Sebaceous Filaments 101 | Sebaceous Filaments vs Blackheads | Skincare Recs, Removal & Oil Cleansing

🟤 Have you ever looked at your nose close up and seen small white clogs covering your nose? I have had and sometimes it's so bad, my nose can remind me of a strawberry.

🟤 Those white or yellow clogs are actually something called SEBACEOUS FILAMENTS and not blackheads, which is what they are mistaken for a lot of the time. Sebaceous filaments are one of the ~ main characters ~ of my skincare concerns.

🟤 Unfortunately there is no way we can permanently remove sebaceous filaments - they will always come back but there ARE steps that we can take to minimize their appearance.

I have suffered from sebaceous filaments for about 40 years. I finally found a product that actually ended them in ONE SWIPE. It was Stridex Maximum Strength Pads. They are inexpensive and because I only need this on the nose area, I only need to use a quarter of a pad. I just scissored them. I swiped my clean face, and then a few hours I went back to check, and most were gone. In the morning there were none left! I did not add anything, moisturizer, etc. on top of the solution because I did not want to dilute it. Finally, something worked. I hope it works for others because as I said, it was inexpensive and quick! It does contain methol which I know is irritating, but for me, it is worth it in this small area. I finally feel like my face is clean,

Peach Slices makes a WONDERFUL new salicylic acid toner that’s available at CVS for only $11 and is comparable to universally loved Paulas Choice BHA/AHA toner. I started off slow with it because it’s new to me but I can easily ramp it up to daily use. Being a woman of middle age with acne/aging concerns that works in a machine shop with chemical and climate factors that increase my skin sensitivity something this effective at such an affordable price point is exciting!

Best video I have ever seen on this topic thank you ❤

[joshuafult]

it sucks having prominent sebaceous filaments but I always like to be cautious before trying to clean anything on my face. Once you scar your face it's game over.

[georgiannieconzato]

Can you use pure almond oil as an oil cleaser? Thank you!

[annarose]

Is this kind of thing okay for dry skin as long as it’s once or twice a week?

[hivelsword]

Paula's choice says you can use it twice a day. So I've been using it morning and night. Every day.

Honestly I don't notice any change. But I still use it out of habit. I'm definitely going to try the mask and the oil. I have combo skin and I will use the mask the exact same way and in the same area as you did in this vid.

I love The Ordinary products. I'm due to place another order so that 2% salicylic mask is going on there. Anyway, I'm glad I found this vid. Liked and subbed.

[kai-mott]
