They're mostly on my nose, and i've tryed the Biore strips already, is there anything more gentle that won't rip my face off?

yeah, its called "Soap and Water" !!! Also try consuming healthier. Try to incorporate fresh veggies, and green leafy foods, and some Vitamin E and Vitamin B-6 or B12.....

Don't use those greasy masks, that people tell ya are so wonderful,,,,, as they are perhaps the worse thing you could do.

First stay away from bar soaps to clean up your face. Most have TALLOW , which is candle wax in them.. Cleanse your face twice a day, morning and before bed. Use an astringent, and a Non-Comengenic moisturizer.. ( that means one that won't clog pores) A wonderful quality facial Scrub, and Mask also is very helpful. You'll want one for your type of skin.. not just anykind..

I too suggest going to a Aestethician at least once, To obtain a facial.. Men do too , especially those in the corporate world who want what everyone sees first , beyond a suit...to look their best.. I know , I use to give those facials..

They can deep clean up and eradicate the oils built up in the pores, which are the blackheads.. Using the wrong items just pushes more..

When a person has large pores this is more common, than someone with smaller pores.. Usually dry skin individuals have smaller pores, and oily skin., larger.. Some individuals have a combination of dry and oily.. It is necessary too with oily skin not to "strip" the skin to dry. this only pushes the skin to compensate and produce more oils..

It doesn't hurt or shouldn't to have a facial, and can be very relaxing..

Or, observe a Dermatologist.. who can advocate products for you to use best for your skin type, and concerns..

Going to the right sources the first time can save aggravation, and wealth in the long term . and , you'll obtain faster results..

You don't have to spend tons of wealth either to get wonderful results.. Read up on items , and ask questions. Know what type skin you have, is your skin sensitive?..I use a scrub and mask every week. feels amazing after.. The skin you care for now is the skin in your 60's you earned..
