or do you just have to live with them? I've heard those little strips don't work (and they're probably overpriced).

I have this problem as well..

if you are willing to do this every day, eventually it will go away:

get a towel, then put hot water on it... then rub your nose like a mofo!! you should see the blackheads pop out in ur towel.

Overpriced? they're like $5 for 12 strips.

I once read that... well, gently scrape a dime across the area. Dont know if it works or not, but I read it in one of VeggieFrog's teenager mags a few years back.

Those little strips actually work pretty well. I tired my fiancee's and they took the blackheads right out. There are store brand ones that aren't too expensive.

kitty litter with a little bit of water to make mushy stuff... rub it on and wipe it off after a few minutes

They do work, but are overpriced. $4 for a 6 little pieces of paper, what the hell?

Those strips take out the surface blackheads very effectively but they suck for the ones that are the iceberg type (most of the blackhead is under skin).

I dont think rubbing the skin like crazy would be too good either

Blackheads form thru the mixture of dead skin & sweat, so it would probably help that you wash your face twice a day.

You people are disgusting. Just be sure when you are making out with your latest boyfriend that the dome light in your Yugo isn't working.

Super adhesive tape.

Seriously, try it. Stick it on your nose for a minute or two and peel it off.

Look at what it pulls off.

:::sigh:::

Some people think that because they are not prone to blackheads other people who are are "disgusting" or dirty somehow.

Newsflash: We are not all built the same. Some people are more prone to blackheads no matter how many times a day they wash. The size of your pores is genetic, and the larger your pores, the more prone to blackheads you are... no matter how clean you are.
