You know it’s bad when your nose is out here glowing harder than your future. 💀 “T-zone toh T-series ka YouTube channel ban gaya hai — non-stop shine hi shine.” And before you come for me, I’m not here to tell you to just “wash your face and drink water” like those skincare reels that oversimplify everything.
If your nose is so oily that your specs keep sliding off, your foundation splits right down the middle like a breakup, and your selfies demand a matte filter every damn time — welcome to the club. Let’s talk how to get rid of oily nose for real — not just with tips, but understanding why it happens, what fixes it short-term and long-term, and how you can tame the nose-shine without taming your entire personality.
Let’s not sugarcoat it — your nose is greasy because nature said, “Let’s put all the oil-producing factories right here in the center of the face.” The skin on your nose has a ridiculously high density of sebaceous glands. Combine that with Delhi NCR’s humid weather, hormonal drama, and Instagram-fueled skincare confusion — and boom, oil-fest.
Main culprits?
🧴 Fun fact: The more you scrub thinking you’ll “remove oil,” the harder your skin works to produce more. Mat balo yeh jung — samjha karo.
Some shine is okay. But if you:
🤳 DIY Test: Take a blotting sheet or even toilet paper. Press it on your nose and cheeks. If your nose blot turns translucent and your cheek doesn’t — welcome to the oily-nosed fam.
Let’s be honest — some days, you don’t have time for a full routine. Here’s your quick survival kit for an oily nose crisis:
💄 Pro tip: Keep a mini blotting sheet pack in your purse or pocket. It’ll save you from looking like you ran a marathon at 2 PM.
Consistency > Complication. You don’t need 25 serums. You need 5 things that work.
Okay listen — not everything from your kitchen is your skincare friend. But a few humble combos do help if done right.
⚠️ PSA: Avoid lemon juice, baking soda, and toothpaste — unless you enjoy stinging, pigmentation, and future regrets.
You can’t switch off oil glands, but you can manage them. Think of it like managing an overly dramatic roommate.
🧘♀️ Desi wisdom: “Jo chipak raha hai, usse mat ched. Samay ke saath theek hoga — ya skincare ke saath.”
Sometimes, it’s just a hormonal or internal trigger that needs medical insight.
Because your nose has more sebaceous glands, it’s normal (but annoying).
Kind of. It slows down with age, but you’ll still need to maintain.
No. Please don’t. You’ll just produce more oil out of dehydration.
Niacinamide, salicylic acid, green tea, zinc PCA.
Yes! It ages slower. Silver lining, y’all.
Use oil-free primer, set with powder, blot midday.
Twice a day. No more. No less.
Absolutely. Especially during periods, stress, or hormonal imbalances.
Depends. Some like squalane or rosehip can work — but sparingly.
Give it 3 weeks. Stay consistent and don’t switch too often.
Look, your oily nose isn’t out to get you. It’s just doing its job a little too well. The goal is not to remove all oil — that’ll backfire. The goal is balance. Think hydration + gentle exfoliation + oil control — not harsh products or panic routines.
And next time someone says, “Your nose is glowing,” just smirk and say, “Yeah, it’s called ✨healthy sebum management✨ — try it sometime.”
