squeezing them?
its sick and will probably make your skin red
but atleast there are no more black heads.

Rub sandpaper on your nose.
It actually works

Get a bowl of extremely hot water, and put a towel over your head and steam your face.
Then put on a deep cleansing face mask.
The wash it off and splash your face with cold water.

Known in the trade as comedones, blackheads are actually blocked pores.

Here's some dos and don'ts:

Do buy some benzoyl peroxide from the chemist (ask your pharmacist for the gentlest strength first). Apply daily and it may be all you'll need.

Don't squeeze your blackheads. However tempting, you'll regret it when a red spot develops in its place.

Do eat plenty of fresh fruit and veg, along with nuts and wholegrain cereals - scoff yourself to a glowing complexion.

Don't put moisturisers or foundation on your skin - oily cosmetics can block pores, big time. If desperate, opt for something labelled 'non-comedogenic'.

Do get the sun on you - but wisely. Avoid the middle of the day, splash on the Factor 15 and never ever burn.

Don't struggle on alone. If all else fails and you're getting spots too: see your GP for some more advice.

Above all, try not to let it get you down. No one passes through life without a blackhead. They're as normal as rain on Thursdays.

there's these sticky things that you can use, you have to wet your nose and then put it on like a sticker, and mold it to your nose, let it dry and then peel it off.
iv tried them before and they work
