Blackheads on nose

Blackheads on nose are very common.  You can get blackheads anywhere on your body, but you’ll likely notice the ones on your nose first.

There isn’t anyone I know who hasn’t had to deal with unsightly blackheads or large pores on your face (or anywhere on your body for that matter).  Those ‘dots’ on our skin, usually brown, black and sometimes yellow are unsightly for sure.  But, what are blackheads and what causes show up from time to time?

What are blackheads?

Blackheads are simply just clogged pores.  They appear dark in color on the skin – compared to the surrounding skin and its main cause dead skin that is sitting on your skin.  We need pores so that our skin absorbs moisture.  But, in addition to that, pores release oils from our skin and allow our skin to breath. The problem is that pores can become clogged with dirt, debris, and oil.  When this happens, the skin forms a pimple (also known as a pustule).  If it pops, you can get a blackhead.

While there are numerous causes of these conditions, the remedy is often simpler than people think.  And, it doesn’t involve using pore strips.

Remedy for blackheads on nose

First, I want to address the pore strips that were so popular.  These strips often contain alcohol.  Plus, because of the adhesive nature of the strip, it can actually remove oil from your skin.  Removing oil is counterproductive because it causes your skin to produce more oil to compensate for the loss of oil that it needs.  This, then, causes more pimples.  Thankfully, there is a better way!

A regular regiment of proper skin care can often help keep huge blackheads from forming and reduce the appearance of large pores on your face and other areas.  Regular exfoliation (of course, we recommend Nutt So Ruff’s skrub bars) which gently removes dirt, oils and dead skin cells and can help restore your beautiful skin.

And, remember:  The skin on your body (i.e. your legs) are different than the skin on your face so you shouldn’t use the same product on your whole body / face.  You’ll want to choose something for your face and something entirely different for your body – it’s all dependent on your skin type.

Follow these simple steps to beautiful, glowing skin:

• Identify your skin type!  Oily, normal, dry
• Begin a daily routine to wash your skin with warm, (never hot), water at least twice daily – especially if you wear a lot of makeup or have been sweating a lot.
• Before you begin, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly – this is so important.
• Select a gentle cleanser that compliments your skin type.
• Use your Nutt So Ruff face bar and gently rub on your face to gently remove excess dead skin and oils.
• Rinse thoroughly and pat your skin dry with a soft towel.
