Your nose might be glowing for a few reasons:
- Sebaceous glands: Your nose has a higher concentration of sebaceous glands, which produce oil. This oil can reflect light, making your nose appear shiny.
- Summer months: During the summer, you tend to sweat more, leading to increased oil production and a shinier nose.
- Combination skin: If you have combination skin, your T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) may be oilier than the rest of your face. This can result in a shiny nose, even if the rest of your face is dry.
- UV light: Your sebaceous filaments, which are tiny pores on your skin, can glow under UV light. This is due to the way they reflect the light.
- Filler: If you have had dermal filler injected into your nose, it can allow light to shine through, making your nose appear shiny.
If you are concerned about your shiny nose, you can try using blotting papers to absorb excess oil or talk to a dermatologist for advice on skincare routines tailored to your skin type.
