girl, where have you been my whole life?? the moment i have a question you answer it on the video in the best way possible 😭 i’ve legit been problematizing about this for YEARS, been to several dermas, etc, but you answered my question waayyyy better. i’ll do what you recommended. thank you SO much girl have an amazing holiday 😭🥺
i’ve always wondered whether i had blackheads or not because always thought they were far too deep !!!!!!! you’re amazing thank you so so much this was SUCH useful information :)
And here I was trying to pick and push them out literally every day. 😭 sucks that they’ll never exactly go away..but I’m glad to at least know it’s normal and doesn’t mean my nose is dirty.
You have to be the happiest RUclips I’ve ever seen. You have a gorgeous smile! Also of COURSE most importantly the video was massively helpful to me. I’m just impressed also how cheerful you seem without being fake. I have a hard time with that balance!
Things I've seen results with... using honey as a face wash or mask, tweezing the sebaceous filaments and immediately "treating" the pores I guess like using a toner, using glycolic acid, and using jojoba oil as a moisturizer + oil gritting with jojoba oil. These are things I've done throughout the years that I noticed improved the appearance of my sebaceous filaments. Due to not caring for my skin consistently they have come back and now I'm trying to reduce them again.
Girl for almost all my life, I thought this were whiteheads until watching this vid. I even have seen a dermatologist & I don’t recall her telling me the difference between the two. I have been using the SA Cleanser and it’s one of the best Ive used. Thank you!
This is the third video of yours that I’ve watched and omg you’re amazing!! I’ve subbed, keep up the good work and thanks for helping us out with our skin :)
Just subscribed! Love how you’re so informative in a calm yet energetic way which keeps me ( probably many others too) really interested! No blabbing just straight to the point ✨🤍
Thanks Michelle! Welcome to the fam! I try really hard to do my research and stick to the point because skincare can be confusing and overwhelming. I want to make it easier to understand for everyone ✨
cathy I just discovered your channel and I have been bingeing all your videos! You're so informative and clear in explanation, plus make me feel like not all hope is lost ( i get overwhelmed by skincare videos quite easily and i dont feel that way here) definitely a solid member of this community. You seem really sweet too hehe, wishing u the best sis! x
I love that all your videos are under 15 mins! you make the information really concise and digestible. thank you! so grateful I found your channel. hope you have a lovely Christmas x
Very informative!!! I love the way you carry yourself and present yourself. Your smile is contagious! Thank you!! The 6 step method is great but I may modify it by leaving the cleanser on for only a minute or two. I can't leave a cleanser on for 15 minutes . I think it'd harm my skin.
Sorry for the late comment, but thank you for making this video!! I thought i had so many blackheads, i would use so many pore strips and it would be terrible for my skin! Thank you!!
I’ve been using the bha exfoliant by Paula’s Choice for a couple weeks and I have already been using tretinoin. I think my sebaceous filaments were less noticeable and a bit smaller but they definitely keep coming back. I’m bummed, as I had hoped they would stop filling up at all so thanks for clarifying the situation. My pores are visible but not too large or bad looking and I do wear makeup daily. I’m just obsessive!
@@mindovermindfuck Same! Bha was just irritating to me I think. I just accept my nose the way it is ;). I seem to really love glycolic acid! It is also exfoliating but not as irritating to me as BHA! Maybe give that a go :). And just accept that you can do your best, after that it is up to the gods :-).
Your videos are amazing. I always thought these were just blackheads I couldn’t remove. I don’t have acne so I never did full research on these, they can only be seen when I’m so close to the mirror. I’m so glad I found your videos!! P.S. the Paula’s choice exfoliant is BOMB. I started using a few months ago and it’s so good.
Why her channel is so underrated?, you deserve more, good thing I found you because your content is really informative and it's really helpful, love from ph.
I have an excellent skin care routine and I regularly read scientific articles about all ingredients I put on my skin (I'm a scientist). That said, my sebaceous fillaments are huge on my nose, so I remove a great deal of them every once a week (that's how long it takes me to look "bumpy" again). I have a special routine for removing / sterilizing and I do use tweezers because I don't even have to touch the skin for the extraction most of the time (otherwise you can seriously damage your skin).
