How to get rid of this awful nose

14 replies

twinkletwinkles · 10/05/2022 19:20

My nose is looks absolutely awful, one of the things I'm most conscious about. It's been like this for years, I've tried nose strips (those black ones) exfoliating, I have this hoover thing for spots which gets anything out but still my nose looks like this and the pores are just absolutely ginormous and you can see them a mile off. Has anyone had similar and is there anyway I can sort this out or am I destined to have a strawberry nose forever?

I honestly don’t see anything wrong with it? Bit of redness but that’s nothing. Sorry not much help!

It's the absolutely huge pores! I've been so conscious about it for years but I just want something that will make it look less noticeable!

A decent toner in your skin care and a primer before makeup are my only suggestions. I have tried all sorts of acids but didn’t really make a difference. I think long term there is a laser thing you can have done. I doesn’t look bad to me though, we’re our own worst critics

Stop hoovering it! Google sebaceous filaments
You can't close your pores so you can only minimise the appearance
Retinol helped mine, but a pore filling/smoothing primer and a blurring foundation/powder should help
Niacinamide is also good

I can't see anything wrong with it .

You think your pores are big ?? People have fallen down mine and never been seen again !

I would see a beautician if they bother you, they have treatments that can help.

I'm envious of how clear it looks. Honestly there is nothing that other people would notice. If you hadn't explained I would struggle to know what you were referring to.

Try Azaelic acid from The Ordinary. My nose was like that, and it made an incredible difference

fruitpastille · 10/05/2022 20:19

Thanks @CMOTDibbler I've read lots about azelaic acid for rosacea but when I tried to buy it a few months ago there seemed to be none in stock. It's on it's way... hope it works.

Honestly there's nothing wrong with it. I guarantee no one really notices your nose.

Collagen has really helped my pores. I take it in liquid format daily and the difference is really quite significant. Also for the rest of my skin too!

Oh dear mine looks a bit like this but up until your post I hadn’t particularly worried about it!!

Organictangerine · 10/05/2022 20:26

This is my nose to be honest. The more I do to it the worse it gets. Step away from the pore strips.
Use liquid concealer as a foundation on your nose. Normal foundation is too thin. Make sure you remove it in the evening with a non-oily makeup remover.

Same!

The pores don't look clogged which is great but there is a slight orange peel look to the skin on your nose when you are zoomed in on it.

Balance Active Formula 15% Niacinamide Blemish Recovery Serum (30 ml) - Contains 15% Niacinamide which targets blemish-prone skin & improves skin texture.

This is inexpensive and should make a difference to the texture of your skin as it has mine.

Available in places like Home Bargains and Amazon for under a fiver.

Don't bother with the one by The Ordinary, it's crap.
