Google "sebaceous filaments" and you'll see those things that look like blackheads actually aren't. They're usually on the t-zone.

One thing I have found to work great for them is cold cream believe it or not.

What I do is;

Apply a generous amount of cold cream to the affected area and massage for a minute.

Let it set for 10 mins or use a hair dryer on the lowest heat setting for about a minute.

Rinse it off with warm water and lightly scrub with a wash cloth or soft facial brush. Make sure you wash the cold cream off very well because it contains mineral oil. Mineral oil does not clog pores but creates a film over the pore trapping in oil, dead skin and bacteria.

Now, dry your face and apply a good drawing clay mask. You want a mask that cracks when dry. Aztec Indian healing clay is a good one and the mint julep mask will work as well.

After all this your pores should look very clean without having to pick and squeeze everything out of them.
