One of the worst places for blocked pores and pimples is the nose and most of us have experienced that awful morning feeling when you wake up and your nose feels like it wants to explode! The question is: ?How to get rid of spots'? We look at a few top tips below:

1. A good blackhead remover bought from a pharmacy or drugs store can do wonders if used as part of a good clear pore cleansing routine. Blckheads are one of the main causes of nose pimples and the cheap removal tool has loops on either end and you just run it over your pores and it will remove them gently, without scarringthe nose.

2. An even cheaper technique is to place a facecloth or flannel in the hottest water you can for 30 seconds and then CAREFULLY take it out and place it over your nose and hold it there for two minutes. This will act the steam the skin and open those pores so you can clear them by gentle squeezing.

3. Many skincare companies now produce a facial scrub and this can do wonders for keeping clear pores on your nose as it helps to remove dead skin, preventing an clogging - the cause of most pimples. If you do feel you must squeeze your pimples, however you must be very careful as you can easily damage your skin permanently
