How do i get rid of my blackheads and clogged pores on my chin?

i use proactiv and ive seen an improvment, but not 100%. i still get little white bumps on my chin that are oh so fun to squeeze. i still have blackheads on my nose but i have freckles so they dont bother me as much. but i want flawless skin. is there anyway to get rid of these stupid bumps? even when i used retin a micro they were still there. |||If you have health insurance, your best solution might be to visit a dermatologist. He/she can recommend prescription medications that are certain to work better than over-the-counter treatments, since they%26#039;ll be tailored to act on your particular skin problems. This is what I currently use for my acne; my dermatologist prescribed a regimen of Tazorac, Duac, and minocycline. It works fantastically!





In addition to these, I use a tea tree oil toner from Bliss Soaps, a local company in Seattle. It%26#039;s available from www.blissoap.com. If you don%26#039;t want to mail-order your products, you could probably use any all-natural toner with a tea tree oil base. I cleanse my face with Cetaphil cleanser for sensitive skin. Be sure to use a gentle cleanser, since over-drying your face can cause your pores to tighten, trapping the blackheads inside. You also want to be sure to use a sunscreen during the day, since the medications increase the susceptibility of your skin to the sun. I use a Eucerin sunscreen/moisturizer with SPF 30. Any sunscreen marketed for facial use would probably work well.





Finally, I also use Biore pore strips occasionally; they can be useful for extracting clogs that are exposed at the surface of the skin.





Good luck!|||I saw the best results with medicated cream, it%26#039;s called Benzaclin. I got it to use on my acne, but it cleared my blackheads as well. The problem with %26quot;whiteheads%26quot; is that sometimes they come from the lotion you use to moisturize your face. %26quot; Whiteheads are form of acne and one of the greatest fears of the beauty - a build-up of oils, serum and dead skin that plugs up your pores.%26quot; that%26#039;s the answer I found on the internet. I found that exfoliating my face once or twice a week helps keep them at bay. Also I use the Johnson and Johnson cream cleanser and that helps my skin as well, but don%26#039;t use it too often as it will dry out your skin a bit. I usually live it on my skin for about 5 minutes. I use it on my face, my decolletage and my upper back if I see any signs of breakouts. I use that every day that I don%26#039;t use the Benzaclin.


Also if you do decide to go to your doctor and ask for the prescription but find out that it%26#039;s too expensive, go to TogetherRX.com and get their prescription discount card, it took off about 40% off.|||It might be overkill, but if you want acne completely gone, I%26#039;ve heard great things about ZenMed. I came across a website that has found a bunch of customer feedback about ZenMed. Your best bet is to at least check it out:

Apply the topical medicine directly onto the whiteheds and any other affected area of the skin.





You can鈥檛 get rid of whiteheads or blackheads overnight. It takes time. If used regularly, OTC topical medicines can be reasonably effective. Be patient. It might take 8 weeks or more before you will notice any difference in your skin. Most treatments would several weeks or even months before you can see any noticeable change.





Common OTC acne medicines used to treat acne include benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, resorcinol and sulfur. Each of this works differently and has different effects on the acne.





Benzoyl peroxide is useful for a mild case of comedones. It can also help to prevent formation of more whiteheads.





The effects of benzoyl peroxide are:








Antibacterial 鈥?Destroys and inhibits the growth of acne bacteria


Decreases the chemical reaction that cause changes to the lining of the hair follicle. This may help reduce the plugging that causes comedones.





Resorcinol and sulfur help to break down comedones like whiteheads and blackheads.





In addition to breaking down whiteheads and blackheads, salicylic acid also helps to reduce the shedding of cells lining the follicles of the sebaceous glands.





Topical OTC acne medicines come in various forms. It could be in the form of a gel, a lotion, a cream, a soap or pads.


Tretinoin (Retin-A, Avita, Renova) is the chief ingredient used in treatment of whiteheads and blackheads. Tretinoin is a derivative of vitamin A.





The effects of tretinoin are:











Increases skin cell renewal


Reduces the %26quot;stickiness%26quot; of the sloughed cells


Causes expulsion of plugged material


Converts closed comedones into open comedones. The material in these newly converted open comedones can be easily extruded.





Extraction may be used by a health care provider on open comedones or blackheads. This process is performed using a device called a comedone extractor. This is a small, metal, circular instrument that is centered on the comedone and pushes down the surrounding skin, causing the plug to extrude.|||Yep. You gotta go to a dermatologist.

It took about 3 weeks to see a noticeable difference and 4 weeks later the only remains on my face are a few scars which will heal over time. I stopped eating/drinking milk, cream, ice cream, cheese and basically anything with high milk contents.

After all these years of medication, expensive facial treatments, laser treatment anything you name it, i have done it, i can finally say im free from acne. I have to say though that i was shocked because of all the research ive done and doctors ive been to, never ever mentioned anything about dairy products and how they may be a major cause of acne. I also did more research about why milk may be a huge factor in acne and it came up with because of the hormones in milk that are produced by a cow when the cow is pregnant. It all makes sense and

Forget the products for now stop eating any dairy products and see if there is any difference.

