How I noticed redness around my nose?

When I was in college my friend called out to me and said, “Hey, your nose is red are you sick?” and I for some reason said, “No, I am fine. Maybe, my skin is dry, and because of that it might be looking like that”.

And after that, I took action and tried to fix it with some home remedies but it didn’t work for me.

One of the worst things you can do is listen to some random people on the internet and apply things that you shouldn’t apply. Like Lemon juice! Yes, I applied lemon juice and it burnt like hell. The pain is similar to applying lemon juice to a wound.

And this skin condition remained with me for my entire college life. And it looked even worst during functions and parties. Because it will highlight on my face to have red crease around nose.

Will the redness around my nose stay forever?

Not really, it only depends on the skin condition. But I have mentioned some of the easiest ways you can tackle this skin condition. I am not an expert, but some things which worked for me might work for you too!

1 Find the problem

The first step in getting rid of redness around your nose is to identify the culprit that is generating the irritation. One of the main causes of redness around the nose is skin irritation, which can be brought on by ingredients in skincare products like alcohol, artificial scents, and tints, as well as harsh makeup wipes. 

You might notice that after using a particular product your skin is getting worst and is hard to recover. For me, it was Coconut oil. I don’t know why but I used coconut oil constantly even though it burned the affected area and caused more redness around my nose.

That doesn’t mean you should never use coconut oil. If it works for you then it is great and you should always choose products that work for you.

2 Dehydration

So, If you are someone who faces this issue only in winter then there might be a chance that you are not having enough water. Many people know that their skin gets worst during winter because of the cold weather and if you have dry skin, you know it too.

As the weather is cold, we just forget to drink water and the average intake of water on your normal days can be cut down to half during winter. That doesn’t mean that you should drink 3 litters of water every day. But drink an adequate amount of water each day.

Even if you don’t want it to try to drink a minimum of 6 glasses of water. And see how it works wonderfully for your skin.

One of the simplest ways to hydrate the skin is by applying a hydrating essence. You can then add a hydrating serum and dab it on the nose area. Skin dehydration can also produce redness around the nose.

3 Food

Remember what you eat and put inside your body will show outside. Most people don’t take food seriously until they know that certain food can cause harm to them. People only avoid foods that they know are allergic to them and cause them serious health issues,

Grain items, such as tortillas, bread, pasta, grits, and rice Bita and yeast-containing alcohols like wine and Seltzer beers. Your scalp will remain dry, itchy, red, flaking, and scaly thanks to yeast and sugars from grains.

 Yeast is a fungus that easily spreads throughout your body and feeds on the natural oils secreted by your scalp. Since yeast essentially consumes natural oils, it can create an infection.

Now that we have covered some basics, I want to tell you what I discovered about my Skin condition. There is no proof that you might be going through the same but it’s always better to know than to Ignore it.

4 Seborrheic dermatitis

It is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that is similar to dandruff on the scalp and can affect any part of the body, but it tends to concentrate in places with a lot of oil glands.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a kind of eczema that typically affects the scalp, but it can also cause redness around nose, swelling, and wheezy scaling on the sides of the nose.

This skin problem, especially in persons with pale skin, frequently manifests as these red areas and a lot of flakes. Anywhere there are numerous oil glands, including the area around the lips, the eyebrows, the beard, and the nose, flaky patches might develop.

There is no known treatment for this chronic condition. But you should do your research before you find what skin condition you have

I am still struggling to find the best face wash for me but lukewarm water works best because it takes down all the dust and oil from your skin. Make sure you wipe down the water gently and if possible, use a freshly washed towel to avoid any skin problems.

This helped me with redness around nose and also got rid of blackheads with this soft brittle brush.

3 Gua Sha

Gua sha is thought to increase blood flow, encourage the formation of collagen, and enhance the skin’s overall appearance. Gua sha is additionally used by certain people to soothe facial tension and wrinkles, as well as to relax the face and jaw.
