So I have really oily skin and I hate it but it means I get so many little blackheads around my nose and on my chin. I have prom on Friday and I'd really like to get rid of them by then. Is it possible? I've tried like egg facials but they don't seem to work.. any ideas?

Have you tried either of the biore strips? I really like the charcoal nose strips. I've been getting blackheads in the same areas, I usually put one strip on my nose, and then cut another one and fit it to my chin.

A black head is an open comedo with debris covering it, and the most important thing to remember is that unlike a pimple you cannot just shrink them, you have to extract from the inside out. Blackheads can emerge if moisturizers, sun screens, make up, or foundations are overused and irritate the skin, so sometimes they are not preventable but you can definitely help your skin clear our sebum to avoid the clogging of pores. Be consistent with your skin care routine, and try your best to incorporate salicylic acid into your face washing regimen. Also known as beta hydroxy acid, salicylic acid dives deep into the pores to break up any mischief that the cells and oil can cause. It’s oil soluble, which means that it can easily blend in with other oils like skin’s sebum, making for easy access into the pores. Once inside, salicylic acid begins to separate the oil and dead skin cells, essentially unclogging the pore, this solves the problem from the inside out as sometimes simply extracting will just cause the black head to return.
Nose strips remove newer and looser black heads, but not all of them will come out if they are larger or more stuck in their place, this is a good place to start and minimize the appearance of black heads but ultimately will not get rid of them. You can also extract black heads, though not recommended to do often there are specific tools meant for this and you must be sure to research properly. The best ones to extract yourself are the more stubborn ones, they will come back but they will come back softer and easier to ultimately get rid of. You should also be exfoliating regularly to avoid any build up on your skin if you are prone to clogging of the pores.
