I was born with a big nose and when I turned 12 I started to be ashamed of it. I even tried to save money to have plastic surgery. When I was around 23 years old I reconciled with myself. I didn't save up any money back then. Nowadays there are clothespins for the nose, they are supposed to make your nose smaller. Now I'm 36 years old and I finally decided to try various devices and procedures except for the surgery to understand whether they can somehow improve my appearance. To be honest, wearing certain masks to adjust the shape of the face or clothespins reducing the nose turned out to be a real self-torture. I don't know if this works or not. I doubt if l would be able to wear nose up shaping clips for several hours a day for several years.There is no evidence that this cream or that mask actually work.The result of some self care treatments is promised only with the regular use of it for several years or even a lifetime.
