A good exfoliating cleanser . Be gentle .

Another way is before you attack your blackheads, open up your pores by steaming your face, than use a blackhead remover or a clean tissue.

What emu said..

Apparently you shouldnt use those blackhead strips that you rip off your nose cos they give you more blackheads.. well, that's something I heard.. not like they're comfortable to use anyway.. my nose gets hella itchy afterwards..

the best time to remove blackheads is probably after a hot shower, which opens up the pores, which makes removing the blackheads much easier.

squese them out?
thats probably the worst thing you could do lol

pretty muchwhat everyone else has said - steam is excellent and then maybe using a cleanser straight after that is designed to get rid of blackheads - i think clean and clear have one.
u can try those strips - i found they work for me , just dont use them too often

and a natural remedy i found helped heaps in pore reduction is aloe vera. put it on at night and u wont see ur pores by morning , its awesome

really? why.....
well, they r kinda like pimples

one, if you have dirty hands, ur just spreading bacteria onto your face, possibly making your pimples/blackheads worse

two, when you sqeeze its unlikely you will get all of the stuff out - hence some is left there and can grow making it look worse

and three, when you squeeze, apparantly, although some stuff may come out you are actually pushing the gunk further down into the skin creating a deeper wound and a longer and probably worse looking pimple
also you'll just be all red after it - not a good look:)

Hmm I don't really get pimples, but I'm pretty good at getting stuff out of pores in my nose, and it seems to work. Maybe I'm thinking more whiteheads..

Another thing is, wash your face. Don't give oil and stuff that much of a chance to get in pores, and close your pores with cold water or toner after washing. Two cents. :)

my mum use to be a beauty therapist, and she has this machine which blows steam on your face when shes applying some sort of mask
either use a machine or just have a hot shower
