So I have very pimply oily skin except for my nose :( my nose is flakey cracked dry along the sides and has a lot of black heads! I moisturize and exfoliate but nothings working :( I can't even cover up my nose cause it just draws attention to the flakes.

What type of are you using? Stick with a slightly acidic one, not a harsh one with beads or anything. Treat the pimples with salicylic acid and use an oil free moisturizer, you might invest in a night cream for your nose that's more heavy duty, my nose is the exact same way.

I highly recommend a Clarisonic. Its expensive but so worth it, best thing I ever did for my skin. They make face sponges though that will help exfoliate but you don't want to overdo it. I love my avon cleanser and its cheap. I recommend getting a toner (Lush has amazing ones or the Neatrogena Stress Control is good) you just apply it all over your face after washing with a cotton ball/pad. And make sure you are moisturizing, I use CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion. As for the blackheads, taking a toothbrush (a new unused one obviously lol) add a mixture of baking soda and water (make like a paste) and gently exfoliate onto the blackheads. Peroxide is also really great to clean with, it dries up pimples. Or try witch hazel.

And you can get the face sponges at cvs. Try steaming your face to open your pores by boiling water and then lean over it with a towel over your head for about 10-15 min, and then right after appy a mask (make a diy honey mask, or Queen Helene's Mint Julep mask, or Freemans mask work good too)

Try using a sugar and oil scrub (1 table spoon sugar and extra virgin olive oil mix till a slightly grainy texture) the sugar will exfoliate the dead skin and help in desquamation, the oil will nourish the skin but won't create spots/oily skin because the molecules in extra virgin olive oil are too big to penetrate the pores in the skin :) after exfoliating hold head over bowl of boilibg water (add essential oils if desired) then after 5-10min wrap fingers in tissue, pull skin taunt around blackhead push fingers together and wiggle to remover blackheads, wipe away blackheads with clean tissue and sanitize area when done, or using 1 tablespoon or milk and one tablespoon of unflavoured gelatine heat in microwave for 10sec, using paintbrush paint along nose, wait till dry and peel off, will work as blackhead removing strips :)
