Read the label of any hair removal product before you use it to remove nose hairs. The vast majority of hair removal products are not designed to be used on the face due to possible irritation to eyes, mucous membranes and sinus cavities. In addition, the cream may also leak from nostrils into your mouth.

Remove your nose hairs using a pair of tweezers, taking care not to pull out too many hairs at once, which will cause excessive pain. Only remove nose hairs that may be visible to others, not the ones that reside deep in your nostrils.

Tips & Warnings
When removing nose hair, take care only to remove what is visible to others, as opposed to trying to remove all the hair in your nostrils. Nose hair performs many important functions, such as trapping odors to enhance your sense of smell, and keeping dirt and foreign objects from entering your sinuses.
