How to get rid of an oily nose fast and overnight?!?
well, im 12 nearny 13 and i have such an oily nose, it's really just the nose i dont seem to notice it on my cheeks, chin or forehead. But i have such an oily nose and blackheads on it and it's really getting me down :/ when i put my foundation over it for school it looks fine, but as soon as i get to school like mid-day people always make remarks like "your nose is so shiny" and i dont wanna go out because of it, i wash my face with warm water then cold water, put a "Superdrug Vitamins Mousterizing Cream" on all over my face and the same at night but i use the night moiserizer(same make) Could this be it? And is their anything i could use on my face tonight, i cant go out and buy any stuff for it because it's night time and i have no money :/ so is there anything i could use around the house? vinegar(supposed to work)? egg yolk(tried before, worked for like 3 houres)? anything around the house?
Please, please, please help me

For tonight, make a paste out of baking soda and water. Apply it to your nose and let it dry for about 15 min. This should remove excess moisture and help blemishes heal faster.
If you have a lot of moisture, I’d suggest skipping the moisturizer at night. Before you put on makeup, it helps because most lotions have sunscreens and you’ll need it for the day. Tomorrow, while you’re at school, wash your face at lunch and reapply your makeup. It will remove some of the oil, and make you feel a little bit more fresh.
Otherwise, I’d suggest getting a new soap for washing your face when you get a chance. I like Clean & Clear products- they seem to work well for me. If you have acne problems, I’d suggest picking out one that also contains salicylic acid. If you don’t have a lot of pimples, but have blackheads, some kind of scrub might help a lot too. I like Biore pore strips and oil removing tissues for getting rid of extra nose oil and blackheads.
Good luck!

Do you have any talc or baby powder around the house?
Can you put this in a tiny bag or maybe a mini compact that you can take to the bathroom with you
around mid day. Just gently dust your face with the powder mid day to try to get rid of the shine.
Rub it in or people will ask why you are white.
If you do not have talc do you have tissues. Use them as blotting paper throughout the day. Every couple of hours use the ladies room and gentle touch the T Zone area (your nose) to blot the oils.
Pack these in your purse, pocket or backpack.
And let me tell you oils are part of the hormone changes going on and yes it is a bummer when it makes your face shiny. The black heads are clogged pores that are hardened. The make up you are using may be clogging your skin. My belief is that as long as you thoroughly remove your make up before bed (never, never go to sleep with make up on) you skin can clear up from the black heads, acne and shininess.
Tell your self you are never too tired to get rid of acne.
Do not use hot water or cold water. Use luke warm water only.
And tonight if you have Yogurt. Take plain yogurt or whatever you have and just plop this on your face for 10 or 20 min. Let it just smooth on and the natural acidophilus will help balance the skin out. Also eat a little yogurt too. Your body needs certain vitamins as your hormones rage. Vitamins
D (sunshine only 10 min) Vitamins B6 , B12, B1 and Zinc. Zinc is an amazing acne fighter.
To night and before school
Do use cottom balls of alcohol, lemon juice, vinegar or witch hazel to clean only the T zone area. Witch Hazel is actually the best. It helps balance the PH levels on your skin. Then put your make up on. In the future you may need to think about an oil free matte make up that will combat the oily t-zone. For now just use what you have but dust your face with powder at the end of the make up routine.
And don’t forget to take a little talc powder with you to keep that shiny nose matte.

If you have oily skin around your T-Zone (nose, forehead, or chin) then you have to cater to it differently than you do the rest of your face. Wash your nose with a very mild acne cleanser, and follow it up with some natural aloe-vera gel. This will replenish moisture but not soak your skin in unecessary oil that makes it shiny. For blackheads, I exfoliate my nose with regular baking soda once or twice every two days. It also helps control oil.
For a touch up during the day, tap a little face powder on your nose.
