You should wash your face 2 times a day with a cleanser that has salicylic acid in it. After everytime you wash your face use an astringent then a light moisturizer. 3 times a week use a scrub(like St.Ives apricot scrub) to remove dead skin cells. And once a week use the pore strips. And its usually not a good idea to try and squeeze them because your hands will only spread the bacteria and push the blackhead in deeper. But if your problem continues see a dermatologist.

Try not to get crazy when washing your face. Overdoing it can cause the skin to dry and flake, which causes the skin to produce more oil to make up for the loss of moisture. You also don't want to over moisturizer your face. If your face looks greasy right after applying then you used to much. If your skin is sensitive you might want to try using clay masks, preferably rose colored, for delicate skin. Using this once or twice a week should reduce the blackheads. If you want quick fixes through the day use Cornsilk loose powder. Its yummy for the skin and brings oil under control. Diet can sometimes be a factor in how your skin looks. Drink lots of water, avoid oily food, eat lots of fruits and veggies, and keep the b2 levels up. As acid-rose said AVOID SQUEEZING, PICKING, POPPING ETC. Although you hate the oily skin now you may be glad later on. It's a known fact that people with oily skin age slower. Hope that helps.

trust me!
k if u be persistant with this regime it will work. cleanse morning and night with a cleanser that has beta-hydroxy in it,
Three times a week, say mon, wed, fri, use a clay mask, one with rose extract for sensitive skin, or something natural and thick for more heavy duty. (if thick is your choice start out only once a week for two weeks then twice a week for two and so on)
after you have cleansed tone with a natural toner, ie witch hazel, u can water it down of your a little sensitive. (some say this is too strong but it's the only thing ive found that works and i have slightly sensitive skin)
then a light moisturiser only a small amount is needed as those with blackheads usually have oily skin, i kno i do!
then u can also use the pore strips to, if u prefer something extra, HOWEVER dont use them more than once a week and make sure the skin is moist or it will break the pigmentation causing redness.;) good luck and let me know
