get a egg and get the clear liquidy stuff, not the yoke, and get a fork and put it all over your face. it will make your face feel weird like you put mud on it.Is there a treatment you can do at home for blackheads?
this isn't really at home, but pore strips for blackheads work really well
You should go to the dermatologist because they would know the right thing to get for you. I had problems with my face, and using the medicine and it worked.
SEROUSLY!! get lemon juice and put it on yur face with a rag!dries them up really quick!an they come out easy!
Have you tried the borle' Strips sold in drug stores and departments stores. They cleared mine. I used them for a month and I don't have any blackheads now and that was over a year ago.

I need LASER treatment on my blackheads/scars left over from acne. ASAP my face is COVERED with it. HELPP!?

Please, i have REALLY bad acne but that i can deal with... what i CANT stand is the scars it left!!


But sad thing is, i used to pick the scabs EVERY DAY until they turnt to scars!!! AND I RELLLLLYYYY REGRET IT NOW.


I wanna know where i can go for a relatively cheap treatment.. it does not neccesarily have to be laser... but ANYTHING that will help rid of these horrible marks on my face.


I am willing to EVEN go abroad.. i just need some help pleaseeee anyone!!!


Oh.. and if it helps.... Im a light-skinned, 17 year old black girl (and i DONT want to bleach my face for it to turn WHITE or YELLOW)I need LASER treatment on my blackheads/scars left over from acne. ASAP my face is COVERED with it. HELPP!?
Photo pulse and dermabrasion works really great. It is kind of expensive, though, and insurance doesn't cover it. It hurts a little bit, but it really isn't bad. I had some brown spots on my face from when I was pregnant, and they really went away quickly with this treatment.


With just scars, you could probably skip the photo pulse and just go for the dermabrasion. It really hardly hurts at all.


Good luck.I need LASER treatment on my blackheads/scars left over from acne. ASAP my face is COVERED with it. HELPP!?
Last week on 'Embarrassing Illnesses' there was a black women suffering from hyper-pigmentation and excess facial hair. The doctors suggested laser treatment and within weeks there was a vast improvement in the quality of her skin.

Good luck.
Having Laser treatments will cause the skin to form scabs. You must stop picking on them,you will scar your face,and cause infections. You need to go or call your Dermatologist in the morning,and do what he recommends. Stop stressing out and stop picking your face. Take care. SW RNP
its ok have you ever heard of pro active and if so have you ever tried it well its not to terribly expensive and it works like magic so thats the top choice of what i recommend for you and the second is very inexpensive its clearasil vanashing tint cream i use the tinted one its a little dark looks like a foundation and also they have a white cream one in my opinion i think the tinted works better but these are some very helpful things also you could try mederma for scars i hope i have helped you and that theese products work for you the way they have for me good luck
Try using Bio oil. I have had stretchmarks for the past 13 years and tried quite a few things and nothing has evened the skin tonage out. I tried Bio oil and never looked back. I have thin skin which shows all kinds of blothes, but Bio oil seems to reduce this. It wont get ride of the stretchmarks, but it had reduced the redness and with your problem and the fact that it is more recent you will probably get a better result for reducing the scarring





Good Luck


Hope this helps
Don't bleach! Concentrate on raising your self-esteem. When you look in the mirror, look into your eyes. They say they are the 'windows to your sole'.





P.s. My son is 19. He was born with a deformity of the skull. Do you want to know who his friends are? EVERYONE!! I have asked some of his peers why they like him so,they tell me he is the most positive person they know! He also has a very large number of female friends who can't get enough of him. Try it,you will be so happy you did!
If the scars are dark (hyperpigmentation) then a product that I would recommend is AFA Clay peels and the product line. It will get rid of the blemishes, reduce the discolouration and even out your skin texture. It will never be flawless but it will be a huge improvement. You have to be very careful when dealing with lasers and dark skin. Even if you are fair black girl you still are prone to get hyperpigmentation (darkening) from any laser treatment which is what you are trying to avoid. I have seen horrible results of laser or too agressive of chemical peels used on ethnic skin.





