how do you open up your pores? do i shower with hot water and wait a while?

i need to get rid of my blackheads (on my nose) but no facewash helps. i think its something im doing wrong. or else.. whatever im using on face, do i wait a while then wash it off? wait for it to absorb into my face?

now im resorting to picking at them..

What you can do is boil some water and pour it into a bowl.

Put the bowl on your bathroom counter and shut the door.

Bend over so that your face is in the reach of the steam and wait until the water stops steaming.

It will then help make your pores open up.

Then, pinch your blackheads to remove them after steaming.

This should work for most people.

If it doesn't work, try the blackhead strips from Biore, those work pretty well.
