i am a zit freak, i see peoples faces with black heads and i want to ask them if i can pop them, i dont know why, but i have never had a personal prblem with acne, but black heads are clogged pores, u need to wash face with soapy warm water, massage with suds, for about a couple to a few minutes to loosen the dirt n stuff in the pores, and since a small facial zit vaccuum hasnt been invented, then u will need to sit, take ur time and pop them out youjrself, but be careful, not using ur finger nail, but with the tips of ur fingers...then make sure u wash ur face every chance u get, never wear makeup to bed, if u sweat, make sure u wash immediately after uve finished ur task that has made u sweat, ur black heads are of sweat n dirt...use a gentle soap, any kind that is gentle for a babys butt, then itll be gentle enough for ur face...happy cleansing, n black head/zit popping! the itching is prbably a reaction to all the things ur buying n putting on youjr face, i myself have a very dry t zone, the area of my forehead and nose, and i use CARMEX, u know, the stuff for ur lips? well, i use that, and the tingling sensation feels wonderful on my itchy forehead, believe me, it works..Ugh so many pimples and blackheads...help me!!?
Hi!
I actually found a facial oil that dissolves black heads within 4-8 weeks I put all the info on my blog as it's quite detailed:
http://beautymoi.blogspot.com/
Black heads are basically a hardened oil mixture that was secreted from your pores and oxidized (which makes the outside part black) and since water and oil don't mix, no water based product can ';clean'; your blackheads away, just try say putting certain foundations or makeups on the mirror and if you wipe it with water it smudges all over but put a little baby oil and wipe and tada! it comes off super clean AND dissolves it. So this is basically how this oil works. It's composition is such that the skin accepts it as a healing oil and it does not clog your skin but rather protects it while the plant extracts inside go down into the pores (this absorption is made possible by applying the toner to the skin before applying the oil and then applying the dabs of oil over your moistened face), it then penetrates into the pores.
I put where to the name of the oil and prices in stores versus on eBay as well as how to apply it on my blog:

Take care and good luck!

The worst thing you can do is do too much because you stimulate and irritate the problem. Try a product with 10% benzoyl peroxide. A great one is Benzac AC. This used to be in prescription only but they raised the over the counter percentage on benzoyl peroxide. Ask your pharmacist at your local drug store. Apply in small amounts because over doing anything doesn't work.
I personally don't like putting all those chemicals on my face. A certain amount of them will seep into your body.
I prefer lush cosmetics, they are all natural and organic and they are the only thing that has worked for me!!!!
www.lush.com they have a UK site
I love coalface, herbalism and tea tree spray.
no more zits for me.
PIMPLES
Pimples is a unique skin disorder.Pimples are lesions that occur when the skin鈥檚 pores are obstructed or infected.They can form for a variety of reasons.However,the mechanism involved in causing some pores to collapse and block drainage of natural oils is not really understood. Pimples may also crop up for genetic reasons. It is not clear how it can be inherited from one鈥檚 parents, but studies do indicate a high occurrence of pimples in children whose parents had it,too.
The pimples associated with adolescence almost certainly occur because of hormonal changes that take place during puberty. Both males and females get an overdose of the male hormone testosterone during this period,causing excessive generation of sebaceous fluids that invariably cause pimples.
GIVEN BELOW ARE A FEW SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES TO FIGHT PIMPLES.
1.The most basic form of pimple prevention is hygiene and preventive skin care. Regular washing of the affected areas with mild soap is a must.The soap need not necessarily contain any chemicals designed to prevent pimples .However, face washing should not be overdone or the skin will become dehydrated .
2.Care should be taken on makeup,moisturizers and other skin care products.If these products are oil based,it would just make the problem worse. Use water based products instead.
3.Generally we rub, press or squeeze our pimples.Don鈥檛 when we do this,we risk spreading the bacteria to other areas.
4.Lemon juice diluted in water can be applied externally because of its antiseptic
quality.
5.Tea Tree oil can also be applied directly to infected pores.
6.Vitamin A tablets are also a natural and effective cure. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin.
7.Before bathing, apply a mixture of fresh tomato pulp, honey and rose-water to your face and keep for twenty minutes before washing off.
8.Juice of raw papaya is the best treatment for pimples.Apply fresh juice of raw papaya on pimples and get a good result.
9.Directly rub potato slices all over the face, helps to get rid of blemishes and
pimple scar.
10.Drink plenty of water and vegetable or fruit juices.
11.Use cucumber or other fruit and vegetable packs to cure pimple scars.
12.Maintain a diet that is rich in cottage cheese, salads, fresh juices, fish and
yogurt.These help to cleanse your system and ward off pimples.
13.Another overnight home remedy for pimples is to put a dab of toothpaste on it to help dry it out. Calamine lotion also will have the same drying effect.
14.Pound orange peel with water and apply to affected areas.
15.Another useful remedy for pimples is zinc. Which can be taken in a dose of 50 mg daily for a month and then reduce the dose.
16.You can clean your skin with apple cider vinegar as an overnight home pimple remedy.
17.Aspirin contains Beta hydroxy acid which is a powerful defoliant ,so you can crush 1to 2 Aspirin tablets mix with a little water and apply on pimples for 15 minutes and wash.
Finally,certain medications may temporarily alter the hormonal changes prevalent during adolescence and cause pimple outbreaks. If this is the case, a simple adjustment in medication may be all that is required.
herez my answer...i tried it all...n i was successful,...hope it helps you too...

Proactiv! it works!
i had the same problem and went through a lot of products, including acne free which had worked for a while, but then suddenly stopped giving a positive affect. Proactive never worked for me, but now im using this all natural pill called Acnezine. I am telling you it wont harm you the least bit. My parents are natural, organic freaks, and wouldn't let me get this if it wasn't safe for my body. Within five days my pimply skin cleared up by taking one a day and using a face lotion they have. It is a bit expensive, but totally worth it. Try some products like Neautragina, acne free, proactive, St ives, clearasil and if it doesn't go away, i suggest Acnezine.
Cleanse your face with unboiled milk, gently rub a coarse cloth dipped in milk to remove the blackheads. Steam your face with herbs like lavender, lemon peel and mint leaves added to the water and let the skin soak up its goodness.
