There are a zillion blackheads on my nose.
Blackheads form when oil, makeup, and dirt get trapped in large pores.
Although you can't do much to reduce pore size, you can minimize the amount of gunk that gets clogged in them, says Manhattan dermatologist Dennis Gross. First, make sure you use only oil-free products that includes foundations, sunscreens, and moisturizers. Also, after washing your face at night, use a granular scrub that sloughs dirt out of pores. Simply clean face with a warm, wet cotton washcloth. And if you can't resist squeezing which, done too aggressively, can cause visible broken capillaries wrap a tissue around each pointer finger, then apply gentle pressure to both sides of the blackhead immediately after showering while pores are slightly expanded by the humidity.
