black heads on nose - Skin Problems Message Board

I have large pores on my nose and they get big and black and ugly in the summer. I just can't seem to get rid of them or close them up or whatever, no matter how much I scrub and cleanse. I'm wondering if there is a home remedy to help? Or a wonder product I don't know about? I'd love to hear from someone!

Thanks!

Try using the Biore stips once a week or so to remove blackheads. Use a good cleanser, like Purpose or Neutrogena. Then, once or twice a week gently scrub your face with an apricot scrub-- St. Ives has a good one. Another thing that can make pores appear smaller is to do a mud mask once a week.

lol, I <I>do</I> do those things. It still doesn't help. It looks pretty good after I cleanse in the morning and at night, but in the middle of the day and right before I wash, it's pretty bad. I'm hoping there was another way to clear them up. My skin is pretty oily so I'm stumped as to what to do.

Ok... Keep doing those things, and in addition, pick up some Clean & Clear blotting papers. They'll fit in your pocket. A couple times a day, blot your face with them and it sucks up all the oil. They're great.
