BLACKHEADS & PORE STRIPS?!?
i don't have a ton of acne, but i do have a lot of blackheads on my nose. still, i can't get them out when i use a pore strip. the only way to get them out is to squeeze them, but i know that's bad for my skin. so what should i do to fix them????
ok so i just found out that i don't have blackheads, i have sebaceous filaments. still, how do i get rid of those??

You cannot get rid of Sebaceous filaments, they re entirely natural and essential for your skin/pores. Or you can - you can rip a lot of them out with a pore strip, but there s no point because they ALWAYS fill back in. They protect your pores from dirt - although dirt and sebum can still build up and clog your pores, that s more likely to happen if you frequently remove your sebaceous filaments. Also, yes, pore strips are very bad and damaging for your skin, and can actually tear pores and make them appear larger.
And since pores don t open or close, the only thing you can do to minimise the look of them is to use a pore-filling/mattifying primer.

The best thing to do is to go to a dermatologist, have them clear out the gunk in your pores, and talk with them about a skincare routine that prevents them from forming.

You can't. It's completely normal. If you want you can use some type of product that has an BHA (Salyclic Acid) and apply it to your nose leave it for about 3 minutes and rinse it off.
