It’s probably the chapstick, it clogs the pores around the lips.

I'd go get extractions done by an aesthetician/beauty therapist and swap over your chapstick for a better quality lip product. Use something like lucas paw paw ointment, there's no mineral oil in that and much better than any old chapstick.

I recommend daily exfoliating with an exfoliant or home microdermabrasion cream. I use EpidermxII microdermabrasion pro-treatment from goldportbeauty.com. I recently got a big blackhead near the inner corner of my right eye and I couldn't squeeze it out. I massaged EpidermxII on it for two weeks and then stopped for a few days. It dried up and came to a head. I pulled the lump out very easily but it left a hole there. I applied camellia oil on the hole and the hole literally closed overnight, and after 3 more days of applying the oil there is no trace of the hole. Yay!

it "came to a head"???? like it popped out and you juss pulled it off?? and will camellia oil close up holes even if ive had them awhile or??

[patsluv]

I might not have said it right. What I was trying to say was, before using EpidermxII, the blackhead (which was a small white milia initially and then turned into a big blackhead) was soft and I couldn't squeeze it out. When I massaged EpidermxII on it - I did it for about 30 - 40 seconds each time, it kind of flattened out a bit and there was a tiny bit of blood coming out. I did that for 2 weeks and every time the blackhead looked better but I still couldn't pull it out because it was still soft. I stopped EpidermxII for a few days and then the blackhead became hardened up. That's when I pulled it out easily.

I think the camellia oil can close the blackhead hole even if it's been there for a long time. I have some indented scars caused by past acne breakouts a long time ago. This EpidermxII and Silkia camellia oil have plumped them up considerably. The tiny ones are completely gone after half of a year and the deeper ones are nowhere as deep as they were after a year.

Might be your toothpaste.
IMO, chapstick shouldnt cause blackheads, but it might.

[Frosting]

Invest in an oil free lip balm and use a toner on your face after you get out of the shower to close pores. The steam from a shower opens your pores so using a toner would close your pores so makeup (and chapstick) wont seep in and clog up

have a quick facial, get rid of it

[Kimmers86]

I agree it could be your toothpaste or chapstick. I used to use a lot of chapstick and I had the same thing and now I never use anything on my lips except carmex and I don't have the blackheads...but it could be a coincidence.

It might be the wax in your Chapstick.

I agree, I think the wax in your chapstick clogs the pores around your lips. An exoliator can also be helpful ... good luck!
