Why are the pores on my nose so prone to clogging?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The pores on the nose tend to clog more easily because <span style=\"background: linear-gradient(transparent 60%, #ffeb3b 60%);\">the sebaceous glands in that area are more active than elsewhere on the face, and skin cell turnover is more easily disrupted.<\/span><br>\ud83d\udca7 The nose produces more sebum, which increases the likelihood of comedones blocking the pores.<br>\ud83d\udc43 The pointed shape of the nose also plays a role.
