I always get dry boogers and they’re impossible to remove when blowing into a tissue.
Get a mirror that doubles as a sort of magnifier to view the area around your nose closely & carefully. You’re looking for seams around the nose with which to gain leverage to gently pry off the nose to get better access to the nostrils within & beneath. Once the nose has been popped off your face, you can rinse both it and the exposed nostrils out with some warm water, which should get rid of the dry, compacted mucus.
You may want to take a soft, thin brush while you’re at this for a more thorough clean. Once both the removed nose and exposed nostrils are cleared to your satisfaction, realign your nose with the seams you found at the start and gently squeeze & press your nose to reconnect it with your face. A light splash of warm water and a light scrub should help reseal the nose to your face and make the seams less noticeable.
Hope this helps!

Are we still keeping up the farce that we don’t pick noses? It’s 2023, I think we can stop, and just be human.
Now, be clean about it, but just do it.

There’s a saying that everyone picks their noses, but what you do with it is a measure of your character.

It depends on the booger itself. If it’s a dry one, I just pinch it into a ball and flick it across the room. If it’s one of those wet, sticky, semi-solid ones, I rub it between my thumb and index finger until most of the moisture is removed and the booger is determined to be flickable without being a little bastard and just sticking to one of my nails.

You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose.
Or my favorite variation: You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t wipe your friends on the underside of the car seat.

Frugal is a good character trait…

I flick them. In the trash can or out the window if in the car.

Eat them, don’t wipe them. 😤

I picked my nose immediately after reading the title.

I also picked your nose immediately after reading the title.

There are boogers all over the bathroom wall. I get it, it’s a sawmill but Jesus it’s disgusting.
