Re: mh...blackheads what do we do?

Well, ideally through diet change and cleanses, etc. then new blackheads would stop forming. But for the ones you have, they won't just "go away." I mean, they might, but it would take some time for them to come to the surface and fall off or be exfoliated. MH and other Curezonists can go into the details of the blackheads and how to heal them.

I would recommend you go and get a facial done, and try to observe what the facialist does and ask questions. Poking, scratching, scraping, and haphazard squeezing are not the way. Perhaps you could inform them ahead of time that you want to learn from them. I believe there is a technique for gently squeezing and applying pressure to the skin that will release these blackheads and whiteheads from the pores without damaging the skin. If you can afford it, you could get facials done regularly for a while (you could request they not use certain products if you are worried about the chemicals).
Also skin brushing for general maintenance should help, and sea salt scrubs.
