I get blackheads all around my nose and on my chin, how can I cover them better ?!

You definitely don't want to cover them, you want to get rid of them! The most effective way I have use is biore blackhead strips. You wet them, stick them to a place you have black heads, and wait for it to dry. When you peel it off, the black heads will go with it! There is also blemish extractors and they have saved me many times. There is cheap ones at the drug store, so you'll want to place your face over a bowl of hot water to open your pores and then use the extractor to gently push down on the black head and it'll come out. A blackhead is a pore clogged with dirt and bacteria. They can turn to painful cystic zits or blemishes so you definitely don't want to just cover them up. They won't disappear on their own!

I suggest using a face wash that gets the oil out of your skin, but nothing to fancy. Maybe something fragrance-less if your skin is really sensitive. But you don't want your skin to dry out so after washing your face you should use a TINY bit of cocoa butter just so your won't dry out and add more breakage. Also, try not to touch your face alot because that has alot to do with blackheads.
If you are looking for a fast way to cover them you can you concealer. But if you have the choice, I recommend not to because it just clogs your pores, creating more blackheads. Hope I could help!!!!

Hi brittany, you can make a diy blackhead remover strip using milk and unflavoured gelatine. 1 tbsp of each, put it on a glass and microwave. That's all :) it's inexpensive and it works. After removing the strip, moisturize your skin ! I use coconut oil to do so.

Be careful with blackhead strips! I used them a few times but got left with permanent redness. Another solution could be the oil cleansing method. I totally empty all of my nose pores every few days and it's such a nice feeling! Plus seeing blackheads just fall out into your hands is COOL

I'm interested in the oil cleansing method. Just mix both oils and then slather it all over your nose area?

Basically, and as you rub the oils into your pores they will dissolve the hardened sebum in your pores and pull it out. Sometimes this takes awhile so ill do it for like an hour while watching TV, haha. To take off the oil, the "official" way is to soak a washcloth under hot running water, then place it on your face for a few seconds for a quick steam, then wipe off all the oil. I sometimes do this, but it's also okay to just wash off the oil using a cleanser or exfoliant.
It's worth googling "oil cleansing method" if you want to learn more! You might get different results, but it's absolutely transformed my skin for the better. My pores have actually gotten smaller, too! :)
