I'm 17 and my nose is usually congested
so maybe that's it
it's not really acne either
it's just that the pores got pretty big
and it's always a bit red and greasy


and looks swollen

i don't think it's my natural shape cuz
there are days when its much skinnier when i have no congestion and clear skin

but most of the time it's kinda thick
it's really annoying

I have big pores on my nose too, and my nose isn't skinny. My nose is also thick-skinned. I think it's genetic because my dad has a big, thick-skinned nose with big pores.

really

well my dad has rosacea, so his nose is a bit red and swollen
but he didnt get it till he was older
plus i havent always had it
maybe the large pores just make it like this
cuz a few years ago when my pores were nonexistent
my nose wasn't thick

Big pores aren't bad because it's better to have oily skin then dry. Also your 17 which is an age acne is pretty common. I'm 22 and get acne sometimes too :eek:

Nooo...

I have the same issue with big pores and oily skin. However, my skin is only really oily on the nose. I try to cover it with makeup but it just melts right off and settles right back into the pores. I can't blend it in at all ever, and it just gets super irritating because it's by far my least favourite part of my face. I don't think my nose is actually "swollen", it's just gigantic to begin with and has really big pores and slippery oily skin. Urgh!!! If you find a fix for it, please tell me :p.

Have you tried using a make-up primer? I've found that it helps somewhat. I use Smashbox's Photo Finish, available at Sephora or Ulta. :)

I suggest to wash the face properly with soap often, and don´t eat fried and too greasy foods. I used to have horrible skin in my teenage because I ate a lot of fried things, but it improved since I stopped.