The AFA program is used by medical professionals only and you can check out the website xlafa.com (i believe if not google it) AFA Clay peels are great for the skin. It will take some time for it to work but it works.

What are some good treatments for stretch marks and blackheads?

I have stretch marks on my thighs.. not from pregnancy.





I also have many blackheads.





What are some good treatments for these?What are some good treatments for stretch marks and blackheads?
Stretchmarks:





Ive dona ALOT of research and pure products are the best!! lotions at the stores are only dilluted and full of ingredients that arent good for skin Whenever you buy a product make sure to look at the ingredients first example, if you want cocoa butter the only ingredient should be cocoa butter not water,mineral oil, cetyl alcohol etc....I have 2 great recipes for you and they are working great for me!! I didnt use anything (besides regular lotion) with my first 3 Big Mistake!! This time i did the research and my skin even at 9 months pregnant is glowing and smooth





My homemade recipes


1 cup olive oil


1 cup coconut oil


2 oz vitamin e oil (10-12 capsules)


6 vitamin a capsules


Heat on low to melt coconut oil and blend ingredients store in fridge (for lotion bar as it will harden) or in cupboard for your basic oil





6-8oz cocoa butter(this one is my fave)


6 oz almond oil


4 oz coconut oil


2 oz vitamin e oil


6 vitamin a capsules


Heat on low to melt coconut oil and cocoa butter blend ingredients store in fridge (for lotion bar as it will harden) or in cupboard for your basic oil





First i exfoliate (great for removing dead skin cells and rejuvinating skin) basically it wakes up your skin and prepares it to absorb moisture at its best Get a loofah and your bodywash of choice prefferably with exfoliating beads scrub in circular motions for a good 1-3 minutes than apply oil within 3 minutes of getting out of the shower its recommended to massage into skin so i spend about 3 minutes massaging into my skin





My old stretch marks from 5 years back are even improving!!


Ive only been doing this for 2 months now and my skin is smoother the redness is fading more everyday its said that it takes a good 6 months to heal but its definetly worth it and remember they are always going to be there but you can dramatically fade and heal them if you do this daily





Here are some more recipes not my own but recommended





1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil


- 1/2 Cup Aloe Vera Gel


- 10 Vitamin E Capsules, Drained


- 5 Vitamin A Capsules, Drained


Place in fridgerator and use twice or more a day. Rub into skin untill fully absorbed





4 teaspoons nescafe coffee, or brand you prefer


1 cup coconut oil


Brew coffee as you normally do.


Add the brewed coffee to the coconut oil.


Bring to a boil.


Remove from heat.


Allow to cool.


Rub this every night before going to sleep over your stretch marks.


This when done regularly will lighten the stretch marks and make them less visible.





Almond oil,jojoba oil,apricot-kernel oil,avocado oil,sweet almond oil,coconut oil,olive oil,emu oil,grapeseed oil,lavender oil,castor oil,lanoline oil





Vitamins A, C, E, and K Cocoa butter,shea butter





All of these are great for skin cocoa butter coconut oil shea butter almond oil olive oil and emu oil are the top oils i read about that were mostly recommended create your own mixture using these ingredients or use seperately I got my oils from vitaminlife.com best price for the most quantity that i could find anywhere its even cheaper to pay shippin and handling than buy from your local healthfood store well ill stop babbling email me for more questions if youd like keep in touch with your results too!! Good luck





Blackheads:


Try using ST IVES APRICOT SCRUB for blackheads/blemishes this is a great deep cleaning exfoliator that gets down under the skin it will definetley help prevent future breakouts great for pores and blackheads ive had major problems with acne for almost 7 years and i have tried everything (no exaggeration) and st ives has by far worked the best for me and its only $3 cant beat that my skin has never behaved so well!!! lol Rinse with cold water that closes pores and minimizes appearance





For a toner/astringent try lemon juice with a cotton ball once daily great for acne acne scars oily skin and pores





Also try biore pore strips they work great to get all that stuff out of pores





Blackhead Mask

Prepare a paste of fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves and apply it over the face every night for 10-15 minutes and washed with warm water. This is an effective home remedy for blackheads and will prevent acne, pimples, blackheads, and wrinkles.





