The best form of skin care is to clean clean clean.
Wash your face several times a day, if your nose area is a problem, concentrate on that a little more.
On top of cleansing frequently, find a skin care moisturizer that is good for your skin.
To get rid of the blackheads, try biore strips, or some other type of blackhead removal strip. A lot of people get black heads around their nose, and most strips are actually made just for the nose area.
After you get rid of them, keep up with your skin regime, to help your skin in the future.
Good luck :)Pores in nose problem?
Well pores are a little hard to say because it is not like a wound which heals. They will either reduce with time or they won't (sorry I know you probably don't want to hear that).
Get a good quality face cream that will help your skin to remain healthy. Some good brands are NeoStrata and John Plunkett, or nutri synergy. NeoStrata is particularly good because they developed AHA and PHA's so since they hold the patent they will have the highest concentrations. Other companies will advertise that their products contain them even if there is only 1% in the product. Which is a waste because they need a minimum of 4% for it to actually do anything. Quality products cost more but less is needed so if you use it right it will last a fair while, and since it can help prevent a lot of problems in the future it is well worth the cost. Often times you will be spending more on coffee per day than on skin care.
Secondly Toning is a farce. Double cleansing with a soap and detergent free wash will do your skin so much better. Also make sure it does no contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or Sodium Laureth Sulfate, these are chemical degreasers put into toothpaste, hand wash etc for their foaming properties (the foam btw is not what cleans, there is no need for it except that for generations we have been brought up on the misconception that foam=cleansing).
Soaps, detergents and foaming chemical degreasers strip the oil from your skin THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING. Your body reacts to the loss of oil by producing MORE.
Blackheads are oil that has risen to the surface but been trapped (same as pimples) with pimples the oil is trapped under a layer of skin, so when you touch a pimple you are touching skin, when you touch a blackhead you are touching oil. They turn black as a result of the oil coming into contact with air (oxidisation). Blackheads and pimples will both be absorbed naturally in time. Do not squeeze either of them, everytime you squeeze the oil out of a pimple or blackhead you risk it sqeezing into the skin too which results in more pimples. However in this appearance focused wold we live in we always want to get rid of them, in which case I recommend Single cleansing in the morning followed by a quality unfragranced face cream for sensitive skin (even if you don't have sensitive skin these products are less likely to contain nasty chemicals but still be careful when choosing-also they may be less fashionable but who cares about fashion when your skin could look ten years younger than everyone elses in ten years time, youthful longevity is the ultimate fashion statement), in the evening double cleanse (cleansing twice is especially important after use of make up) this is cheaper and better for your skin than using a toner, followed by reapplication of your quality moisturiser.
-Use sunscreen (quality is better than cheaper, SPF is not how effective a sunscreen is it is how long it is effective for, eg. 30+ x 10 is 300mins IN PERFECT CLINICAL CONDITIONS so still apply as recommended on pack, Quality determines effectiveness, use physical blocker sunscreen for max protection rather than chemical blocker. Zinc btw is one of the physical blockers, except on really dark skin, physical blocking sunscreen preparations don't turn you all white for the day like straight zinc cream does) Sunscreen will keep you looking younger as it protects against UV damage
-Always leave 10 mins between each: cleansing, moisturising, makeup and sunscreen
-If you moisturise everyday from teenage years (although it is never too early or late to start) you will have better chances at looking younger for longer
Healthy skin heals better, has better elasticity (which will help with your wish to close those pores) and also looks better.
If you smoke the benefits of the above will still be worth the effort but nowhere near as effective if you didn't smoke.
