    How do you get rid of blackheads?
    Community Answer
    There are lots of treatments you can try. Certain specific cleansers can help. Also, you can use pore strips, a common brand is Biore. If you go to Ulta there will be people there who can help you with your skin type and what might be causing your blackheads. Some quick tricks are using flossing picks (generally for your teeth) to help pop them. You can use two of them, place them in different directions and go after that blackhead. Steam can hep lift out the oil, dirt, or make up you put on your face. You can also have them professionally removed. Also, consult your dermatologist or normal doctor for possible medications to help you with blackheads.

    How do I pick the best skin care products for my oily skin?
    Community Answer
    Foaming face washes work well with oily skin. A common toner ingredient is witch hazel, but it can be overly stripping and sensitising to the skin so I recommend avoiding it. Don't leave out moisturiser, because the reason your skin is oily is because there isn't enough moisture in the first place, so the skin over produces sebum to compensate for that. You can use natural oils, such as rosehip, but go light on them as so to not clog your pores. Scrub 1-2 times a week with gentle scrubs, or scrubs formulated for oily skin.
