Clear Your Nose and Your Style: Essential Care Tips and Products for Men's Blackheads

Men, who secrete more sebum than women, tend to have more visible blackheads on their noses. Blackened pores are often seen by others unexpectedly, and could lead to an impression of uncleanliness and sloppiness, so it is important to take care of them on a daily basis. Therefore, in this issue, we will focus on “men’s care for blackheads on the nose,” and introduce the causes of blackheads, care methods, and recommended care items!

What causes blackheads on the nose?

The true cause of blackheads in the pores is keratin plugs that have oxidized and turned black. Keratin plugs are hardened dirt and keratin clogged in pores mixed with sebum, which prevents viruses and bacteria from entering the pores from the outside. The normal amount of sebum does not cause clogging, but if the secretion of sebum is excessive, it is not discharged smoothly from the pores, and the pores become clogged easily. Therefore, it is important to control sebum secretion and properly remove dirt. In addition, physical stimuli such as ultraviolet rays and peeling can also cause melanin pigment to be released, resulting in blackheads.

How to take care of blackheads on the nose?

Here are four ways to take care of dark spots on the nose. They are expected to be effective for both prevention and improvement, so please check them out.

Men with blackheads on the nose How to care for blackheads on the nose (1) “Wash your face correctly.

Men tend to scrub their noses. While it is understandable to want to remove all the dirt, it is important to note that vigorous washing can cause friction damage, which in turn leads to blackheads. The correct way to wash your face is to first thoroughly lather up the cleanser, place it on the skin, and push the lather deep into the skin as if rolling it, and rinse it off after about one minute. Also, depending on the skin type, using a cleanser with strong cleansing power may remove too much sebum, causing dryness and increased sebum secretion, so a mild cleanser is recommended for daily use. For a more effective face wash, it is advisable to use a steamed towel or soak in a bathtub before washing the face to open the pores.

Blackheads on the nose Male Care Method 2: “Never fail to moisturize.

It is essential to moisturize after washing face. Dryness is the skin’s worst enemy, causing excessive sebum secretion. It also makes the skin texture rough, causing pores to droop and disrupting turnover, which may aggravate blackheads. To moisturize the skin, it is important to provide both adequate moisture and oil with lotion or milky lotion. It is also recommended to choose an astringent lotion with pore-tightening effects or a vitamin C-inducing type.

Men with blackheads on the nose Prevention Method 3: “Keep a regular lifestyle.

A lifestyle that is not overly stressful, quality sleep, and a nutritionally balanced diet are also important. Excessive stress and lack of sleep can cause hormone imbalance, which may lead to excessive sebum production. Excessive intake of sugar and fat is also said to increase sebum in the same way. Although it is difficult not to accumulate stress, one should try to engage in moderate exercise and hobbies and get about 7 hours of good sleep. It is recommended to eat out, eat less junk food and snacks, and eat mainly vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and minerals, and foods rich in protein, which is the source of skin.

Men with dark nose Prevention Method 4: “Protect the skin from ultraviolet rays.”

Not only does melanin darken the skin, but UV rays can also damage and oxidize keratin plugs. Therefore, it becomes advisable to use sunscreen items if possible. While moderate sunbathing for about 10 minutes in the morning is necessary for vitamin D production and hormone secretion such as melatonin, excessive sunbathing and tanning should be avoided if you are concerned about dark spots. Particular attention should be paid to the nose, as it is the convex part of the face.