A solution made of one and a half cups of hot water and half a tablespoon of boric powder is a very good home remedy for blackheads.





Extract juice of one lemon and mix with equal quantity of rose water. Apply this mixture on the face and keep it for about half an hour. Wash the face with fresh water. About 15 days application helps cure acne, pimples and reduces blemishes and scars.





Apply undiluted lemon juice, two to three times a day, on the affected areas.





Nettle Tea is another remedy, this tea has a herb that has some curing power and really helps work wonders on skin problems.





Warm a little honey and apply on the blackhead areas. Wash off after 10-15 minutes.





Prepare a mixture of 1 or 2mls each of the following: witch hazel, tea-tree and sweet fennel essential oils, adding essential oil of geranium for women and essential oil of rosewood for men. Mix with 300mls of water. Shake before use, as the oils will float on top of the water during storage.

Sunshine or ultra-violet light helps in skin peeling, and so helps to clear blocked pores. So sunbathing or use of sun-beds in can be helpful.





Mix an egg white with aloe Vera gel and a few drops of lavender essential oil. Egg whites cause the pores to tighten and the aloe Vera has a soothing and anti-biotic effect on the skin. The lavender is very healing for the skin.





For blackheads treatment rub ice cubes on the face for 10-15 minutes. It will tighten the pores.





Apply cucumber juice on the face. Wash it off after 15 minutes. It will tighten the poresWhat are some good treatments for stretch marks and blackheads?
Biotherm. It reduces %26amp; prevents them. It depends on how old the stretch marks are though. I'm pretty sure that it has to be no older than 9 years for the cream to work. If you decide to buy this product, just double check with the person who's selling it. It costs about $50 but it takes about 3 months before you start to see results. You can buy it at a pharmacy, Sears, or beauty store. For black heads try buying a specific cream for blackheads. The one I use is Clean %26amp; Clear. It will clean out probably all of your black heads the 1st time you try it. You can't use it everyday though, just twice a week b/c you're skin needs it's natural oils. Also I use Dove or Olay face wipes. They work too. Vitamin E as a finishing touch will keep your face healthy!
Cover yourself in tattoos--that will cover up all that and more ; )
Massaging on the stretch marks serves as an excellent home remedy for stretch marks removal. You can either use olive oil, flaxseed oil, vitamin E oil or cod liver oil for the purpose of massage.

Can I use acne treatments to fight my blackheads/whiteheads and pimples?

I was thinking buying the Clean and Clear Acne control kit, and see if it helps with my blackheads/whiteheads and pimples. I used a lot of products, but none seemed to work.Can I use acne treatments to fight my blackheads/whiteheads and pimples?
it will not work if you really mixed that kind of product.acne treatments is for your acne only.but for your blackheads and whiteheads.use a scrub 2x a week to remove and after that put some mask.choose like a clay mask to absorb the oil in your face.if you have time try to steam first your skin so it will become softer so when you do the scrub it soften and your pores more often.Can I use acne treatments to fight my blackheads/whiteheads and pimples?
Hello,





You need to hear my story, as it was like your current situation.


When I was 12 I started getting a few zits and so bought clearisil. Didn't work. Bought Clean and Clear. Didn't Work. Bought Proactive. Not only didn't work, but it made my acne worse when I got on it and when I got off a month after starting it. (15 at that time)





I went to the dermatologist right after proactive messed up my face, and I qualified for accutane because of my history of products not working. Accutane is an oral drug that is in pill form that most people take once a day. The first month, it made me break out and become very dry. Second moth: Broke out even worse and dried out skin, eyes, lips, hair, nails, and throat. I began putting on Olay Moisturizer (derm. said its the best), eye drops a few times a day, put Vaseline on lips and inside nose at night and morning, and drank tons of water.


