Dirty pores

[Bunbunny]

Those little black dots are probably sebaceous filaments. They're completely natural, and pretty much everyone has them. They're just expressions of sebum and dead skin cells, and aren't related to blackheads at all. They're also not "dirty", they're what naturally happens to your skin as it sheds.

Because they're literally just your skin producing sebum, they're pretty much permanent until you grow much older. To reduce their appearance, try using a gentle chemical exfoliant to get rid of excess dead skin cells. Then use an oil to wash your face (Google "oil cleansing method" to find one that's right for you). The oil will dissolve the sebum in your pores. Wipe the oil off, and then use a clay mask. One that has salicylic acid might help.

Remember to moisturize afterwards! And don't beat yourself up over it, because even celebrities have little black dots all over their noses! It's totally natural. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have lots of blackheads on my nose. I personally just learned to accept it because I don't want to waste more money on products that do nothing. But hey, look on the bright side, they don't look that bad and they aren't that noticeable. It could be worse. It could be actual pimples.

I think Proactive advertised a Green Tea Moisturizer Blackhead product, but I'm not sure. :/
