Q: Are you suppose to pop your pimples or not? And the same with Black heads? What are you suppose to do. I use this blackhead scrub stuff and it makes my blackheads bigger. Is that giving me a sign to pop them? I seldum get pimples with white heads. And usually I accident pop them. Is that bad?
yes, its bad because it will leave scars. We dont want that, do we?
the scrubs making your blackheads bigger because its enlarging the pores, causing more oil to come out and all the dust will make the pore become clogged.
heres what you should do:
1- For a great skin, eat a lot of fruit, pimples means you need vitamin A. Why not also take a multi vitamin?
2- wash your face with a cleansed everyday twice. (morning and before you go to bed)
3- After using the cleanser, use an astringent , its will minimize the pores. Or use a tonic, it will clean the stuff that the cleanser couldnt clean.
But be careful, do not use a cleanser for oily skin if your skin is a combination. There are special products for that cause non-oily areas might get dry.
I do what you do but I try my best not to play with my face. Whenever I pop a blackhead, some hard oil comes out . Then I wake up with a white headed pimple. Ive stopped doing that, and I eat more fruit and Ive noticed my skin is getting better. The question is: Do you have ACNE or are they just regular pimples?
You havent specified where you get te pimples and blackheads. For the nose, dont use the "biore" sticker that unblocks the pores, use the "nose pore mask" from the body shop.
Use a scrub once a week (with tea tree oil) to get rid of the dead skin that might be still on your face.
I suggest you go to a doctor so he can see what exactly is the problem.

I don't have acne but I get pimples every once in awhile, and I was popping my blackheads, I have alot of them on my nose and chin, but I never got a white head after popping my blackheads lol
