A little help...

[MissLovely]

Hey there everybody!

I'm have smooth acne-free skin and all but previously I had blackheads around my nose, now that they are gone (so thankful) I feel like my pores got bigger there. Any ideas of what I could do? I think this rarely happens to people because I've never heard of this happen before.

Thanks

Miss Lovely

oh my god. please tell me how you got rid of the black heads! i must know your secret!

lol, if you insist, i steamed my face then i massaged it with olive oil (almond oil works just as well), its a little painful but put a q-tip in hot water then press it against the pimple. sometimes it takes persistence for it to come off, but exfoliate your face afterwards and use a toner to keep your face clean.

the best thing i could tell u is prevent them before you try to remove them.

Could you give me names of products that contain this acid that I could get from a drugstore or local market? Thanks alot!

Some products that I have used which contain Glycolic acid are Neostrata, Reversa and MD Formulations(order online and Ebay). I like them all. La Roche de Posay has some great products as well and can be found in some Shopper's Drug Marts and through your dermatologist. HTH

Alpha Hydrox, in the red box, about $10, it is the BEST!

Alpha hydrox is good. You can also look at the platinum skincare site. It has higher % of all kinds of acids and has samples for very reasonable prices.
