Blackheads: Who needs them?
February 26th 2008 02:14
When it comes to blackheads, there’s no need for deep clean, fast-action, expensive solutions – just add an extra step to your beauty regime once or twice a week. Like most girls / women, I saw one or two blackheads when I was about 17, did something to get rid of them and found 6 months later that the problem was only getting worse. There’s no point emphasising on the adage ‘prevention is better then cure’, cause let’s face it; even if it’s just one or two, we want them gone - pronto. I have two products that do just that.
Firstly, my favourite tried-and-tested blackhead remover is Biore nose strips. This Japanese-made product is absolutely amazing. It comes in normal and ‘ultra’, but like I have mentioned before, stick with the basic then move up a level (after about a year). As gross as this sounds, as soon as I used it for the first time and saw the blackheads come off on the strip, I was hooked. It’s easy enough to use too – just wet your (clean) nose, apply the strip (pressing and smoothing down), leave for 15 minutes and peel off. It may hurt a bit pulling off, but this is normal – it’s just those tough little suckers coming out! Just one word of caution though; I used this product weekly for about 6 months before it stopped having a significant effect on my blackheads. I suggest using it sparingly (like every 3 or 4 weeks) in conjunction with the below product.
Another great Aussie-made product is the Blackhead Cleanser from teen brand Clean & Clear (please don’t judge until you’ve tried it). It awesome cause you can use it daily and it has this new guarantee that you will see less blackheads in just 2 days (and you do!). It’s great that the product actually does what it says it does. My recommendation though is to use it on two consecutive days once a week. Any more then that is not only unnecessary but probably worse for the long-term. xoxo
