I have had a problem with blackheads since I was 13, I'm now 17. It's gotten better through the years as I learned what worked best in my skin, I use an exfoliated every few days and a cream cleanser morning and night, then I use hydrogen peroxide and unscented witch hazel as a toner and moisturizer. But I still can't get rid of the blackheads in my nose and I get clogged pores as well. I'm thinking about buying a Clarisonic but I'd really like to find something I could try that's cheaper. Any suggestions??

Try biore pore strips they worked great for me and they aren't that expensive :)

An extraction tool. It's a little metal wand with a hoop on the end. You press it down on your skin with the blackhead in the centre of the hoop. The pressure pops it out. More hygienic and leaves less scarring than squeezing and picking. It works best right after using a pore strip cos all the gunk is loosened :)

Neutrogena wave is good in the blackhead cleansing pads

If you want a natural recipe. Use half a lemon, put honey on it. Then scrub into your pores for a minute or so. Let it sit on your face for 5-10mins, following with a warm water rinse. I do this every other day, and it's made a big difference. Hope I was helpful! xo :)

Washing with black soap can clean our pores when done 2-3 times a week. It's great on your face and neck.
