Ok, I've always had bad acne, but in teh summer it gets way worse. I've always had blakc heads to, around my nose, chin, and forhead. There starting to get worse; more deep, larger, and darker. It really grosses me out! I use proactive for my acne, but it doesn't work on my black heads. I've tried strips before, and they don't help at all. I need something very powerful that will get rid of all of my black heads AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Does anyone know any thing I can use?! I'm up for any possibility (even a certain kind of strips). Thanks!

You can get it just about anywhere, here's what it looks like: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Here's a home remedy for black heads: Take a cheese grater and grate up a cucumber. Apply all over your target areas for 15 minutes. This helps draw the oil out of the pores that makes blackheads start in the first place.
2. Mash aspirin with spoon and add a little drop of water to make a paste, appply on blackheads.
3. Take vitamin B5 and zinc supplements daily to strengthen the skin's resistance to acne. [ kristen22's advice column | Ask kristen22 A Question ]

You clean your face with whatever acne products you like (yet I don't recommend ProActive b/c it isn't effective for blackheads) but yet use products like Clean&Clear cleansing wash, and the apricot scrubs work great! Then you want to use those cleansing wipes 2-3 times a day. Just after a few applications of it you'll see a reduction of blackheads.
