This lotion if applied to the face regularly all at bed time is very useful in removing pimples, blackheads and so other stains of the skin. It makes the skin soft, and can also be applied to other parts of the body. </p> http://www.acne-forum.com/topic/best-ways-get-rid-of-blackheads#post-8819 Thu, 05 May 2011 20:56:14 +0000 kaylap 8819@http://www.acne-forum.com/ <p>The American Institute Of Advanced Medicine can help!

For burning ones: apply some toothpaste (yes toothpaste) on them ant keep as much as possible - best until it dries. Rinse it off and the redness should be gone or less smaller.<br /> Secondly, about blackheads treatment later. I prefer natural href="http://www.nosecosmetic.com/BlackHeads-on-Nose/Home-Remedies-For-Blackheads.html"> home remedies for blackheads. Yesterday I've tried applying toothpaste on blackheads, and it helped :)</p> <p> Rub affected area with banana peel and salt (sounds crazy I know)<br /> Rub blackheads with tomato or lemon juice, but be carefull, it might burn skin if used for too long.<br /> Use tee tree oil</p> <p>And to avoid scars use href="http://www.nosecosmetic.com/BlackHeads-on-Nose/Blackheads-Extractor.html"> comedone remover next time.</p> <p>And visit href="http://www.nosecosmetic.com/BlackHeads-on-Nose/Home-Remedies-For-Blackheads.html"> home remedies for blackheads - I'm too lazy to caunt all natural treatmens mentioned there :). </p> <p>Good luck. </p> http://www.acne-forum.com/topic/dirt-and-blackheads/page/2#post-5260 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 04:38:44 +0000 Stan 5260@http://www.acne-forum.com/ <p>Yes, dairy is the worst food for causing acne. If your stomach loves milk, well reduce your intake and eat vegetables regularly. You may still need milk once in a while. You should obey your stomach to a point, but if you are drinking lots of milk, well that's a big contributor to your acne. One or two glasses a day should be enough. Some people don't drink milk at all. Vegetables like spinach and brocolli will give you a lot of calcium. Calcium will give you better sleep. Enough good sleep can cure Acne along with a good diet. Tossed salads are good for the complexion. Remember, milk is full of grease and too much greasy will come out on the skin. Sugar will make the skin oily too. It causes more hormone production.</p> <p>I had acne real bad when I was a teen. It left in two weeks when I joined the military.</p> <p>I'm wrighting a book on Acne now. Raised two boys and managed to keep their acne under control.</p> <p>Curing acne is just doing the basics. That's not easy when you are a teen living in America.</p> <p>If you were growing up in a foreign country where there were no greasy comfort foods and processed foods you wouldn't be able to get Acne.</p> <p>So learn to eat your vegetables. Eat fruit. Get your sleep. Losing sleep and consuming sugar and caffeine are very bad for your complexion.</p> <p>In the military I hit the sak at 9:00 every night and was woke up at 5:00 every morning. My skin on my face and chest lost the excess oiliness in a week and a half.</p> <p>In basic training we weren't allowed to go back for seconds and the desserts were not very big, just small portions, but we ate on time every day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. </p> <p>So, it was the getting to bed early, eating enought good food and very small amounts of desserts, and the low stress. Yes, the military had us for a while. Our life was on hold, so we had no real worries and there wasn't the tension over the opposite sex to exite the skin.</p> <p>The vegetables in the diet have a great deal to do with relaxing the skin and slowing down oil production because of the calcium. Brocolli is on of the best foods for the skin, and spinach. You get all kinds of vitamins and calcium. Avacados are good too. You get monounsaturated fatty acids. Avacados are better than eating potato chips for you skin. They are high in vitamin A which is good for the skin. </p> <p>Don't over eat, especially out of stress and worries. Just have fun and be happy. There is no time like the teenage years for being happy and going out on dates with someone you really like. Being happy has so much to do with the hormone balance and your complexion. </p> <p>Have you ever noticed how teens in love glow. They don't breakout, they glow because they are complete and happy, so get that way. Your teenage years only come around once, so enjoy them.

