honking painful zits, blackhead removal

[kissmycombatboots]

ever get those giant, under the skin, just won't be popped for the life of you zits? next time you're plagued with one, grab a little neosporin [or any other antibiotic petroleum jelly based product] and cover the zit with it. then slap on a bandaid and hit the sack. the antibiotic will penetrate the skin and remove some of the infection. the petroleum jelly base will keep the skin smooth and soft, so your cover up will go on easier.
if you do this for a few nights in a row, you'll see a vast improvement.

if you get blackheads that are hard to scrub off, take the rounded end of a safety pin to them. [you know, the spring-like end, not the clasp or point] center the blackhead in the circle of metal and press down. this puts pressure around the entire blackhead, and forces the dirt and oil out not down. you'll be amazed how much gunk comes out, and how clean the pore stays. follow up with a good antibacterial soap or face wash to prevent any new infection from setting in.

I love the safety pin tip. Somebody needs to write a book called "1000 things you never realised you could do with safety pins."

tweezerman actually makes this lil tool thing with a smaller loop on one end and a bigger one on the other for black head removal! my mom finds really wierd things at linens and things

[The_Grrl]

lol. Yea, I've always known of the safety pin thing, it helps alot, cos you don't have to kill your face. Thankies for the tip of neosporin and a bandaid. I don't wear powder or anything like that, but I'm sure it also helps for the pain!

i hate those zombie zits from hell, i'm totally going to try the neosporin thing tonight. mega thanks.

[twitness]

i used polysporin because i couldnt find neosporin and i thought they would be alot alike since they both end in 'sporin'...anyways, i tried it and it totally works. It's taken a couple nights but its waaay easier to cover up those suckers. great tip. thanks!

[lins!!!]

preparation h works too.

it's just the going out and buying it that feels weird.

[Tamagothi]

Yeah, so I'll be asking my mom to get some neosporin soon, hahaha.
With those kinda zits, I TRY to pop them, but I end up like, making the skin around bleed from my nails ouchies

i'm addicted to the safety pin thing. it really works on the side of my nose! it's gross to look at it though. also, it's hard to clean it out.

good ideas
