I was doing my eyebrows today and I was looking in my magnified mirror when I realized that I had horrible black heads all on my nose. Can any of you recommend natural remedies or products I could buy to get rid of these blackheads? 😔

I've heard baking soda works really well haven't tried it yet. I read this article on beautylish last night that I'm going to test out, just have to go get some biore pores strips. http://www.beautylish.com/a/vxsxa/make-pore-strips-work-better

Biore pore strips work good on me not fantastic but hopefully with that concoction it will, @erin they don't make my pores bigger. :)

The st Ives is so bad for your skin!! Don't use it! The rough exfoliation beads causes micro tears in your skin, which will in turn cause wrinkles

The nose strips are pretty fun to use. They won't get rid of them all, but so worth it :) try steaming your face first

Pore strips are definitely an option! they never used to work for me either until I started putting them on immediately after getting out of the shower, & without drying my face at all first.
I would also invest in a good exfoliator, toner, & a facial mask meant for deep cleaning pores to help prevent them from forming c:

I second the st. Helene mint julep it works very well on my skin, and its blackhead city on my nose:( I follow up with witch hazel as toner and cetaphil for moisturizer, and I've seen an improvement.

I will tell you a simple way out. I too have oily skin and faces this black and white head problem a lot. Try this one it might help you take few lemon drops in s bowl and add lil honey too it. Mix it and apply on your nose leave it for 15 minutes and then rinse off your face with water. Black and white heads will come up now you can use towel and rub your nose with it. I really don't know whether the tool for taking out blackhead is commercially available at place where you stay if it is use can use it. Avoid excessive running of towel as it will cause redning of nose.

Do not use St.Ives! In the long run it ruins your skin because it creates micro cuts (I even used to use it, but I won't now because of that). Try a mask like Freeman's, The Body Shop, or Biore's new Charcoal Mask. I have also try the Elmer's glue trick and it worked better than pore strips did (just google Elmer's glue for blackheads).

The body shops 3 in 1 blue corn mask is a good one. its a clay mask, and after leaving it on your skin for a few minutes you exfoliate with it. it left my very very blackheads ridden nose looking clean and the rest of my face looked very good too. highly recommend!

Ugh I feel like I've tried everything for blackheads and not many things work for me. Mario Badescu's "Silver Powder" helps the most out of any type of mask, scrub, pore strip, or home remedy that I've tried. It definitely minimizes the look of them and helps tighten up the pores in that area. The only downsides are that it doesn't last very long and its quite messy. My dermatologist prescribed me Finacea Azelaic Acid Gel for my blackheads (and slight redness). I've only been using it for two days, but hopefully it will clear them up since nothing else really does.
