There are likely many of you who are bothered by the bumpy sebum or blackheads around your nose every time you look in the mirror. In particular, the nose is an area with well-developed sebaceous glands, so oil secretion is active and sebum tends to accumulate relatively easily.

Today, I will summarize the reasons why sebum forms on the nose, how to safely remove it, home care methods, and even dermatological treatments.

1. Reasons for nasal sebum formation

There are some people who produce a particularly large amount of sebum on their nose. It is said that because the nose is located in the center of the face and has a high density of sebaceous glands, it is oilier than other areas and sebum accumulates easily.

 

- Causes of excessive sebum buildup on the nose

1) Excessive sebum secretion

2) Excessive face washing

3) Accumulation of makeup residue

4) When dead skin cells block the pore opening

5) Greasy eating habits

 

As such, it is said that nasal sebum can be caused by the influence of the skin environment and lifestyle habits.

2. Home Care Method for Removing Nose Sebum

It is said that following the order below is helpful when removing nose sebum with home care.

 

1) Cleanse the area around the pores with lukewarm water.

It is said that it is important to wash your face with lukewarm water because water that is too hot dries out the skin, and cold water makes it difficult to remove impurities.

 

2) Use cleansing oil or balm

It is said that dissolving and removing the oil can be helpful for nose sebum. It is important to gently roll a cleansing oil or balm around the nose and allow the product to fully emulsify.

 

3) Utilization of BHA ingredients

For cleansing oils, it is recommended to use one containing BHA. It is said to be an ingredient that helps exfoliate dead skin cells on the epidermis and deep within the pores of the dermis.

 

4) Soothing + Moisture Care

It is said that if you excessively remove sebum in an attempt to get rid of it, your skin may become dry and actually become oilier, so it is important to combine hydration and soothing care.

3. Nose Sebum Removal Habits You Should Avoid

1) Squeezing out sebum with your hands

It is said that you should avoid squeezing out sebum with your hands as much as possible, as it can cause inflammation or enlarged pores.

 

2) Excessive use of nose strips

You should be careful because frequent use of nose packs can cause irritation, and physically peeling off sebum can cause inflammation or wounds on the surrounding skin.

 

3) Excessive face washing

You should avoid excessive washing, as washing your face multiple times a day can disrupt your skin's balance.

5. Q&A

1) Do I need to squeeze out nasal sebum every day?
Squeezing out nasal sebum every day is not recommended because irritation can accumulate.

 

2) Are nose blackheads and sebum different?

When sebum comes into contact with air and oxidizes, it appears black; this is called a blackhead. In other words, a blackhead refers to a condition where excessively secreted sebum accumulates in the pores, tangles with various waste products, and turns black as it oxidizes.

Nose sebum is a natural phenomenon that can occur in anyone, but skin texture and pore condition can vary depending on how it is managed. It is said that rather than simply squeezing out the sebum, it is important to identify the cause and manage it consistently in a way that minimizes irritation.
