Quick Tip: Banish Blackheads!

If you have extremely bad, deep, dark blackheads, keep reading.

Blackheads are extremely stubborn. I've bought countless things for them and they never seemed to go away. I tried washes, exfoliators, toners, and creams. None of those made a difference so I then tried tablets, which helped the rest of my skin but not my blackheads, but the following method really did work with a little bit of caution and care.


I used to have very large blackheads on my nose. I researched online that you could use Ear Wax Remover to remove them as it would melt the top layer that holds them into place, so the rest just comes out as your pores relax into a more closed position.

This site explains this method, however it didn't work for me.

I also found that Hair Removal Cream could be used in the same way. Hair Removal Cream will dissolve the top of the blackhead, but it will also dissolve your skin so you have to be EXTREMELY careful when doing this. Here is my method:

1) Cleanse your face with bar soap or an oil free soap. You want to get your face squeaky clean for this.

2) Wait. Wait until your face produces some oils, which shouldn't take long if you have blackheads!

3) Get a small amount of hair removal cream and apply to the area. Don't apply to areas without blackheads and make sure you only apply a thin layer.

4) Wait for no longer than 90 seconds. If you feel a tingle, wash off immediately. This might seem like a small amount of time, but the skin on your face is much more delicate than the rest of your body so if you leave it any longer, it will burn your skin.

5) Wash off using water. Make sure every little bit is gone.

6) Apply a gentle moisturiser that wont irritate your skin.

Done!

I did this every 5-7 days for a couple of weeks and it got rid of them. Its risky because if you leave it on a little too long, you could end up with a scabby nose. There should be a slight difference after each time you do this. Don't try leaving the cream on longer to get better results because your skin wont be able to take it.
