Doctors say you should never wax or tweeze your nose hairs. The nose has lots of blood vessels and delicate tissue, so removing hair this way can cause infections like folliculitis or nasal cellulitis. Nose hairs exist for good reasons. They filter dust, pollen, and other particles from the air you breathe. They also protect you by making you sneeze when something dangerous gets too close. Plus, they help keep your nasal passages moist by trapping moisture from the air you breathe out. Instead of waxing or tweezing, doctors recommend trimming nose hairs with clean eyebrow scissors or using an electric trimmer. These methods are much safer and don't increase your risk of infection.
