Blackheads / lips

Ive recently been driven mad by blackheads on the edge of my lips. Because of the awkward area i can’t use a scrub or wash or anything. Also my lips keep feeling like they have dead skin but i exfoliate them and nothing makes them feel better!
Its getting to the point of a pms homicidal rampage!!!

    ive been to treatments and facials that helped for a little while but after a few weeks they always come back! its too expensive fore me to go all the time, so im definately going to try the natural remedy above!

    I don`t know how you`d get rid of the blackheads around your lips, prob best to see a beauty therapist for advice or treatment.
    The ones around the nose are easiest to remove by steaming your face (put it just above a bowl of boiling water and cover with a towel for a few mins or shower for 5-10mins.) and then using pore strips!

    I found this tip on the internet. Haven`t tried it myself, but could be worth a try.

    Blackheads Removal

    A nasty beauty enemy, but here`s a remedy:

    Combine 1/4 cup boiling water with one teaspoon of Epsom salt and three drops of iodine.
    Let mixture cool until it`s comfortable to the touch.

    Saturate a cotton ball with this mixture and dab on blackheads.
    This will allow them to loosen so they can be easily squeezed with a gauze pad.

    Blackheads around the edges of the lips can be a problem caused by oily lip glosses and lip balms. The oil can get into the pores around the mouth and trap dirt in them. If you`ve started to use something new which might be causing the blackheads, stay away from lip gloss and balm for a bit to see if it helps.

    I alsp have a small area of blackheads just undernealth and on ontop of my lips, very annoying. oils/grease from eating can trigger them, take care to avoid this can clean when it does happen, as with black dots on nose, it also can be open large pores, that may be why you can`t get rid of them. I have these too! use products that make your pores smaller, rhijayne

    I get this too and yes it drives me insane. I used to try to pick at them and squeeze them out somehow! I have found the best product for this to be Alpha-H Liquid Gold. It`s an AHA lotion that I use like a toner everyday, and I make sure to go over my lip area with it.
