Darcy asked: I have blackheads all over my stupid nose and chin. I’ve tried using scrubing wash. That didn’t work. Then I just tried washing my face every morning and night. And that didn’t work either. So then I heard of these things called nose strips. I want to try it but I want to [...]

I have tried Biore, and that seems to work for maintenance. I used to have a lot of problems with the nose area, and I went to a salon for a professional facial. A couple of those, and the blackheads are gone. Pricey, of course. But I think you need to first get rid of them professionally, then wash your face twice a day, and use Biore once or twice a week. Just trying to scrub your nose to death will just irritate your skin.

Hi!
For strips pull hard and fast think waxing!! Only issue I had was dark hairs started growing off the top of my nose from the waxing effect of the strips 
Exfoliate totally TRY IT!!!!!!!!!!Dry coffee (ground) on moist skin, rub in gentle circles 30 seconds and rinse! Beware of messiness lol.
I actually found a facial oil that slows down your skins oil production, clears up pimples/ acne and dissolves black heads within 4-8 weeks I put all the info on my blog as it’s quite detailed:
I also put a full article of how to extract blackheads and steam your skin.
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:
Also be sure to check out all the links on my blog as they have lots of info!!!
For acne you may want to look on Google for Drying Lotion by Mario Badescu.
Take care and good luck!

Women’s health magazine reccomends a Neutrogena product that has exfoliating pads that are quilted and good for the most stubborn blackheads.

I’ve only tried the Biore ones, and that was some years ago, and they did an OK job. I don’t think any nose strip is going to get ALL of your blackheads, but the Biore ones did seem to get quite a bit.
They did seem to be quite expensive for basically being adhesive strips.
You basically wet the area you want to take blackheads from, in a big enough area so that you can “seal” the strip to your skin. The key is to put it on correctly, without any air pockets so it dries on your skin nice and flat. Once it’s dry, you pull it off, and you can see how many blackheads it’s pulled out.
They have ones for the forehead, and they might even have some for the chin, or I guess you could just use the forehead ones for it.