Wash your face thoroughly but not aggressively. Use a mild cleanser that is meant for your skin type--dry, normal, oily or combination skin. Make sure to rinse skin completely to eliminate soapy residue.





Use a toner on your skin to diminish blemishes. Delicate rose water toners smell beautiful as well as do the job.





Exfoliate the dead skin cells. A gentle scrub with a grainy texture will remove dead skin which could clog pores. Exfoliating also allows other products to penetrate your skin more effectively.





Mask it. Apply a mask to your face to draw out dirt from deep within the pores. Don%26#039;t rub harshly or the skin could become damaged and develop further skin complications. Try mixing almond meal with water to make a natural mask and let it sit for approximately 20 minutes before rinsing.





Draw in pore size. Have a professional facial and/or extraction to minimize overall pore appearance. Eliminating blackheads can tighten pores and give the visible appearance of shrinking.





Use additional products like antioxidant creams to reduce the effects of over exposure to sun and pollutants. You%26#039;ll feel rejuvenated too.





Maintain your skins restoration with a regular cleansing and moisturizing regime. Healthy skin makes you look radiant and feel great.|||I recommend trying Biore%26#039;s warming facial scrub.

I would advice you to try some home based remedies for skin ,hair and weight problems, this link has some good information it sure did help me so here goes,

goodluck|||I posted the same answer on another question but it also applies to you.


Between the ages of 12 and 20, most people go through puberty (YUCK) Here%26#039;s what%26#039;s happening to your skin. Before anyone starts puberty, they usually have very smooth beautiful skin. This is because a child鈥檚 skin cycle is about 10 days ( children grow an entire new set of skin every 10 days). That%26#039;s why they have a natural glow and require no make-up. As you get into puberty, your skin cycle slows down drastically to 28 day cycle. This sends your body into shock. It%26#039;s still producing oils for the faster 10 day cycle. This is why you get oily. Stress and emotional factors also cause you to break out. Once your hormones and oil production slow down to fit your new 28 day skin cycle, your skin will stop breaking out as much. The only thing you can really do during puberty is use non chemical products (little or no alcohol) that won%26#039;t irritated the skin, drinks lots of water, and treat the breakouts with aloe when they pop up. Aloe in you daily routine will help prevent many breakouts, but sometimes it just can%26#039;t be avoided.


If you are grown and experience oily skin, start looking at the products that you are using. The oiliness of your skin is attributed to hormones and genetics, however, most people who experience very oily skin often have the problem from using too many chemical products. Your skin may be oily because it has been stripped of it鈥檚 natural moisture. You want to avoid ANY over the counter acne treatment or products for oily skin. These products are alcohol based and will strip your skins natural oils away. At this point, you body kicks into overdrive. Thinking that your skin is too dry, because the natural oils are gone, your brain tells your body to make more oil. This of course causes your skin to become more oily, and the cycle never ends. The key to getting rid of oily skin is finding balance. Here鈥檚 what to do for oily skin:





1) Do not use over the counter acne product (no alcohol or Benzoil Peroxide)- They will dry your skin causing over-stimulation of the oil glands.








2) Look for products that are natural and contain High concentrations of aloe. It should be in the first 3 to 5 ingredients of any product you buy.





3) Start the following regimen:


*Cleanse with mild cleanser preferably aloe based.


*Tone (The purpose of a toner is to act as the %26quot;rinse cycle%26quot; for your face. Everyone should use toner after washing the face to remove any left over cleansers or dirt. Do not use a toner with alcohol in it. You can buy alcohol free toners or use witch hazel. It%26#039;s the perfect natural toner for most skin types.)


*Nourish - Drink Water, take vitamins%26amp; zinc, and apply topical vitamin C to your skin.


* Moisturize 鈥?There is a difference in Oil and Moisture, your skin needs moisture to be healthy, A good vitamin C cream will help kill bacteria too.


*Exfoliate 鈥?at least 2 times per week- no not let dead skin cells build up on the surface and clog your pores.


*Take a daily suppliment of Zinc,Calcium,and Magnesium.|||I have used the vitamin C peel kit from JAFRA. You use it once a week and it is gentle on your face. The great thing is that all of their products have a money back guaruntee. I have lots of scaring from acne as well and have been using this product and have noticed a noticable chage. The great thing is that it affordable as well.

How do I get rid of blackheads on my face as well as get my pores to look better afterwards?

I%26#039;ve always washed my face a lot and often use a lot of creams and gels that are supposed to combat blackheads but they don%26#039;t really do anything. Lately my nose especially has looked really bad with large pores due to blackheads.


What is the best way to get rid of facial blackheads?


