I use nose strips to open my nose, and blue painters tape (allows use of lip balm & to fold an edge to lift away if you need to speak or sneeze). (westonaprice.org)
And for those of you who would like to give some extra attention to the nose area, I recommend a new Sephora Charcoal nose strip that will help you eliminate the black spots on your nose. (style-and-fun.com)
Believe it or now I've found this Neat & Easy brand at the Dollarama, the pack comes with roughly 10 - ish nose strips for only $ 3 and they work just as great as the Biore ones! (heykerriblog.com)
