I wash my face thoroughly and try to take good care of my skin, but sebum keeps popping up around my nose like black dots. In particular, the blackheads on the tip and sides of my nose have noticeably increased, so it bothers me every time I look in the mirror up close.
At first, I tried using nose strips a few times thinking it might help, but the effect was only temporary, and the sebum would come back up after a few days. I even tried squeezing them with my fingers or pressing them with a cotton swab to remove them, but it felt like my pores were getting wider and my skin was getting irritated, so now I'm afraid to even touch them.
Even when I wear makeup, my nose area looks particularly messy, and the foundation gets stuck in my pores, making my blackheads stand out even more. They don't go away easily even after washing my face thoroughly, so I'm not sure how to manage it.
I'm wondering if consistently using cleansing oil or sebum-removing products will help, or if it would be better to get treatments like Aqua Peel or sebum control at a dermatology clinic. Is there a way to improve not only blackheads but also enlarged pores?
