Skin on the nose is rough - What to do?

Reader's Query
Sanjana asks:
My 12 year old daughter’s nose is very rough to touch. How can it be made smooth and normal? Is there are a home remedy or medicine that can be applied? 

nose is rough to touch

Response:
It seems as if the skin pores on your daughter’s nose have become blocked by blackheads.

Steam the affected area for 3 minutes; for this gently hold her face to steam emanating from boiled water kept in a vessel or a face-steamer. You may even add Tulsi leaves to the vessel, if you wish. But don't oversteam or let her hold her face too close to the vessel.

Then cleanse her nose with deep pore cleansing milk  and gently wipe off the grime from her nose with clean cotton ball.  Don't ever use any blackhead extractor or any thing of that sort; her skin is too tender for that.

Now  wipe some skin toner on her nose with another  piece of cotton wool. (You may use this Home-made cleansing milk and toner mentioned in the post.)

At night, massage the nose with a moisturizer. Place your fingertips at the base of the nose. Then stroke and slide your fingers towards the temples. Repeat 5 times.

The second step is to put your thumb and forefinger at the base of the nose and then to massage with a circular movement. Then move up to the bridge of the nose and repeat the massage.

While massaging, take care not to put any pressure on the bony part of the nose. The strokes should be light and smooth. Leave it for 30 minutes or so, then gently wipe it off with cotton wool dipped in water.

    use an exfoliator..or a nose peel-off masks..
    it may be due to heavy build up of black heads..

    You can use a facial moisturizing lotion with aloe in it. You can put pure 100% aloe lotion on just the rough spots. You can use Eucerin a moisturizing lotion. Or, you can use a moisturizer that does not clog pores for your face. Also, try washing with a moisturizing soap that contains aloe or oatmeal.

    ust use a wash clothe and exfoliate. Exfoliating will open your pores and help clean them out. You can also use face scrubs like the Neutrogena pink grapefruit scrub.

    @Anonymous comments #8, 9: Do not try to extract your blackheads all by yourself since you are not doing it properly. visit a beauty salon and have it done. Other remedies for blackheads are suggested in this post or this aspirin mask or this cucumber mask

The ache of acne (pimples)

Acne is often the bane of a pretty face. It is painful more emotionally than physically, for the scar that it leaves behind can last for a lifetime, adding to one’s miserable look & feeling.

Natural remedies for dark circles around your eyes

Dark circles around your eyes. How unsightly they look and even your best dress and layers of make-up sometimes does not quite succeed in concealing them! Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion. When your nose is congested, veins that usually drain from your eyes into your nose become widened (dilated) and darker.

Common cold is a very common malady which affects people during monsoons. (Also see the post Beauty and body care in monsoon for a monsoon beauty regimen.) It can be caused by any one of more than 200 viruses. Normally it is confined to the nose and throat although the virus can infect the larynx and lungs. It is said that there is no particular cure for colds, they are naturally relieved within a week. Treatment is just an attempt to relieve its symptoms such as headache, stuffy nose, sore-throat and congestion. Paracetamol tablets are generally taken to get relief from these symptoms.

Beating stress – some tips

It is very difficult to come across a happy, contented face in a crowd these days. Stress has become a way of life with people these days. Sure, we all need to be a little tense once in a blue moon. After all it acts as a positive force and helps us get things done. But when tension becomes a habit with us and we are unable to cope up with it, we say we are undergoing stress. Some people are simply born more tense than others. Children of over-anxious parents generally grow up to be more anxious than the others.
