Hey everyone, newbie here. I've been having good and bad news on my skin. The good news is that my skin has significantly cleared up in the past month. (Yay!) The main problem is I have clusters of hundreds of these blackhead all over my face. They're very small, but have some height. "Tight" is the best way I can describe them because they're just stuffed and stuck in my pores. In certain lighting, my face looks absolutely horrible. They don't seem to do away with my normal regimen which consists of makeup removing, washing, steaming my face every other day, toning, a couple layers of aloe Vera, moisturizer, and dabbing on a mix of bp and aloe Vera onto my face. I just find it shocking that the bigger bumps on my face we're the first to go rather than the tiny ones. :-/ The only way I found I can extract them is by using my finger tips to force them out. My skin does not scar from this, but it often leaves these ugly hyper pigmentation that take forever to go away. :-( I'd really appreciate some help on how to deal with these stubborn blackheads, like "loosening" them, or perhaps draining the stuff inside somehow. I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

You can try a mask of bentonite clay and apple cider vinegar ( be sure to dilute the vinegar with some water...full strength is a bit much). This works wonders for me!

Thanks! I've heard of the apple cider vinegar method but haven't tried it yet. I'll be sure to give it a shot! Thanks! :)
