I had a big black head right in the middle of my nose. I've just got it out really easily, but now i have an big open pore. What should i do to prevent dirt from getting in there and clogged again (so it doesn't get bigger). Should i avoid moisturizing, and products there general? Anything i can do to shrink pores?Open pores and blackheads?
its good to exfoliate once in a while so i suggest you take 2 advril pills (generic, uncoated). Dont eat them! take them and dissolve in a few drops of water in the palm of your hand. then rub them gently over your entire face for a few minutes. The active ingredients open up the pores and gets rid of dead skin cells--leaving you with smooth skin. try it out and comment. hope that helpsOpen pores and blackheads?
I heard you fill a bowl up with cool water and put your face in to close your pores. Also if you want to open them you put a wet hot washcloth over your face for a couple minutes. Then wait a couple minutes to put you face in the cool water. This process opens pores to clean them and then closes them.
Wash your face with whatever you use to wash your face daily. If you have anything to put on it that prevents acne, put that on it. I've heard that toothpaste works well, and it actually works on me. Just plain white toothpaste. Just put a little on.
I would avoid putting any cosmetics on it, yes. That includes lotions, makeup, and all the works. There's really nothing you can do to get rid of it faster. It will have to go away on its own. Just don't irritate it.

How do we get rid of our pores?
i have black head all over my nose.. i would really want 2 get the off.. tried almost anything (btw, those strips dosen't work)
How do we get rid of our pores?
It really would be best to go see your doctor - don't waste your time with over the counter stuff as getting something on prescription will be much more effective.
Your doctor can offer a number of treatments. Antibiotics or topical treatments like benzyl peroxide will kill the P.acnes bacteria on your skin (but if you only have blackheads and not red spots then P.acnes is probably not the problem for you). Retinoids are available which affect cell turnover and will therefore help to stop your pores getting blocked. I use a topical Retin A gel (also called tretinoin) which I'd definitely recommend - this is the only treatment I have tried that actually got rid of my blackheads. It is possible to use more than one treatment which may help you to get a better result. Just remember that with anything you try you need to allow at least a month to see significant results - if what you've tried hasn't worked then go back to your doctor and ask for something else - everyone is different but there will be a treatment that works for you.
I've also heard of people using mandelic acid as a blackhead treatment - I know very little about it but it may be worth looking into.
Don't overdo cleaning your face - use something that is mild and for sensitive skin - as drying out your skin by using harsh cleansers (or even by using very hot then very cold water) will only stimulate the glands in your skin to produce more oil - and its oil and dead skin cells that block the pores and form a blackhead.
Also, try to resist touching your skin.
Best of luck :)How do we get rid of our pores?
Fill your bathroom with steam, running hot water. Then exfoliate your face with warm water. The heat opens your pores so the bacteria inside can be cleaned away. Then wash your face in cold water. This shrinks your pores.
Then, tone with whichever toner you use. If you don't use one, start. Just ask the people at the drugstore.
Only exfoliate once a week, but tone after every time you wash.
I would try any over the counter cream or face wash with salicylic acid in it. The medicine exfoliates your skin and helps take off dead skin cells to open your pores so the junk that makes up blackheads will come out.
Wash your face using hot water and add some tea tree around your nose. I dont think they will 100% go, but it will look much clearer!

wash your face! lol!
nah try toothpaste it works for spots - might work for pores?

Wouldn't that be bad for your pores?
Applying ice to your face, wouldn't that be murder for your pores? I mean they say hot water is good for your pores so wouldn't freezing ice be bad for your pores? If you don't know, briefly tell me what you think and get yourself 2 points.Wouldn't that be bad for your pores?
Cold water is bad for your skin because it irratates the pores and adds to the build up of oil, whitch is what causes acne and such! Hot water opens the pores and washs away oil.
Hope I Helped(:Wouldn't that be bad for your pores?
well this is what i do
(since hot water opens your pores)
1. i turn the water temp. as hot as i can stand it and i than clean my face.
2. i rinse.
(cold water closes your pores)
3. i turn the water as cold as it can go than rinse.
(also, cold water is good for your hair , when your done conditioning , rinse with cold water , it makes it more shiny. )
As an aesthetic student, I know all about pores.
The only thing it may do is trap unwanted oil or debris within your pores. This may cause you to get blemishes or whatnot. If your face is clean and well cleansed (and you are not wearing make up) it would not do anything to your pores except close them. However your face may get chilly!
i believe hot water opens your pores and cold shuts them
could be the other way around lol but its something like that

Clogged pores and blackheads?
what will clear it...does the neutrogena wave work?Clogged pores and blackheads?
neutrogena wave does clear blackheads, but it can also make your skin super dry! i tried it 2 weeks ago, and i havent touched it since. I'd suggest using St. Ives apricot scrub %26amp; warm water!!Clogged pores and blackheads?
First of all buy Tone soap. The other brands dry out your skin which causes it to produce more oil which in turn causes acne.
When you get into the show wash yourself from the head down. Always start face first, if you wash your arms and then your face your putting all the dirt and oil from your arms onto your face.
At night apply Sea Breeze to your face using a cotton ball to remove all excess oil from your face. Don't over wash or you will dry out your skin. So clean it once in the morning and once before bed.
Your complexion should clear up in about a week or so.
Depending on where they are on your face, Biore pore strips work really well. Neutrogena is also good to use.
Your best bet is to try and develop a good personality. ;)
Have you tried Proactive? Clean and Clear seems to have some good products as well.
no the wave suckksss! it doesnt even foam up.
just dont touch it
wash it with warm soap water

Will using powder before shaving clog my pores (or my shaver)?
If I want to use baby or talcum powder to make electric shaving easier and to get a closer shave, will either of these clog my pores and cause breakouts?
Also, how do I know that powders will work with my shaver without destroying it? I use a Braun Contour 5790.Will using powder before shaving clog my pores (or my shaver)?
Powder is never to be used with electric shavers because it will lump in the blades and moving parts. It's best to wash your face with soap and warm water to remove all oil from your skin, dry it, and then shave. You will get a close shave that way.

Any suggestions on how to clean pores?
my face is getting gross from the makeupAny suggestions on how to clean pores?
Steam your face. Pour a bowl of hot water put your head over it and cover with a towel. Stay there for as long as is comfortable unless you have sensitive skin in which case don't do it for longer than 3-5mins. This will open your pores. Do a mask or clean your face then rinse with cold water to close your pores. Make sure you remove your makeup every night. One way of doing that is to use a cleanser the hold a flannel which has been soaked in comfortabley hot water over your face for a few minutes. Wash with a face wash and rinse in cold water.Any suggestions on how to clean pores?
-facial steam bath
-mud mask or any clay mask
-exfoilate, scrubs
-and cleanse twice a day
-take a break from the make up
-use a pore ';closing'; toner