Picking at blackheads and pimples causes lesions (tiny scars/damage) to your skin which often times causes your skin to produce tiny amounts of collagen which look like very small white heads under your skin. It will be red and inflammed (swollen) for awhile, put some ice on it and after a few days it will shrink but may never fully go away. The Doctors are right "Don't Pick". Pick one, get two more. Believe it or not putting vaseline on a big black head for couple nights in a row will actually draw it out, but only if it is not infected into a pimple. </p> http://www.acne-forum.com/topic/blackhead-extraction-disaster#post-5229 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 06:22:44 +0000 keepblackheads 5229@http://www.acne-forum.com/ <p>I am 41 years old and around age 22 I decided I did not want anymore black heads and squeezed them all out. Big, Big, BIG, BIG MISTAKE! My face has been in complete disaray ever since. I have had every acne treatmnet known to man in these twenty years since and all they do is strip off a layer of skin. My skin is very thin now and overly sensitive and very prone to redness. Blackheads are not bad, in fact once you pull them out you now have an exposed pore that is more susecptable to infection and acne. It also triggers your skin into making more oil as you just sucked out a great deal of it when you removed the black head. This will cause your skin to go into over drive for oil production and actually make your face worse. Leave black heads where they are, they are part of your skins natural biology. If you don't like the looks of them consider a little makeup, both men and women. Be very careful about using acne medicines as most if not all seem to remove as much or more healthy skin than they do one bacteria infected pore. This causes your skin to thin and become even more prone to acne. I clean very gently with no soap, water only, and now use a lot of vaseline on my face every night and my skin is much better - it even seems to reduce my pore sizes as my skin thinks its well oiled and actually slows down oil production. I know it locks in the moisture in my skin and moisture is always of great benefit to the body. At first your may start to break out, but it is just your skin finally pushing out all the bad stuff trapped in it - it will get better. On occasion that I do get a pimple I treat it with some benzoyl perioxide - but it only. To this day I have not been able to replace many of the blackheads I removed twenty-some years ago and have the very bad and extrememly red complexion to prove it. Keep your son's face moisturized at night and clean during the day and pray for blackheads - it will take time. </p> http://www.acne-forum.com/topic/black-head-extraction-failed#post-5226 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 02:51:15 +0000 tastoony 5226@http://www.acne-forum.com/ <p>Help, i tried to squeeze my blackhead with the metal loop, my blackhead was quite large.Unfortunately, nothing came out. The next day, the blackhead was gone, but now it became a lump, it's not painful when touch or pressed, it is red the first few days, but now it is white and is getting flatter and smaller i think.. . Help, does anybody have this problem? if yes, will it vanished? and how long? </p> http://www.acne-forum.com/topic/blackhead-extraction-disaster#post-4740 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 19:58:12 +0000 disele 4740@http://www.acne-forum.com/ <p>You need to do two different things: Blackhead prevention &#38; Blackhead removal:</p> <p>1. Blackhead prevention</p> <p>The best way for blackhead removal is preventing it from appearing. There are many ways you can do.</p> <p> * Hormones are the major cause of overproducing sebum. Stress and food play important roles in the hormone levels. So, stress release is a good way for blackhead prevention. Diet is another good way: Always avoid too much intake of fat and junk food.</p> <p> * Use a gentle skin exfoliant to remove dead cells from your skin, and keep the skin as clean as possible.</p> <p> * Do not use harsh soaps, which may irritate the skin. Use only natural cleansers instead.</p> <p> * Do a clay mask once a week for those with oily or combination skin. A good quality clay mask could help you to remove excess oil on your face, which is a cause of the blackhead.</p> <p> * Avoid oil-based cosmetics and heavy make up, which could clog your pores and cause blackheads.</p> <p>2. Blackhead removal</p> <p>There are some ways for blackhead removal:</p> <p> * Use a facial steamer to steam your face for a few minutes. This helps you to open up facial pores, and expose the blackheads. Pat your face dry. Then, use a blackhead remover to remove blackheads. Place the hole of the remover over a blackhead, and gently press down. This will apply the pressure from underneath the blackhead, and pop it up. Then use an alcohol pad to clean it up to avoid infection. Avoid harsh squeezing or scraping at the blackhead. Excessive squeezing can damage the skin surround the pore and can actually increase the size of the pore, leading to more blackheads in the future.</p> <p> * You can also use a pore strip. The adhesive action of pore strips can actually rip blackheads out of your face. Since most strips are medicated, this will ensure you don’t get an infection from the rather rough extraction. Use a facial steamer to steam your face first, and pat it dry. Then, just apply the strip to the blemished area, wait the prescribed amount of time instructed by the user manual, and rip the strip off, taking the blackhead with it.</p> <p>For more information, read this article:<br /> href="http://www.howtogetridofunwanted.com/health-beauty/how-to-get-rid-of-blackheads">How to get rid of blackheads<br />http://www.howtogetridofunwanted.com/health-beauty/how-to-get-rid-of-blackheads </p> http://www.acne-forum.com/topic/acne-treatment-baking-soda/page/2#post-4381 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:59:32 +0000 Anna2 4381@http://www.acne-forum.com/ <p>better, maybe, but will not disappear. anyway, it can be a good start. </p> http://www.acne-forum.com/topic/acne-treatment-baking-soda/page/2#post-4377 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 10:12:41 +0000 Suffered 4377@http://www.acne-forum.com/ <p>Hi all</p> <p>I tried the baking soda face mask just now and the massive acne on my face is looking smaller and less red.
