Since blackheads are actually caused by oil in the skin (not dirt or other debris) washing the face too much can actually cause more blackheads! (wellnessmama.com)
But, besides from «pushing» 2 of my blackheads out it has just made me get so much more blackheads to the point where I have about 8 deeply embedded blackheads (not just the black dots, the bumpy black ones) and I have persevered but I am tired of it as it makes me feel completely awkward in face to face conversations as I know people can see them and have said things like «looks like you have a mountain on your nose» and me just feeling like utter garbage.

Love this recipe (along with all of your others) but after using the mask, I had to rewash my face and use my brush because the charcoal stuff in my pores... I looked like I had more blackheads when I was finished than when I started. (bodyunburdened.com)
