Blackheads

I don't have bad skin, just an occasional zit, but I do have blackheads! They are only on my nose, and strangely enough, I htink they are worse in the winter...
Does anyone have a solution or face wash that wont dry my skin out that treats blackheads and actually works?

If your skin is worse in winter, you need a nightly moisturizer. I thought it was kind of backwards since oil creates bad skin for me, but it cleared my problem areas right up.

I use this:

which drys my skin out a bit, so in the winter only, I follow it up with this:

And in terms of blackheads, this clears mine right up:

(I also don't put many chemicals and parabens and whatnot on my skin, so these are more natural products.)

I know this is a late post but I'm new here. I read the Topic and I wanted to share how I have gotten rid off mine.
TOMATO! Weird, yes! but it really works!
This is what do
(Before anything I cut a tomato into about four pieces vertically, only need one piece and you can store the rest in a ziplock or something for your next use. You also need a cloth or like a bounty paper towel)

-make sure your face is clean first, so wash your face with what ever cleanser you have.
- let the faucet run really warm to almost hott water, soak the cloth and apply to face. I do this for about a min (you want your pores to open up with the steam)
-then you take the tomato on rub it on your problem areas (I just do my whole face because I just love how my face feels afterwards)
- you have to let the tomato set and dry on your face for about 30-45mins (kinda like a mask)
- then I let the warm/hot water run again soak cloth once again and remove the tomato using circular motions. On the areas with blacks heads you need to gently squeeze w/ cloth and warm/hot water to push out black heads.
Becareful when you squeeze. Don't be rough because you can bruise your skin.

Now I recommend to do this everyday for a week then you can maybe do it 3 to 2 times a week.

I got this home remedy from my mom..she use to have a lot of blackheads on her nose and then one day I realize they were gone!! I asked if she had gotten a facial? Her response was "no, I just been rubbing tomato on my face. I saw it on one of those beauty shows on t.v.."

I was amazed! Of course I had to try and sure enough by week two I had ZERO blackheads I was going around saying "look at my nose! Doesn't it look pretty!" Lol

Sorry for the long reply!! Hope that helps. I also recommend always wearing a good moisturizer and st. Ives exfoliating products are great too incase the tomato is something you wouldn't do.
