Due to the hot weather, sebum production is skyrocketing this season! For areas with particularly high sebum production, such as the nose and the T-zone, meticulous sebum management is essential to prevent pores from enlarging.
Blackheads, which trouble many people, can be effectively managed with gentle methods. Here, we introduce how to manage them effectively with low irritation and recommend beauty items that are effective for sebum control.
Step 1: Sebum Care in the Skincare Routine

Step 4: Wipe Off Softened Sebum
Use a cotton swab dipped in cleansing oil to gently wipe the nose, removing the sebum. It is recommended to use a cotton swab instead of peel-off nose packs, which can cause unnecessary irritation to the skin.
