Cleanse the face thoroughly with a good cleanser meant for oily skin. Preferrably use a salicylic acid cleanser.

Apply an astringent like witch hazel. It helps reduce oiliness. If its a bit harsh mix a bit of rose water in it.

Apply a good quality medicated cream or gel containing resorcinol, salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. This helps is soaking the oil and helps in peeling away the blackheads. You can get creams or gels of Benzoyl Peroxide treating blackheads If benzoyl peroxide leaves your skin dry, apply an oil-free moisturizer after 10 mins of applying benzoyl peroxide.

Effective Tips to get rid of blackheads

?Exfoliate the blackhead prone area 3-4 times a week using facial exfoliators and scrubs.

?Use creams containing AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Fruit acids) like glyco-creams that will clear away any dead skin cells and "expose" the blackhead. Use the AHA's every 3 days or so.

?Avoid washing the face with soaps more than twice a day. Instead wash your face often with plain water splashes.

?Often use a mask with a clay base.

If blackheads look ready to pop out, you could try removing them gently by using a blackhead extractor. Also, Pore cleanser strips (blackhead extractor) for removal of blackheads are highly recommended for the treatment/removal of blackheads. Using them once per week will leave your pores cleaner and smaller.

Steam your face to soften both the skin and the material blocking the pores.

pop those friggen things!!! kk it's been a month so they're ready to pop theyre probably huge by now so take a hot shower then get a mirror put two finernails one on each side of the blackhead and pop them dont push too hard cuz it'l make your nose red and it can also make it bleed and put ugly scars.

dont pop them they make it worse nad redish on ur face you need to get these special pads you put under ur nos or on ur nose na dthen let it sit for a minute and take them off. They take those things righjt off

how the heck do you pop black heads? I have no clue since they're not pimples...
anyways...too remove black heads, mix baking soda with warm water and rub it on your nose! yay!

and I think the toothpaste thing works only with acne...
my cousin tried it and had a bizarre allergic reaction. Her whole chin was swollen!

Try benzoyl peroxide

Also try to exfoliate to eliminate dead skin cells and then take a washcloth run it with lots of warm water, then put it in your nose to open up the pores. After opening your pores you can use tape or maybe biore blackhead pore strip (it kind of hurts with biore and it cost around $7).