@@sabrinase2I don't recommend if you have sensitive skin or is prone to scarring. But I manage to take them out when my skin is oilier (so not after shower, because the filaments will be "creamy") so I work on them when they are thicker, then I just stretch the nose part I wanna to work on, and I'll see them coming out (I use a magnifying glass, those you buy on store that can get attached to a mirror or smth through suction). Then I use the sterilied tweezer to pull, but I make sure not to poke the skin, I just pull the filament that is sticking out. Then I clean my face and do my regular skin care. For optimal results you might apply cold compress to close the pores. Hoever, the trick is, not to work on a skin that is creamy or anything, you want your filaments to stick out and be more rigid. Also the tweezers, it might be worth trying different ones to see the one that works the best. I hope this helps. But please don't poke your skin. ]
This was very helpful. I keep my face moisturised and i don't even need anything else at this point. I used to spot them very often but now it's been pretty long time and they are very less. Thankyou so much!! I have been trying to get rid of them for years never knew it was this easy. Love you. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for this!!!! All this time I thought I had black heads and whiteheads. When I extract them they come out whiteish. However I do notice black dots on my nose (they don’t look like blackheads though) and I can’t seem to get rid of them. Thank you for the recommendations. I do use The Ordinary and it has cleared up my skin but my nose is still the same 😭😭😭
I’m literally bawling my eyes out watching all these videos. I own all these products and nothing works. I have had sebaceous filaments since I was 11 and it’s been a nightmare
Omg im glad I found this video. I've always wondered if there was blackheads on my nose. It makes more sense now because I have only skin and large pores.
my nose is covered in those and I hate them sm😔 I use everything with hyaluronic and salicylic acid and they're still here!!! but I'm gonna try the Cerave cleanser and I also saw salicylic acid exfoliant. hopefully it helps.
This was so informative thank you so much❤️🥰also can you do a video about the difference between face and body sunscreen, and if you can use body sunscreen on your face. I always get confused between the difference between the two 🧐
I have them all over my cheeks if you look closely and I always try to pick them and that always leads to big breakouts but Im still doing it so thank you for that video 🙏🏼💜
Thanks for the video, I’ve always been confused on which of the two I had, and now I understand why sebaceous filaments are so stubborn to get rid of😩 do you think a combination of Paula’s choice 2% BHA and Cerave SA moisturiser would work well to reduce sebaceous filaments on the T zone and bumps on my forehead?
I started to care about my skin when I entered high school, and I have a black spots on my face like wtf? I tried to get rid of it by watching so many blackhead removal videos but they didn't work on me so I thought this isn't a blackheads but I don't still don't know what it is... then I saw this video! god thanks to this
My English is not good but i have to say this I loveeee your video because it's so easy to understand and so helpful Also i love your voice, beautiful face and beautiful background and i love how you separated different parts💓❤️
Loving your content! Please may you do a video on retinol?💖 I’ve been researching it for over a year and still feel confused! I started using The Ordinary 2% Granactive Retinoid but still found my skin was going through a seemingly never-ending peeling stage so I want to switch to a lower concentration but I’m not sure which product is best?
I am so glad I discovered you😆. I personally think you’re better than Hyram😂. I wanted to ask a question, what sunscreen would u recommend? And what does “broken” skin mean? Will gladly appreciate it 🥺🙏🏼
I have read that ACV is recommended to use on Aztec clay masks because it neutralizes the basic pH of Aztec with acidic ACV, so it would only damage the skin more if we use water with Aztec
Both ACV and Aztec clay (I've used it with many liquids including waters, lemon, AVC, and honey etc etc) are Extremely Harsh on my skin. If this is true for anyone else, please consider a green clay.
As a guy I have no clue what to follow my skin care before was a 3-in one… but i have black head and bumps on nose so just been researching. All my life I thought skincare was for women… the lies I been fed but with so many products i don’t know what to try first :(

How about eat less oiler processed foods and see what happens! Because people are saying they are using salicylic acid and retinoid but they aren't seeing a change
I always laugh they say when you remove your sebaceous filaments, they'll return in around 30 days. I'm like "HOW ABOUT 1 DAY?!"
Fr. mine r HORRIBLE. I have them extremely bad on my nose. I exfoliate so much and I do everything but they won’t go away :((
@@mckenzienorfolk fucking same. .... they show back up like the next day
So how you gonna remove them?
E
My chin is full of them. I'm not even trying anymore lol

YOU ARE LITERALLY A GODSEND!! Cause you cover for all the skin types and educate on something not much people talk about!
I like how she smiles while she talks
She is so happy about dirty skin....makes me feel happier about my normal skin.
im confused becouse everyone says that salicylic acid works like magic but i have used it several months and it does nothing to my skin
I'm pretty new to this whole skincare thing and it's really nice to actually get tips, recommendations and warnings like this, thank you.
