How do you get the dry boogers out if you don’t pick your nose?

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 scrub should help reseal the nose to your face and make the seams less noticeable.

Hope this helps!

Popped off your face as in… severed from your face? Is that possible?

Sorry, I think I may have timeslipped, I take it this isn't the stream of advanced face prostheses, my bad!

Damn it. I'm just starting to get a cold and that would be REALLY useful.

Don't worry, you can remove your nose today! As long as it is nog a requirement to put it back on, you should be fine for the foreseeable future

Everyone know the the real method is to grab it between your pointer and middle knuckles like you’re knocking an arrow. Then give it a good yank, and if you do it to someone else, yell, “got your nose!”, as loud as you can.