During the third month, my acne stayed the same for about two weeks, and then The zits began going away very quickly!


In the fourth month, my face continued to clear up dramatically, and in the fifth month, all of my acne was completely gone!





The way it works is by giving you a high dosage a vitamin a which ';cures'; acne. It dries out your skin very badly ridding pimples, white heads, black heads, and cysts (I had all of them!). After you are finished, most people never have acne again. The ones that do don't have nearly as bad acne and can go back on it. I love my skin now and haven't had a zit since!





Beware though, and make sure your decision is the right one. It can cause depression which I still have mild signs of even a few moths after being off of it. The dry skin really stinks and can cause birth defects (you cant be on accutane if you are pregnant). It can also damage your liver if you are a drinker. You need blood test every month as well as pregnancy tests and two forms of birth control every month (I didn't need those as I am a guy).





Remember that I had about 20 zits before accutane and it got rid of all of them! I have mild scarring which may go away. I am VERY glad that I went on this and wont have to deal with acne again!





Research it more if you are considering going on it.





GO TO THE DERMATOLOGIST NO MATTER WHAT!!! THEY SPECIALIZE IN SKIN AND WILL NOT SCREW YOU OVER LIKE OVER-THE-COUNTER PRODUCTS!!!
The best way to use any product with benzoyl peroxide is as a spot treatment. Use a gentle cleanser (Clearasil Stayclear Daily Face Wash, Cetaphil, Purpose, etc...), use a toner or astringent, put on the spot treatment, and once it dries, moisturize your skin. Use a scrub for blackheads twice a week. Don't use the Clean %26amp; Clear blackhead scrub... it smells awful and doesn't work. The Clearasil smells pretty gross, but it works well

Thanks to this blog, it helped me a lot to find the best method.


Hope this helps
Don't waste your money. Just use GILLET gel shaving cream. Apply it all over your face and lather. Keep it there for 30 minutes and wipe off with a dry towel. Then wash with warm water before going to bed


IT WORKS!!!

You can try applying grated cucumber over the acne or pimples for fifteen to twenty minutes and then washing with warm water. Its regular use prevents pimples and blackheads. More such solutions at http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/Any homemade treatments for blackheads and acne?
Toothpaste does help to reduce the redness and swelling of some types of acne. I would suggest using either a blackhead extractor or some biore strips to remove blackheads.
I heard peppermint toothpaste does the trick. I don't know if it actually does the job, though.

    first thing is make sure you wash good. If its still a problem they make facial cleansers for that.
    Pore strips.
    use acne aid soap that will treat it very well.
    I use Biore pore perfect strips. They work great. They also sell many, many cleansers that target blackheads. You shouldn't try to squeeze or pop them because it can leave scars.
    pore strips
    i use this combination of glycolic acid and tretinoin cream prescribed by my doctor.





    it expedites the shedding of skin so not only have my blackheads lessened, even my pimple scars have started fading :)





    i've been using it for almost 2 months now and am very happy with the results. but if you need a quick fix, pore strips are best.
    Hey, I used to have blackheads, until I started using ProActive. I'm sure you've probably seen the ads, and they sound too good to be true, thats what I thought until my friend gave me a box and told me to use it for 9 weeks, in the morning, and before I go to bed. Within 3 weeks I started seeing improvement. Go to, www.proactive.com to buy a box they also have a trial offer for 30 days, and if your not satisfied you can return it and get a refund of all your money, whats to lose! Only 39.99 to get rid of all your blackheads, you won't be disappointed! Oh, and just so you know I do not work, advertise, etc. for ProActive, just a happy customer trying to spread the joy!
    Apply fresh mint juice or fenugreek juice on your face daily, it will help to reduce pimples, black heads , white haeds and make your skin clear.
