How to Get Rid of Blackheads on Nose

At some point in our lives, almost every one of us has stared at the blackheads on the pointy end of our noses. You try ignoring them (didn’t work), squeezing them (definitely didn’t work), and pretending your pores don’t exist (wishful thinking).

But here’s the good news: blackhead removal doesn’t have to be a complicated, pore-stressing affair. With the right routine, the right ingredients, and a little help from some The Body Shop favourites, blackheads won’t stand a chance.

So, let’s break it down in the easiest, everyday way possible.

What Are Blackheads, and Why Are They Obsessed with Noses?

Blackheads are pesky black specks that develop when our pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. And why do they love your nose? Because the nose is an oil-production powerhouse. More oil, more exposure and more chances of blackheads on nose.

Now, How to Remove Blackheads?

Step 1: Start with a gentle exfoliator

Your blackhead removal journey starts with exfoliation. For this, you want a daily scrub that gently buffs away dead skin cells without annoying your skin barrier.

This is exactly where The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Daily Scrub steps in. Enriched with salicylic acid, it exfoliates without overdoing it, keeps oil in check, and leaves your skin smoother and clearer over time. Use it once a day or every alternate day, depending on how sensitive your skin is.

Step 2: Deep clean with a charcoal mask

Blackheads on nose thrive in congested pores. So, a weekly (or twice-weekly) deep-cleaning mask can truly change the game. We recommend trying our Charcoal Pore-Minimising Mask, which has been proven to reduce the appearance of blackheads after first use.

Charcoal is like a magnet; it draws out impurities, excess oil, and dirt that regular cleansing can’t reach. Apply it, let it dry, and rinse it off to reveal cleaner-looking pores and a smoother nose.

Step 3: Bring out the big guns, but safely

Now, about using a blackhead removal tool:
Yes, you can use one.
No, you should not go to war with your nose.

If you’re going to use a blackhead extractor, make sure your skin is clean, slightly steamed (a warm towel works too), and be extremely gentle. Press lightly. If nothing comes out, leave it. Over-squeezing can cause scarring, irritation, or worst of all… more breakouts. Yikes.

Step 4: Use targeted treatments that keep pores clear

Once you’ve cleansed and unclogged, it’s time to keep things clean and calm. This is where The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil comes in. Just a drop on areas prone to blackheads helps purify the skin and reduce buildup. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and known for its clarifying properties, perfect for keeping those tiny pore-critters under control.

Step 5: Keep your skin hydrated (Don’t skip this!)

Contrary to popular belief, dehydrated skin produces more oil. And you know what more oil means… more blackheads. So always, always moisturise, even if you’ve oily skin.

Pick a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser that balances hydration without feeling sticky. We recommend Seaweed Oil-Control Gel Cream which is a pro at regulating sebum levels.

Step 6: Stay consistent (because blackheads are stubborn)

If you’ve ever wondered why your blackhead removal attempts only last a day, here’s the truth: Blackheads are persistent. The trick isn’t a one-time miracle treatment; it’s a routine.

Cleanse. Exfoliate. Mask. Treat. Moisturise.
Repeat.

Give it two to three weeks, and you’ll start noticing fewer blackheads, smoother skin, and a much less congested nose.
