Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have countless ugly little whiteheads all around my pretty eyes
( that is my only nice feature)

they are gross, and so many, don't know how to get rid of
as the skin there is so delicate and all :?:

and..
I have a zillion disgusting black heads noticable on my big nose :(

i tried joey pure pores, but it only works a little bit on my nose
and you have to order it, find it through some catalog...

Is there anything I can buy at cvs or walgreens, or a drugstore?

I don't have a lot of money right now, would want to save on shipping and handling... And just pay for it and the tax at the store.

My life sucks, I get scared when I look in the mirror... :cry:

thanks a zillion you all for any info, help re: this!!! :o

Try using a facial scrub to remove dead skin and prevent pores from clogging, which is what causes blackheads and stuff. I like to use neutrogena blackhead eliminating daily scrub. It has kind of a cooling effect to it also. Then use a benzoyle perioxide product at least once a day on your skin, but not on the eye area - it's much too harsh. Try something like oxy 10. As for the whiteheads by your eyes, try to pay attention if you're touching your face a lot in those areas throughout the day or if there are any products / make-up that could be causing the breakout. Also, if you apply make-up to your face, be sure to wash your hands first so you don't rub in the bacteria that is on them.

I hope that will be helpful for you!!