And how do I allow my pores to close and look better/normal afterwards?|||Honestly, I have very sensitive skin and using products no matter if they say they are good for sensitive skin or not, usually make my skin worse than better, wether it be breakouts or dryness etc..


The best thing to do is use very warm water-this will open the pores and use a good sponge to clean the pores thoroughly and tea-trea oil is amazing for any skin problems-but will sting a little if used on broken skin but will not harm at all, it will make any cuts etc heal a lot faster and clean them of any dirt..The use cold water-as cld as you can handle -this will close your pores and pat your face dry-do not rub this will just irritate and cause any dirt from the towel back into your pores-so pat dry gently..It won%26#039;t have an nstant effect but it is the best way if you are finding that products don%26#039;t help. The lack of effort and about a week at the most and you%26#039;ll be a happy munchkin :)


My faveourites for skin problems has to be using Unperfumed cat litter as a face mask-cheap and closes your pores very tight.Use some tea tree afterwards and also poridge oats mixed with water to make a paste-wash with that and stopa dry skin..sounds really odd but it honetly works wonders :)


Hope this was helpful|||Don%26#039;t over wash your face as your pores will then try to over compensate the loss of oil and make even more on your face, thus making the acne worse, only wash your face twice a day morning and at night before you go to bed. Buy a facial steam sauna/mask to help improve skin tone and will make it easier to eliminate blackheads, afterwards use a good face mask (I use one from Avon which is intended to specifically reduce pore size) and make sure you don%26#039;t mix creams/lotions together as this will make them less effective and you could get a nasty irritation. Good luck!|||start having a regular skin care routine.


the best thing to do is to basically give yourself facials.


to do this you will need -


*make up remover


*cleanser


*toner


*facial scrub


*moisturiser


*facial sponges or thick cotton wool


*q-tips (ear buds)


and a fairly large bowl of water.


every morning, apply some cleanser to your face using your fingers and rub your face all over, even your neck.


then wet the sponges/cotton wool and remove cleanser.


then apply the cleanser again and repeat the removal process. the first cleanse will open up your pores and the second one will remove any dirt from them.


then apply some toner to the cotton wool and rub all over your face. this closes your newly cleaned pores and stops anymore dirt getting in.


then apply a moisturiser all over your face. then you can apply your make up.


repeat this every morning and night before bed. at this time, apply some make up remover to a q-tip and gently rub the make up off your eyes. do not scrub hard as this can create wrinkles and thin the skin.


this can be your daily routine.


once a week, cleanse twice, tone, then apply exfoliant to your face. rub all over your face, scrubbing off all the dead skin. then apply toner to remove the srub.


then moisturise and continue as usual. this is your weekly facial.


all of this together with a balanced diet and plenty of protein (as your skin, hair and nails is made of keratin, which is a type of protein) your sking will be glowing in no time!|||i use knoxx, unflavored gelatine. what i do is, dissolve a tsp. of knoxx w/ warm water (small amount). then cut some onion paper into small pcs, about 2 x 2%26quot;. then put onion paper w/ the dissolved knoxx then, place it into your face. leave it till it dries completely.

What is the functional connection between the nucleolus, nuclear pores, and the nuclear membrane?

a. Subunits of ribosomes are assembled in the nucleolus and pass through the nuclear membrane via the nuclear pores.


b. The nuclear pores are connections between the nuclear membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum that permit ribosomes to assemble on the surface of the ER.


c. The nucleolus contains messenger RNA (mRNA), which crosses the nuclear envelope through the nuclear pores. d. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane is produced in the nucleolus and leaves the nucleus through the nuclear pores.


e. None of the above is correct.|||a. Subunits of ribosomes are assembled in the nucleolus and pass through the nuclear membrane via the nuclear pores.

Any ideas on how to get rid of clogged pores on your nose and chin areas?

I have cleared up the rest of my skin with retinae micro. but after 6 months, it isn%26#039;t doing anything to my pores on my nose or chin. any ideas on how to clear them up? i have been using pore strips on my nose. it does ok I guess, but nothing really noticeable.|||There are two things you can try. First, a hot flannel on your face, which will lift all the dirt out of pores, then an antiseptic like witch hazel over the affected areas with a cotton pad. Then, splash with cold water to seal the pores again. Or, alternatively, try an exfoliating scrub. I%26#039;d say exfoliate it yourself with a soft brush, but as the area is on your face, it%26#039;s not a good idea cos the skin%26#039;s so sensitive.

1.Take a clean face cloth. Make sure it is clean! Dirty towels can add to the oil and chemicals that build on your skin, helping the growth of Blackheads.

3.Wash your face with a blackhead cleanser.





4.Rinse your face thoroughly.





5.Use a toner to close your pores.





6.Add moisturizer if you wish.|||i swear by this product call Pure Focus by Lancome it%26#039;s a bit pricey but its really worth it, I noticed a change right away and it leaves your skin smooth. It has this warming thing which I guess it helps!!
