How to get rid of blackheads?

I thought I stopped having this problem but of late my facial oil glands are becoming very active again.  Not that I notice any visibly ugly blackheads on my nose, but it was from my beautician's comments that my face 'is very congested' especially the chin and nose area.

The oil glands are so busy producing oil that running up and down the house is enough to make me sweat. I would be wiping away oil from my face a few times when I sweat after all the running.  And when this happens, blackheads appear easily.  I need Cellnique sebum again or else the minor problem may aggravate and cause me more serious problems.

How to solve my skincare problems?

I have finally found help.  I have requested to transfer to another centre, hoping that I can get the advice and service I need from my previous beauty consultant.  You see, this beauty consultant who is the supervisor of the outlet has long been transferred to another outlet.  I will call her SF.  After some waiting, I was finally able to meet her for my first facial session at this centre at Ampang.

Although she wasn't able to attend to me personally, she had made sure that I was taken care of by an experienced beauty consultant. True enough.. This experienced consultant gave me a lengthy explanation of what skin tag is and why I have them. She also analysed my skin in detail and enlightened me of my problems and how to overcome them.  She made sure I understood them and gave me the necessary advice.

So, she had extracted all my so-called skin tags which the consultant at the previous outlet neglected to do.  They were not exactly skin tags but have the potential to turn into them if I don't take good care of them.  According to her, they were white heads which have hardened and were quite stubborn to be removed.  Only an old hand like her can handle these problems.

Whatever it was, I walked out of the salon, feeling satisfied that my skin problems are being attended to and that I will be undergoing a series of 'repair' sessions which this consultant promised.  She assured me that she would help me to solve my problems provided I heed her advice to go for regular facial session and adhere to  regular skincare regime.

Now, this is what I call service for the money that we part with.

Removal of blackheads

Ever have the problem of removing stubborn blackheads? Or those disgusting blackheads keep appearing on your nose a few days after getting rid of them?

I had this problem which had been haunting me for years. It was very embarassing for me as I have big pores on my face. And these dreadful black things love to reside on my nose (my ugliest feature, i think). For years, I've gotten sneering remarks from those close to me whenever these black things appear. My beautician said that I have active oil glands on my nose area and this explains why my nose is the area that will be attacked first.

Methods tried to rid of the appearance of blackheads were concealing my nose area with concealer and even compact powder. At times, my face appear two-toned or caked. Of course, wiping off the oily surface with tissue didn't help. Later, I invested in facial blotters which didn't do much help either.

My nightmare came to an end when I found the perfect product of the century (well, at least it is to me at that moment). I was introduced to this product by my sister who had tried it. It is the Cellnique Sebum Gel. It really works like wonders to me. Gone are the days of awful looking blackheads-covered nose. With just a thin layer every morning, my nose is clear of oil for at least until before lunch. I still dab off the layer of oil with facial blotters. You know the appearance of oily nose can be awful at times. And, I don't even have to reapply the sebum gel after dabbing off the oil. No more visible ugly blackheads. Occasionally, I visit my beautician for my regular facial treatment after about one and a half months, my blackheads are not that horrible. Thanks Cellnique!
