers. Steam your face first to soften both the skin and the material blocking the pores. Then wrap the fingers in tissues and gently roll against either side of the blackhead. If it won't budge easily, leave well alone, as too much pressure will bruise and break the skin, making your face red and blotchy for days to come, and possibly leaving tiny broken veins. Finish by applying a medicated cream to the empty pore.
Try using some Biore products for blackheads. And keep getting facials :)
