blackheads??

dont waste your money on expensive skin cleaners for blackheads and spots

a marvellous remover is

dab a bit of milk of manesia on the black head or all over your face with cotton wool for a really good face mask

and voila

lerrvely soft skin and no blackheads

    I reckon you can read my mind. I use Clean & Clear and I was looking at the bottle this morning thinking, how can I save money on this ;D

    nothing is better than those strips that you wet then place over your nose

    the satisfaction/disgust seeing what sticks to the strip afterwards

    This site is kind of disgusting....
    :D
    I have five stars! This doesn't mean that I know anything about any of the things I post. I could be a raving lunatic, or a brilliant genius, or just some guy on the internet. In fact, I could be all three at the same time.

    If anything I say makes sense, then do it. If not, don't. Don't blame me or my stars if you do something stupid because I suggested it. I'm responsible for my own stupidity only. You are responsible for yours.

    Why, I don't even have five stars anymore! Aren't you glad you aren't responsible for my stupidity?

    Might have to try the milk of magnesia tip. I try to use decent products that are going to rid my face of blackheads forever, but they're expensive and don't work!

    You will also need to exfoliate the blackhead areas on a regular basis to slough off the dead skin cells. I heard about the milk of magnesia trick too although i have never used it myself.

    well, I thought it was about saving money, and using milk of magnesia instead of expensive cleaners IS about saving money
