i use cetaphil because its gentle enough. I've tried to get rid of my blackheads in the past but using cleansers really don't really do the trick. need something to suck it out or exfoliate. try scrubs and masks. open your pores before you splat it on
Proactiv works really good for me, but I know this other person who had some bad reaction to it... Otherwise, that St. Ive's Apricot scrub is good too
lol just go thru the mall and get all the free samples and try them at home ^^, but i find that this aloe vera face gel one works good ^^
clean and clear? what brand is that? i never seen it =/ or heard of it.. is it really good at helping to get rid of blackheads?
Have you ever tired Jurlique? It can be quite pricey, but it's a very nice facewash, and keeps my face clear.
Re: Hi, I don't find any effectivs face wash for blackheads but I would suggest you.......... Fenugreek is a powerful anti-blackhead herb. To cure your blackheads crush some fenugreek leaves and make a paste with water. Apply this on the affected area, say face, for about 10 minutes. And rise with lukewarm water. This will curtail blackhead growth. For clear skin, free from blackheads, apply this paste every night before bed. This is another easy to apply night pack for blackheads. Apply a mix of 1 teaspoon of coriander leaves juice and half teaspoon of turmeric powder before going to bed. And next morning, wash it with the cold water. Not only your blackheads will be reduced but your skin complexion will also be improved. Mix 1 teaspoon of curd and rice flour to make a paste. Apply it on the blackhead affected area. And wash your face with cold water. Baking Soda & Water a) This is a blackhead extraction method. By mixing equal amounts of baking soda and water, make a solution and rub it for few minutes. Now wash off with luke warm water and some of your blackheads would be removed. b) Boil 4 cups of water in a pan and put 2 teaspoons of baking soda in it. Now place a towel over the pan and touch the towel on the affected area. Repeat the exercise for five to six times. Epsom salt and iodine Take a cotton wad and soak it in a solution made from Epsom salt, iodine and warm water. Dab the cotton wad on your blackheads and it will loose the pores. Next, you can use any of the effective face scrubs like green tea scrub to remove the blackheads. Fuller's earth, glycerin soap and almond powder Put in the exact ratio of 1:2:4, fuller's earth, glycerin soap, and almond powder in warm water to make a smooth paste. Now put it over your blackheads. Keep it for some time and then wash of. good luck !!!!! Tx, Yeast Infection
Scrubs are a good idea...but make sure you use one that's not so abrasive...some of them just irritate your skin some more and make you all pink and "rashy" looking. I've used Peter Thomas Roth Blemish Buffing Beads...it's for combination to oily skin types.
i second cetaphil. i mix it with baking soda and use it as a gentle microscrub and it makes my face feel softer
You can try the facewash of Dior Homme.......before you buy...you better ask for a sample...maybe you have an another skintype
