Its beauty tips time!!!!!!

Effective Tips to get rid of blackheads
- Exfoliate the blackhead prone area 3-4 times a week using facial exfoliators and scrubs.
- Use creams containing AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Fruit acids) like glyco-creams that will clear away
any dead skin cells and "expose" the blackhead. Use the AHA's every 3 days or so.
- Keep your hair away from your face. Greasy hair and skin go together, and hair can spread infection.
- Sunshine or ultra-violet light encourages skin peeling, and so helps to clear blocked pores.
So sunbathing or use of sun-beds in moderation can be helpful.
- Avoid washing the face with soaps more than twice a day. (In fact u shldnt be using soap, u should use a facial cleanser)
Instead wash your face often with plain water splashes.
- Often use a mask with a clay base (I'm using Bioglo oceanic mask currently. Mayb u wan 2 try tat. :)

To squeeze or not to squeeze?
Pore cleanser strips (pore pack) for removal of blackheads are highly recommended for the treatment/removal of blackheads.
Using them once per week will leave your pores cleaner and smaller.
Otherwise use your fingers. Steam your face first to soften both the skin and the material blocking the pores.
Then wrap the fingers in tissues and gently roll against either side of the blackhead.
If it won't budge easily, leave well alone, as too much pressure will bruise and break the skin,
making your face red and blotchy for days to come, and possibly leaving tiny broken veins.
Finish by applying a medicated cream to the empty pore.
Only ever squeeze a spot with a definite head that looks about to burst -
pressure on an unready infected spot spreads bacteria below the skin's surface, infecting the surrounding tissue.
Bad spots need a doctor's advice, and he may suggest antibiotic or even hormone therapy.
