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. No doubt many expensive skin care clinics have mushroomed in ever nook & corner, offering to clear all the scars & blemishes on the face, but they are very expensive & charge exorbitant price for each sitting; not everyone can afford them. So why not try out this simple skin care regimen to minimize the damage caused by acne & as far as possible prevent its eruption.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
